OUR LANDS
|
All made of hills and mountains,
streams and lakes, sources and waterfalls, crossed by the Tiber,
Umbria offers a landscape that is so beautiful to be defined "picture-landscape".
Tuscanian lands
We
could have a "never-ending discussion" if the Siena's lands form the most
beautiful Italian province: Surely it can't be denied that it is the most
varied and animated. It is so varied that it continuously contradicts
itself opposing, in a few miles, the almost moutain landscape of the metalliferous
hills (Chiusdino, Radicondoli and Casole) to the harsh and austere magnificence
of Crete di Arsciano, Buonconvento, San Giovanni d'Asso). Its prestigeous
vineyards are like towers defending its borders (Brunello di Montalcino,
Chianti, Vernaccia). Its territory alternates woods, rocks and clay.
The olive groves and its generous lands producing fruits such as truffles and saffron alternate strikingly to spas. Among the land-sea waves the castles, ancient villages and fortresses rise, but the most common walls are those of the farm houses, stonemade buildings, witnesses of an important rural culture. It is an always new and surprising land, to be remembered for its generous hospitality. It corresponds mostly to the Viterbo province
and it is located in the northern part of Latium, bordering on Tuscany
(north) and Umbria (east). In Tuscia there are medium elevation hills,
two vulcanogenie lakes, wide flat lands and a spa close to Viterbo. |
