La Fioritura dell'Altopiano di Castelluccio

Castelluccio di Norcia, Umbria

The Piano Grande (Great Plain) is a large plateau in the central Italian Appenine mountains. The Piano is flanked by the Sibilline group of mountains, the highest of which is Monte Vettore at 2,476m. The Piano is a karstic basin composed of porous limestone that holds underground reserves of water, and it supports an astonishing array of wild flowers in the spring and summer. Its single village, Castelluccio (Norcia), is perched on a high rock in the middle of plateau, and is famous for the small delicate lentils which are grown in the surrounding plain. (Wikipedia)
