Nel 2003 Rebecca ha iniziato a scrivere dei saggi per il sito Slow Travel, raccontando la sua esperienza di ragazza di città che dagli Stati Uiniti si è trasferita nella campagna umbra.
Le sue riflessioni sono riprodotte qui.
Umbria Slow:
Now this is my quest. Thank you for telling me about this tree!
It has been added to travel must-see bucket list.
Thanks for sharing! I love how old thing are on Italy and the history behind them.
What an amazing tree! I’ve added this post to my top 10 posts this week from the bloggers in Italy on http://www.italytutto.com
Ciao ciao
@Italytutto…thanks! This was a special post for me, so it’s been great to have such an enthusiastic reception.
@Eric…this tree is old even for Italy!
@Paula…there is a great restaurant near there, so you can stop for lunch as long as you’re emptying your bucket!
@George…It’s a great quest because there is a fabulous restaurant nearby. Nothing like a quest with lunch thrown in!
Two questions, please:
1. Is it possible to visit this tree with a small (24) group via a 30-passenger motorcoach, i.e. can the coach get in and out easily and be able to park so the group can get off and take photos? The group will be staying in nearby Trevi.
2. Where exactly is the tree in Bovara?
Thanks!!
The tree is just a few hundred meters up the road from the Benedictine abbey in Bovara, so the coach can stop there and you can walk the rest of the way up the hill. It’s quite easy to find (Bovara is tiny and the abbey is the largest building there).
