I love these old hill towns, especially those that have not been compromised by consumerism (tasteless souvenir shops etc). I was wondering "where is everyone?" // Wow, you saved the best for last: that panoramic sweep is breathtaking. Thank you for making this and for sharing it!
Thank you for watching, commenting and complimenting! I, too, adore these unknown destinations, although the lack of tourists is a big problem for Citta della Pieve as they have no other industry or job opportunities, really, so people are vacating the village to move to the urban areas where they can find work. So aside from it being morning when I took this walk, the town does not actually have that many inhabitants any more, the combination of which ensured that I would not really encounter many people during my stroll. 😔
Also, I should mention that is one part of two full videos that I produced on this morning walk. This one is the morning walk set to medieval and Renaissance Italian music: ua-cam.com/video/L4tPDrh-n2g/v-deo.html
@@travelswiththecontessa5307 You provided the broad perspective of what is happening to these small towns. It's not ideal for the people who live there but have no way to earn a living. The big trade-off. I can see that having some tourist amenities could make a difference. That, however, might be a slow transition. How about rentals to artists, writers, craft people who would appreciate some level of isolation?
Short but wonderful!
For those for whom time (or attention span) is short! 😀
You lost me at "Fo..." - Not. LOL.@@thecreativecontessa
