Rural life yesterday and today: Pontevecchio and Montefabbri

A project for eading the territory, a filter through which to view the landscape, trying to combine different looks, binding them tightly with the thread of imagination and poetry. Not only with the imagination, but starting from the traces left by the many characters and the many events of the lands of Vallefoglia, which create continuous references between one place and another. The landscape and water have therefore been identified as themes in which the Nymphs and Muses live and manifest themselves, allowing a comparison with those who have observed and "portrayed" the landscape in the past.

It is not difficult to tell about Sant'Angelo in Lizzola because the town is lively, rich in history, inhabited by welcoming people proud of their roots, full of small and large stories that still echo between old and new streets, where generations meet every day and have places and opportunities for exchange.

There are several good reasons to visit Colbordolo, but there are two elements that make it unique: the first is that it is the town that saw the birth of Giovanni Santi, Raphael's father, and the second is the ringing of the bell of the tower which moves with an ancient mechanism now impossible to find in nearby places. The bell on the tower today and Giovanni Santi yesterday are united by offering a privileged point of view on the territory: the first visual and physical, the second linked to the dimension of myth and art. There remain the stories that can be read in books, starting from the Rhymed Chronicles of Giovanni Santi, but also those that people tell today and there are still places that allow us to imagine with all the evocative force of which we are capable.
