it's quite amazing how aesthetic and atmospheric the historical centre of almost any italian city or town is.
you reallycaptured viterbo well.
viterbo is near lake bolsena, in lazio, half an hour north of rome.
it's a magical area where i have gone camping quite often.
have you found the hot springs at marta yet?
apart from being the hottest i found in italy, the pools are deep and wide enough for swimming, which is very unusual.
the other good thing is they're out in the middle of a field, without any of the luxy or commercialised infrastructure that has desouled other hot springs.
it's about 2 1)2 hrs south of where i live, beatig down the 4-laned but badly surfaced E45.
you know a hot springs is good when you put 5 hrs there and back drive to enjoy them.!
saturnia on monte amiata is very special too, where the whole river is hot, giving you a constant rolling massage of hot sulphury water.
great pix, thanks!

I've never been to Marta, never been to Saturnia either - but they're both on my list of places to visit, sound fascinating. I'm also interested in Monte Amiata because of its tragic religious history - the crushing of Davide Lazzaretti's Giusdavidic movement in the 19th century - so sooner or later I'll make my way there.

i have skiid up there and it has a ppwerful vibe, stunning countryside around saturnia too, especially with the flame-yellow scotch broom -ginestra - perfuming and lighting up the hillsides in spring.
there is a big airbase near viterbo, i heard quite a lot of traffic in the sky at night there.
Marta is only a few clicks from viterbo, on the road to montefiascone.
very pretty lake village, with white swans i wanted to kidnap and take to trasimeno!

Fascinating story - a 19th century religious visionary along the lines of Gioacchino da Fiore, with a mystical utopian-socialist agenda complete with red banner bearing the words "The Republic is the Kingdom of Heaven" and a liking for the Paris Comune. Not surprisingly, he got excommunicated by the Pope then shot down by the Carabinieri. "Ignoring moralities is always undesirable, but doing so systematically is really worrisome." Mohammed Khatami
running head on into reality at warp speed...
if the christians don't get you, the cops will...
sound slike he made it to the kingdom of heaven a little earlier than he anticipated! "These days, there's nothing more ridiculous than the truth." Leonard Pitts Jr
