Gioconda Balcony – Monte Costagrande

THE BALCONIES OF GIOCONDA (Leonardo da Vinci) - Monte Costagrande."Montefeltro Art Views - where art and landscape meet".
"It is like entering a work of art: before your eyes, the same identical landscapes that Piero della Francesca painted, in the fifteenth century, against the background of works such as the diptych of the Dukes of Urbino, San Gerolamo and a devotee, the Nativity, the Resurrection or the Baptism of Christ. A unique experience, to be lived in the Romagna and Marche hinterland thanks to the discovery of two "landscape hunters", as Rosetta Borchia and Olivia Nesci have been nicknamed who have identified, hidden in Montefeltro, the real views - of reliefs, cliffs, hills, rivers - that inspired the great painter. A discovery that took place in 2007, which marked the beginning of the Montefeltro Vedute Rinascimentali project with its Balconies by Piero. Nine natural balconies (currently 2022) on the Marche and Emilia-Romagna landscapes that have direct correspondences with the backgrounds of some works by Piero della Francesca and Leonardo da Vinci.
Scattered throughout the territory, they are small viewpoints from which the view sweeps between art and reality: with the reproduction of the Master's work corresponding to the Balcony under your eyes, you immediately grasp the landscape he painted in the vision you have in front of you. "
