#norcia

This railway, which was working between years 1926-1968, was constructed to connect Spoleto with Valnerina Valley and further with Adriatic Coast. It is small example of mountain railway where were used great solutions to defeat difficulties on the way (like valleys, mountains). 51 km of this track with its tunnels, viaducts, bridges and helical paths is a little gem of railway’s engineering.

Few years ago was born idea to reopen closed track for pedestrians and cyclists. The works on way conteined improvements of safety. Old train station in Spoleto changed into Museum of Ferrovia and other one in Sant'Anatolia di Narco into info point for tourists.

Now it’s open about 30 from 51 km: from Spoleto to Cerreto di Spoleto. It is a big attraction and big success.

I made first 19 km from Spoleto to Sant'Anatoplia di Narco. It is a great experience of contact with nature, friendly people on the way and beautiful views.

Two days ago we went to Castelluccio to make some shootings for my boyfriend’s video. We were very lucky because today I saw some photos from there with snow again! It’s one of my best places in Umbria or even in all Italy. Blue sky, vibrant green and silence…

Like I said, I did. Last Sunday we went to Norcia (Umbria) to join festa del tartufo - event dedicated to truffles where we could try best truffles from the region, some typical food like hams, cheeses, sweets and listen some folk music. 

Also this weekend (March 6/7/8) you can enjoy Nero Norcia!!!

This weekend (February 27/28 - March 1) and next weekend (March 6/7/8) for the 52-nd time in Norcia (Umbria) will have place this event dedicated to truffles. It is a great occasion to try regional food: hams, cheeses, sweets and of course tha main ‘star’ truffle served in many ways. I was there twice already and I hope to come back there also this time. See you!!
