Brisighella, Italy, May 2020 015
Brisighella is a typical Italian borgo near Ravenna (the Italian city of byzantine mosaics). This place has deep roots in farming, so that its main highlight is a unique walkway called “Via degli asini” (i.e. The Donkeys’ Alley). Some kind of street, perched high above the ground level, where merchants used to ride donkey to carry their goods.
Built by the end of 300 d.C., at first it was a defensive alley to check the enemies’ movements. Then it become a protected and covered street for trades. Strolling along the way, you can still notice the ancient stables for the donkeys. But nowadays it is a very nice trekking trails to get a great point of view on the whole borgo.
