We’d like to suggest an itinerary in Sabina, in the region of Lazio, for your holidays or even just for a Sunday trip out of town. Ideal, if you like to visit small historic villages, picturesque castles and, at the same time, feed on nature, panoramas and immerse yourself in the sacred woods.

It has been since March 2020 that we are no longer the same, not just in Italy but, to a more or less similar extent, worldwide. No one can say they were not affected by the health emergency. It has entered our lives, changing them irreparably. No one can avoid dealing with Covid, neither from a health point of view nor from that of social consequences.

So, given the distancing rules and the doctors’ recommendations on the subject, it has been almost worrying to attend crowded places for a couple of years now.

Suddenly, the pleasant serenity of a walk in a village, the joyful composure of a forest in the hills, the tranquil silence of a rural environment have become even more attractive. This is why slow tourism has been rediscovered, which is, moreover, certainly not a novelty. Continue reading “How Covid has changed our lives” →
