Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English.
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:
I love this posting. Appropriate poetry, beautiful scenery, interesting history. Thank you very much for sharing.
Io amo questo intervento. Opportuno poesia, bei paesaggi, la storia interessante. La ringrazio molto per la condivisione.
As always, Rebecca, love your writing!
@David, thanks so much for stopping by and for your wonderful commment! When I saw that poetry quote, it was too perfect to pass up….
Thanks, Mary. When the season slows down lets meet up for a cappuccino!
As always a charming, humorous, and wonderfully enlightening post. I feel like I’m traveling with you when you give us such lovely images as well. I’d love to see more portraits of locals too if at all possible.
The poem is a perfect complement to the image above it.
Oh Rebecca, this was so lovely!
Came upon your Slow Travel “Rebecca’s View” piece on the average guidebook myths & misconceptions regarding Italian culture, and found myself nodding fiercely in agreement, and often laughing out loud (yes, actually spelled out in words, I hate the indiscriminate use of “LOL”).
I must make it a point to come stay at Brigolante one of these days with my little boy for some healthy and tasty bit of Umbria.
Ciao and again complimenti!

Eleonora…I’m so pleased that you stopped by; I love your AglioOlioPeperoncino Blog! Yes, Umbria is a great place to come and get kids out of the city for awhile. We are friends with Linda and Steve from The Beehive in Rome, and they often come out so their girls can run around outside for awhile. Thanks again for your comment, and a presto!
A wonderful interlude away from our chaotic world! How I would like to disappear into a town such as this and live a very simple, quiet life with art, countryside, history,architecture all around for me to cherish each day upon rising…….
Ahhhhh, just my fantasy
Love your posting Rebecca!
Pace e bene!
Monica
Thanks, Monica, for stopping by and taking the time to leave such a lovely comment!
Uao !!! Che capacità di far vivere i luoghi attraverso il racconto! Andremo ad Arrone nel finesettimana per fare a piedi da Arrone a Piediluco ( Via Marmore). Grazie per i suggerimenti :-)
Wow! Living the places through your words! Thanks! We will go to Arrone on this weekend to do a walk from Arrone to Piediluco (Via Marmore’s falls). Thanks for the suggestions :-)
