00:07 We are in Spoleto, for the beginning of the 8th stage
00:10 that will take us to Abruzzo, under the Gran Sasso.
00:12 A very hard mountain stage, but before we get tired, let's go and discover it.
00:16 [Music]
00:21 Hi, my name is Diego Gastaldi, I'm a traveler and a documentary filmmaker.
00:24 This year I decided to follow the tour of Italy
00:26 to discover the beauties of the beautiful country and the Made in Italy.
00:29 Follow me!
00:30 [Music]
00:40 Hi Giovanni! Hi Diego!
00:41 Welcome to Spoleto!
00:42 We are in the center of Spoleto, where the Duomo is located,
00:44 the most iconic square in our city.
00:47 This view you see is suitable for the most beautiful film and TV series set.
00:54 And not by chance, here we are also in the square where the house of the inventor of the Festival of the Two Worlds is located,
01:00 Giancarlo Menotti, who was a composer,
01:03 who chose this city as the stage of the world's most famous multidisciplinary festival.
01:10 The Festival of the Two Worlds made us famous.
01:12 We are at the 67th edition, the one that will come.
01:15 And this is the largest theater in Spoleto.
01:17 It was finished in 1864, almost 800 seats.
01:22 In fact, this is the place where the Festival of the Two Worlds is historically inaugurated.
01:26 The one up there is La Rocca, our other best known monument.
01:32 Built in the mid-1300s, it had a lot of illustrious guests, including Lucrezia Borgia,
01:38 who was the owner of the house of La Rocca.
01:41 Then it became a prison for 150 years, to become today the Museum of the Longobard Ducat,
01:47 which in Spoleto was also one of the most important Longobard Ducats of the High Middle Ages.
01:52 A city of Roman origin, then Longobard, from 1300 it became part of the Pontifical State,
02:01 under which, from an important strategic defense presidium,
02:04 it slowly became a cultural pole, of which it will maintain its vocation to this day.
02:10 [Music]
02:18 Ah Giovanni, this is an old railway, here the train passed.
02:21 Exactly, here from 1926 to 1968 a train with a reduced discharge passed,
02:27 which connected Spoleto with Norcia.
02:29 It's a nice way to reconvert these old routes.
02:31 It's the only way to do it.
02:33 You do sustainable tourism, you walk, you go by bicycle, you take beautiful walks
02:39 and you can get from Spoleto to Norcia without struggling.
02:42 Well, then I'll do it.
02:44 Well, it seems right to me.
02:45 Thank you.
02:46 Bye, thank you.
02:47 See you next time.
02:48 Have a good trip, thank you, see you next time.
02:50 Spoleto is not only a city of culture, but a starting point for cycle routes
02:57 that cross the entire Umbria, a region particularly devoted to cycling.
03:02 [Music]
03:11 Welcome to the Tivo meadows, in Pietracamela.
03:13 Thank you, thank you.
03:14 Well, we're up, you can tell by the fact that it's snowing.
03:16 Of course, it's spring, but today we welcomed you with the snow.
03:21 Pietracamela, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, is also the gateway to the Gran Sasso of Italy.
03:27 As you can see, there is the writing in the dialect of the Prota, which represents the name of Pietracamela Antico.
03:33 The essence of this place, which is the stone.
03:35 The stone, as you can see, shines the life of this place and has also given way to the mountaineering culture,
03:43 one of the oldest mountaineering cultures in Italy, of the Aquilotti del Gran Sasso.
03:47 And this mountaineering association this year has completed 100 years of activity.
03:51 [Music]
03:59 This is the Gagliardetto of the Aquilotti del Gran Sasso.
04:02 It all started with the passion of the doctor, founder of the group, passionate about flying saucers.
04:08 So he climbed on the rocks here above the village to be able to discover the nests of flying saucers.
04:15 Together with a group of young people from the village, they began to push themselves up to the search for nests.
04:21 Acquiring a little climbing technique, they practically began to track new routes on these purple walls.
04:30 I imagine for you these walls are a second home.
04:32 Yes, I am here in Pietracamela and I started moving my first steps on the rock,
04:38 right in this cliff that was created in the 60s.
04:42 And today I am the one who accompanies tourists and young people to climb.
04:47 We come here to train.
04:49 [Music]
04:52 This is the work of the artist Guido Montauti, a painter from Pietracamela,
04:58 a great international artist from Pietracamela.
05:01 And this work is called "Il Pastore Bianco".
05:05 The theme he used is always this of the human presence in his works.
05:10 And here is the movement of the white shepherd, because man is always at the center of his thought,
05:16 because man in these remote places has represented the real strength of this territory.
05:23 On the Gran Sasso you can do winter and summer mountaineering, you can do high altitude trekking,
05:29 you get to the top of the Gran Sasso until 2912 meters,
05:33 but you can also do many activities that are even more suitable for families.
05:39 And this is what our municipal administration is working on a lot
05:43 to try to de-season the tourist flows,
05:46 because we want to go from a purely winter tourism,
05:50 from a summer tourism linked to the outdoor,
05:54 to a de-seasoning that can attract tourists here in different periods of the year.
06:00 Tough, hard, starting from Spoleto with the sun,
06:05 to the Clabeli, up to this wonder of the Abruzzo National Park with the cold, the snow.
06:10 Nice, nice stage. See you tomorrow, bye!
