Rocca Sinibalda

Inspired by the marvellous image of Paola Bottoni

I visited the very small commune of Rocca Sinibalda. My light conditions in late October were much less favorable than those encountered by Paola but I was still fascinated by the extremely photogenic edifice and the surrounding countryside.

This fortress was originally built in the 11th century and was transformed into a comfortable fortified palace five centuries later.

Thorough excellent restoration work, completed in spring 2014, was carried out during the last seven years.
