Castelluccio di Norcia in Italy

Castelluccio is a village in Umbria, in the Apennine Mountains of central Italy. According to the 2001 census, it had close to 150 inhabitants. Castelluccio is an emotion, a magic place where men and nature blend themselves and find their harmony. It is located in the heart of Valnerina, inside the National Park of the Sibillini Mountains. The history of Castelluccio and its development are related to farming but what made this small village famous over time is the phenomenon of flowering. The plains offer a magnificent landscape every moment of the year, but a visit in this uncontaminated place is a must during the flowering!
