		<description><![CDATA[We opened the shutters to the majestic snow-capped Gran Sasso (&#8220;big rock&#8221; and it IS). After breakfast, we headed to the new Comune (town hall/county seat) where Pino had to present a proposal for seismic restoration. I waited across the street at a new cafe&#8217; &#8211; with modern minimalist lines &#8211; and talked with the&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/onna-earthquake/">(more)</a>]]></description>

Palazzo after patrician palazzo formally stand post, side-by-side, lining both sides of the river for most of the centro storico.

		<description><![CDATA[The Pollino Mountains – Calabria’s youngest and Italy’s largest national park – stretches through northern Calabria into neighboring Basilicata. The land, rugged and wild, is indifferent to its grandeur and much like the strong Calabrian women who call this land home, it can’t be properly appreciated – or understood – by those who rush.

		<description><![CDATA[There is an engaging little museum nestled in the heart of the Venetian dolomites, ski country. The theme of the museum is, somewhat surprisingly, clay whistles. Clay whistles used to be a lot more popular than they are nowadays, and in fact they have been in use since around 6000 B.C.

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve ever traveled south on the A3 Highway through Calabria, you might have noticed ancient ruins looming above the motorway. This sight &#8211; il Monastero di Colloreto &#8211; was built in 1545 as an Augustan convent. The ruins are remarkable and the site is much larger than it seems from the street, however, reaching&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/mystery-monastery/">(more)</a>]]></description>

In the sixteenth century the intricate lacework first appeared on the collars of personages painted by Marchigiano master Simone De Magistris.

		<description><![CDATA[Vibo Valentia, the capital of Calabria’s smallest and youngest province, is located between Pizzo and Tropea on Calabria’s Tyrrhenian Coast. It is often bypassed for its star-studded neighbors, whose Miocene cliffs and tufa caves dominate the guide books, but Vibo and its seaside counterpart, Vibo Marina, also merit a stop.

		<description><![CDATA[With the recent snow, the roads to Collepino will be impassable. Maybe not the last of the many castle-villages in Umbria, but certainly one of the most picturesque, pink limestone gem, Collepino, slumbers on a mountainside above Spello in almost monastic quiet. Befitting: Collepino has an ancient link to a monastery, for medieval Collepino was&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/collepino/">(more)</a>]]></description>

In the tiny village of Castelnuovo di Farfa, north of Rome in Lazio, there is the most sophisticated celebration of olive oil and olive trees in Italy. Along with the usual displays of centuries-old oil presses and containers, there is&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/singing-olive-tree/">(more)</a>]]></description>
