Exploring an Ancient Etruscan Village
Hello dearest friends,
Today I was supposed to celebrate Easter Monday, but unfortunately the weather is not the best, so I thought of creating some posts to share here in the community. In fact, a few days ago, I discovered for the first time an ancient village of Etruscan origins located in the Casentino region, practically in the province of Arezzo. There's a village called Talla which, according to an ancient tradition and some documents of the time, is believed to be the birthplace of Guido Monaco, the inventor of musical notation. Apparently, there was also his birth house to visit, but I didn't make it in time.
This village has only about 970 inhabitants and is predominantly a rural municipality where the main economy is based on agriculture. In recent years, as I understand, there's also been a bit of tourism, mainly the type that seeks out more naturalistic places.
However, I managed to visit the church, which was open to the public, and I must say it was a very interesting visit. Although the interior of the church is quite plain, probably having been modified over time, there were some very interesting altar paintings. Nevertheless, you can tell it's a church that was built in medieval times, even though some of the frescoes have probably been covered with plaster.
Of course, I took my classic walk through the village streets; that's the only way to observe every detail of these beautiful places. I must say it's not much different from other villages I've visited. I noticed they were doing some renovation work in some cases, but it's evident that most of the houses are used mainly as holiday homes in the summer.
I didn't take too many photos that day because the weather wasn't the best. Lately, whenever I go on these excursions, I always seem to encounter bad weather; I'm very unlucky in that regard. But anyway, I hope I've somehow taken you with me on this journey.
I thank you all so much for the affection you show me in the comments. I wish you all a good day, and I'll see you in my next post.
A hidden gem.😊
thank you😘

The smallness of the place draws a lot of attention, is it as calm as it looks in the photos or is it because of the weather you mentioned?
But I believe that the true essence of these countries lies precisely in their intimate and intimate dimension. Walking through the cobbled streets, admiring the architectural details of the stone houses, stopping in a small square to observe local life flowing slowly and relaxed - all this contributes to creating a truly unique atmosphere of peace and serenity.
Yes really, I have always liked this type of architecture and beyond the simplicity that can be noticed, this type of place is ideal to find tranquility.

Wow, thank you so much @lizanomadsoul! I am truly honored that my review was included in Travel Digest's Honorable Mentions.
I see that in Central Italy we all share that yellow-greyish sky full of sand and dust... luckily these small cities are always beautiful to visit despite the weather :)
yes there was this problem which fortunately has passed! but it got my whole car dirty!!😂
@silviared945 Beautiful village with its roads and stone houses.
It's really nice to see how these places manage to preserve their authenticity and unique character, thanks for the comment!
