The flowering of Castelluccio and Italy

Words do not convey the idea of what can be admired. A miracle of nature in a valley of superb mountains, especially Mount Vettore. Too bad for the conditions in which Castelluccio di Norcia still finds itself

Norcia is located on the Santa Scolastica plateau, and is known for its gastronomic tradition based on pork butchery products, such as ham, sausage and truffles. It has been hit by various earthquakes throughout its history: the last one, in 2016, caused serious damage to its artistic and cultural heritage.

The Pian Grande of Castelluccio is a karst-alluvial plateau of the Umbria-Marche Apennines, located in the municipality of Norcia (PG), at the foot of Monte Vettore. It is famous for its flowering, the phenomenon that colors the landscape with poppies, cornflowers, daisies and lentils between May and July.

The flowering of the fields cultivated with lentils and various legumes is very beautiful but at the same time must be respected. Take a picture without entering and trampling the fields. Respect above all.
