Labro

L'antico feudo dei Vitelleschi è giunto ai giorni nostri così com'era nel medioevo, come se il tempo non lo avesse nemmeno sfiorato, offrendo al visitatore un'atmosfera veramente particolare.
The ancient Vitelleschi feud has reached modern times as it was in the Middle Ages, as if time hasnt' even withered it, offering the visitor a truly particular atmosphere.
Some decades ago, an architect from Belgium bought a house in the town, and then bought many others in ruins. He then began to invite his friends to the town...to sell them the various ruins under the condition that he could take care of the restoration.
The result is truly attractive.
There are not only particularly important monuments in Labro; that which interests the visitor is the atmosphere the town manages to create.
The city dominates a tall hill; no modern building disturbs this medieval panorama; the belltower rises above the town.
Having entered the main entry, you begin to wander along the narrow alleyways and small stairways; the entire town is made of stone and even the pavement is constructed from large cobblestones. Many walls are covered by climbing plants that bloom in springtime. Every once in a while panoramic views open toward the Reatina Plain and Piediluco Lake.
The castle is still inhabited by the family that built it in the Middle Ages, the Noble Vitelleschi family, that allows for guided visits every day, morning and afternoon. For information and reservations, contact 0746 636020.
