BEAUTIFUL
LITTLE MEDIEVAL TOWNS Places where you can look into yourself, face your imagination:
places where you can "breathe in the sense of time," and smell the
"odor of life and its seasons”. The villages are these enchanting
places, whose centuries-old beauty transcends our lives. MIDDLE ITALY Anghiari (Arezzo) A Medieval Treasure between the Tiber and the Arno. The
village is a nest of expert antiquarians who scour the surrounding area in
search of precious relics from the past. Castiglione del Lago (Perugia) A Fortress
on a Veil of Silver.
The
name derives from the medieval fortress built around 1250 and called
“Castello del Leone” (Lion Castle) because of its pentagonal shape inspired
by the constellation Leo. Connected
to the medieval Rocca, the Palazzo della Corgna is a monumental complex of
great historical and artistic importance, created between the 16th and 17th
centuries. It contains one of the major painting cycles of the late Mannerism
in Umbria and Tuscany. Castel
di Tora (Rieti)
Castel
di Tora stretches along the shore of the artificial lake of Turano,
surrounded by a crown of thick woods. Rising above is Mt. Navegna (1506 m),
from the peak of which on clear days the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome
can be seen with the naked eye. Santo Stefano di Sessanio (L’Aquila)
The
village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio is perhaps the most fascinating of all of
man’s achievements in the entire Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e dei Monti
della It
is built entirely out of white limestone, which has become dulled with time. All
the houses are covered with clay tiles, providing a harmonious overall view
to those gazing down on it from the top of the Medici tower. The village is
considered one of the most beautiful in Abruzzo, for its pure environmental
values, architectural dignity and stylistic homogeneity. |
