Carpineti to San Vitale



It has been a tough couple of weeks as I have been working long hours to get a project out  to meet an impossible deadline. But I was determined to get out on Sunday for a few hours.

I decided to do one of my favourite short walks in the Apennines. The walk from the castle of Carpineti  to the remains of a Romanic church at San Vitale along the top of a steep scarp slope that drops down almost vertically to the countryside below.  A walk that is always exhilarating with wonderful views of the high Apennines.

I got to the castle just as a thunderstorm was moving away and it seemed the sun would come out. I got some interesting light for the photographs I took.

When I got to San Vital I found the place was deserted, the bar in the restaurant where I was hoping to get something to drink  in this very remote spot was closed. I later found it was closed  due to bureaucratic problems caused by the chaos that the reorganization of local government has brought  to Italy.
