to rex We liked orvinio so much we bought a house and 1.5 hectare. If you visit again in the summer ask at the summer bar for andy and stella

Calitri in the Avellino region of Campania (Southern Italy) - I also love Nusco and Melfi that are nearby.

(note: I'm totally partial though - that's where we have a home.)

You bought a house there? Wow. Can I come stay for a few days? Does the "count" still own the castle? Do you think he would ever sell?

I'll see if I can come up with the money... you want to go in 50-50 with me for your part in helping keep an eye on the place?

:)

alas...Calitri Castle is now a museum :-( so I doubt they'd take our offer to buy :-( no count either...although still a local "Baron" and "Baroness" :-)

oh... sorry... i was addressing my comments/question(s) to "rieti" - - regarding the "Castello" di Orvinio!

Hands down, I agree with Rex.

Bassano del Grappa in Italia...Unreal! The real deal in Italy.

cal

Rex-ah! well..in that case...I could be tempted ;-)

p.s. love Bassano del Grappa as well...I was a student in Padova a few years back ;-

Raising to the top.
