Here a nice view from far distance of my village ---Verucchio (Rimini, Italy).
A medieval spot were Malatesta Family lived in 1300 d.C., based in romagna, next to San Marino Republic.
This little town, is mentioned in Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedia" , next to the story of Francesca da Rimini..
Here's the web site

Interesting historical site: a very ancient archeology musem and site for the Etruschi, a population living there around VIII sec b.C.
Events: at the end of July, a very interesting musical festival, where artsist play their concerts into the historical structures....really suggestive. here a photo of Emiliana Torrini's concert, where i was...an impressive voice ( she's icelandic, even the name sound..italian!!)
Many other events during the year....
Landscape: Verucchio is the first little mountain coming from the seaside. So it's amazing the view on the Adriatic coast
On the other side you can find the frst Appennini Mountains, with dreaming woods around the big Marecchia river valley, really some places where faery seems to live.
Sometimes, even Verucchio is only 390 mt on the sea, from my house i can see a white see:
My favourite spot is Saiano Monastery..landed on the river, near amazing wood and a cycling path, surrounded by wild nature and animals, where i usually go to walk...it makes me feel as inside a faery tales...in this photo, Saiano is the little hill on the downside right, where wonderfully sun is shining ( this is the landscape i see from my studio's window..)
