La Valnerina – Taccuino di viaggio

The journey takes place in Valnerina touching the municipalities of Arrone, Cascia, Cerreto di Spoleto, Ferentillo, Monteleone di Spoleto, Montefranco, Norcia, Preci, Poggiodomo, Polino, Sant’Anatolia di Narco, Scheggino, Sellano, Vallo di Nera, Visso. Like all respectable journeys, what Egildo Spada undertakes in Valnerina is a journey through space and time, it is not an imaginary journey or one imagined in the confines of a room by fishing in one’s memory or by consulting tourist books and brochures. The space, natural and above all the human one in which the journey takes place is that of the Valnerina area, which the author knows in depth because here he was born and worked for a very long part of his life. The Valnerina that Spada tells us about, made up of many small towns that base their identity on a centuries-old history, is not the one that belongs to current stereotypes, but it is the one that was formed in a difficult relationship between man and the environment nature that has made it possible to build a territory on a human scale.
