Winter at Last



Winter has finally arrived here in Reggio Emilia, with our first snow this year.I managed to get up into the mid Apennines to enjoy the snow.

Castello di Carpineti, Carpineti, RE

I ended up at  Castello di Carpineti dating from the time of Matilda of Canossa, perched on a crest  high above the Secchia Valley. From here the view across the Apennines is spectacular. This castle is the most interesting fortification to visit in the province of Reggio Emilia

The bare trees contrasting with the snow turn the landscape into an abstract vision.
