Sculpture Park in Architecture

Art where you least expect it

The art of bobbin lace deserves a monument

Thread, pins, bobbins. Patience, time, care... Wonder arises from the skilled hands of women, sitting as they once did on the doorstep, guardians of an ancient art handed down from mother to daughter.

Italy's smallest theater

A trompe-l'oeil for the tiny stage and only 12 spectators-a gem with an oriental flavor in Vigoleno Castle, itself a treasure chest of a thousand Wonders.

A waterfall in the historic center, actually two

Coming all the way from Abruzzo to here, in the village called "Isola del Liri," the Liri River takes a 27-meter leap and then resumes its course among the houses. A unicum in Italy!

Barnekow House, alchemical and esoteric symbols

An ancient house on the main street of Anagni. A facade full of esoteric symbols and alchemical secrets revealed in arcane tombstones. The legacy of a Swedish alchemist painter in the second 1800s.

The Nivola Museum in Orani

What is the thread that unites art, architecture and landscape? We find out here, wandering among the works of Oranian artist and sculptor Costantino Nivola (1911-1988).

The ruins of Tharros, an open-air museum

Founded by the Phoenicians in the 8th century B.C. and abandoned in the 11th century A.D., Tharros tells two millennia of history. Unforgettable symbol of the archaeological area, the two soaring columns facing the sea.

Lake Gerosa

A long, deep body of water surrounded by greenery, a destination for fishing and water sports enthusiasts. Artificial yes, but you can't see it! At the bottom, the ruins of houses abandoned in 1983.

Celano Gorge

One of the most spectacular canyons in Italy: towering walls that hide the sun, the creek bed to climb... Adventure and beauty.

Montefiore dell'Aso

Stunning views from the Sibillini Mountains to the sea. Here, in one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy," are hidden treasures: one - not to be missed - is a Polyptych by Carlo Crivelli. The others... discover them for yourself!

Tower of Barì: the danger came from the sea

The green sea, the amber beach, equally divided between Mari de is Ominis and Mari de is Feminas, and in the center her, the Tower of Barì. For 500 years defending against privateers.

The "Devil's Steps": the 46 steps of the devil

46 footprints on the glowing lava? It had to be a demon! Away with it! It wasn't. It was later discovered to be Homo Heidelbergensis: his is the oldest human footprint in all of Europe.

The "Comole" of Castel Morrone

Millions of years ago the earth on the flank of Mount Fioralito suddenly sinks. Two huge, sheer-walled craters open up: two openings to enter (carefully) into the bowels of the earth.

Campanian amphitheater

The gladiator Spartacus? He was here. Ancient Capua built an amphitheater second in size only to the Colosseum and was home to the first school for gladiators.

Oasis Le Salicelle

Here the water of the Volturno River invades the land and creates ecosystems: reeds, willows and poplars become a stopover for migratory birds and the realm of waders, grebes, raptors... A paradise for birdwatchers.

The village of Casertavecchia

At 400 meters above sea level and 10 kilometers from Caserta, there is an ancient haven of peace: narrow streets and stores, the square, fresh air and views, not to mention the cathedral, the dome and the Hawk Tower...

"Mother Goddess" from Cuccuru Is Arrius.

Opulent forms a sign of fertility, smooth skin, a sophisticated headdress.... The "mother goddess" perhaps represents the eternal cycle of life. Found in a necropolis, it is more than 6,000 years old.

Gorropu Gorge

Carved and shaped by the Flumineddu River, it is the second deepest canyon in Europe, a natural monument of rare beauty and a treasure trove of biodiversity. Only here does the rare nuragic columbine bloom.

Nuraghe Orgono

Built in different eras, with different techniques, it is a condensation of the history of Nuragic architecture. A unicum, with unusual elements such as the staircase or the external niche. And a spectacular view.

Perdas fittas: the menhirs of Pranu Muttedu

Isolated, in pairs, in circles, in rows: here alone in this wonderful Archaeological Park there are about 60 menhirs, mysterious and magnetic, older than Stonehenge.
