Place
Castelluccio di Norcia
Castelluccio di Norcia Surprised by its direct relationship between plateau, vegetation and peasant architecture, the visit requires a rhythm set to let the details of the frame emerge, especially on light and topography. A place to see by fragments rather than as a simple passage.
Nature
Ascoli Piceno
Ascoli Piceno It is captured by its materials and its squares, then thickened in the daily stroll of the older streets. We understand the local history by observing the rhythms of traffic, the facades and the relief that surrounds the city. A warm stop for the regional routes.
Nature
Lake Fiastra
The lake of Fiastra is a high quality natural stop, with a water surface that frames nearby mountains and shaded paths. Walking times can be short or longer depending on the desire, but the place wins when you let the light evolve. A fluid experience in the open air.
