Memories of Guelphs and Ghibellines among mountain landscapes

  • Europe
  • Italy
  • Camonica Valley

Valle Camonica, a beautiful valley in the Italian Alps where you can correlate its wonderful green furrowed by the blue river with the bloody and indelible traces of its past, such as those left by two opposing factions of the late Middle Ages; the Guelphs and Ghibellines. We retrace among castles and ruins events in history that made this valley a place of the clash between these two factions.
