Vallo di Nera – Italy Off the Beaten Path
Join us on a breathtaking virtual journey to Vallo di Nera, one of Umbria’s most beautifully preserved medieval villages, perched on a hill above the Nera River in the heart of the Valnerina valley. With its cobblestone alleys, ivy-covered walls, and sweeping views over the surrounding countryside, Vallo di Nera is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets.
As we wander through this fortified village, we’ll admire the intact city walls, ancient towers, and graceful arched gateways that have stood guard for centuries. Our guide Patrizia will lead us through quiet lanes and stone piazzas, past medieval houses and rustic doors that seem to whisper stories of the past.
We’ll explore remarkable churches like Santa Maria Assunta, known for its stunning 14th-century frescoes, and discover local legends—tales of saints, shepherds, and soldiers that shaped the soul of this village. Along the way, we’ll pause to take in the incredible vistas over the lush Umbrian landscape and hear about the traditions that still define daily life here, from transhumance to artisan crafts.
This is your chance to wander through one of Italy’s most peaceful and enchanting villages—no ticket required.
