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.

NORTHERN ITALY

 

Orta San Giulio (Novara)

 

“The place, bizarrely, is called Orta. Someone who knew how to see, my father says, once defined it a watercolor painted by God” (M. Werner, Terraferma). Island of San Giulio emerges 400 meters from the shore. Seen from the lake, the tall bell tower of the Basilica, the gardens, and the neat little houses seem to form an enchanted palace rising alone among the castle ruins.

 

 

 

 

 

Vernazza (5 Terre - La Spezia)

 

Wedged Between the Sea and the Rock of the Cinque Terre.

As we approach Vernazza from the sea, its small piazza seems to slowly open its arms to greet us. We come ashore, and the small harbor,  seems to close around us, sheltering us from the sea winds and welcoming us inside u cantu de musse, the conversation corner. Here, facing the Mediterranean sea and relaxing and chatting with others, one seems to return to the basics of life.

 

 

 

Arquà Petrarca (Padova)

 

The Gentle Hills of the Poet, an Oasis of Art and Nature in the Heart of Veneto

Airiness, lightness, serenity: what other moods could describe this 14th-century village that has been called, in reference to Petrarch, the “town of the vigil,” suitable for those who wish to abandon themselves to nirvana, struck by flashes of inner visions?

But there is also a luminous side, provided by the light-colored stone of its buildings, its churches, its town houses inspired by Petrarch built for rich families from Venice.

 

 

 

Compiano (Parma)

 

A Ghibelline Castle in the Apennine Woods.

 

Compiano is the typical medieval fortified village that came into being along the defensive bulwark of the upper Taro valley.

And the Castle as well, sitting like a crown at the top of the village, has had no fear of the passing of time, as it was inhabited by its last owner up until 1987.
