Hi my friend!!! Today I will introduce you to a little-known village located in the Marche region in central Italy, a small and very ancient fraction of the municipality of Montegallo in the province of Ascoli Piceno very close to the border with the Umbria and Abruzzo regions, about 150 kilometers from my home, I'm talking of the village of Corbara called "The village of the Crows", in fact the name Corbara in these parts means "Place where there are crows".
To get to Corbara by car along the A14 Adriatica motorway you have to take the "Ascoli Piceno - San Benedetto del Tronto" exit and continue from the sea in the direction of the mountains towards Ascoli Piceno for about 55 kilometres, you can set your navigator to easy to get to this place, the roads are good.
History of Corbara
Corbara is outlined in the arc of a large and solemn natural scenario dominated by massive sandstone prominences, smoothed and honeycombed by the slow and peremptory action of the wind and rain.
The presence of this continuous, insurmountable buttress has influenced the location and configuration of the recess, which is drawn compactly along the line marked by the trend of the rock.
The close interdependence between the settlement and its dominant background creates building and environmental situations of great importance.
An important three-storey tower-house, with its solid and peremptory front wall, punctuated by single lancet windows, competes with the severe and irregular rocks of the background, bending the conformation of the place to the assertive and imposing dictate of the artifice masonry.
A gently sloping lane runs along the most imposing rock banks. Alongside the road, a long theory of buildings, intended to shelter equipment, with the original roof of limestone slabs, rests on the living rock and uses it as a perimeter wall. Thus a subtle interpenetration is created between the built environment and the imposition of the sandstone masses, with a suggestive force that offers few terms of comparison. Limiting ourselves to Europe, a scenario of this type can only be found in Sardinia and Portugal.
To act as a pendant to the tuffaceous mass that concludes the village on the opposite side stands the mass of the solid tower house which has belonged at least since the 17th century to the Bonelli family.
terpreting the methods of the best fourteenth-century painting with skill and sensitivity. In the harshness of the scenario of Corbara, the figure of the "Poverello d'Assisi" is particularly significant, ideally connected to the presence of the nearby Franciscan hermitage, to enrich the suggestion of the places with a vein of serene mysticism.
13th CENTURY PAINTING
As you can see, even a very small town can hide many surprises, surprises that would look great even in a museum.
👇 I'll leave you a few more shots of the village 👇
My friend, I suggest you take a walk in this village if you are in the area, it is really very nice, the walk is comfortable, pleasant and surprising!!
A beautiful landscape!!

That's so cool! I have been to some villages like that around Umbria and Tuscany, and some in Spain, and they never fail to amaze me. In fact, looking at the church murals, maybe I have... I have been to Assisi too. A long time ago now.
Thank you @riverflows , I have received some reports of such countries in different places, I have to look into it... yes Assisi is truly wonderful and as for the ancient murals... those representing St. Francis of Assisi are many throughout central Italy.
If you are in Tuscany and Umbria again, I suggest you go to Marche next time!!😉😉
Thanks a lot for the appreciation!!😁
Limiting ourselves to Europe, a scenario of this type can only be found in Sardinia and Portugal.There is a village Val Bavona, in Switzerland built in and around large rocks.

I believe there are also examples also in Greece also.
Thank you very much @leoplaw ,😊 you are right, I also had other reports about countries with similar characteristics, I made a mistake by mentioning only Sardinia and Portugal, next time I will pay more attention, thank you for letting me know this place in Switzerland, I will definitely look into it hoping to can visit it soon!!😉
I look forward to your Hive post about your visit Emanuele. 😃
I really liked the whole post
In itself the town already had that great attraction. But, the level of detail that you present us is incredible for all that you can describe.
Thank you very much for sharing

Thank you @flquin For me it is a satisfaction when my post introduces a new place to the members of the community!!😆😉
Thank you for the appreciation!!!😊
These structures reminds me so much of the stone forest in Kunming, China! Only, instead of dwellings like we see here, the stone forest had a forest carved into stones! I'd sure love the opportunity to have a walk down the alleys of the village!
I shared your post on LeoThreads as a part of the outreach campaign!
