We get a glimpse of some of the amazing frescoes in this part of Italy.

The segment features the 13th century Roncolo Castle, where frescoes give precious insights into the life of the nobility in the Medieval period. The footage of the Valley of the Lakes is also spectacularly beautiful.

Buonconsiglio Castle in Beseno is the highlight of this segment. The castle boasts a frescoed cycle with scenes from the everyday life of farmers and nobles, circa 1400.

The final segment on the Alto Adige features the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The series will continue with other Italian regions.

There are so many beautiful spots in Italy. Umbria is next on our list!

The 2016 opening ceremony of Salerno's Luci d'Artista, which in the captions is literally translated as Artists' Lights, but which is billed by the city as Salerno Christmas Lights. The ceremony mostly takes place in the Villa Comunale, Salerno's public garden.

Giuseppe Pitrè was an ethnologist who collected documents pertaining to Sicily and its culture and traditions. His work is the basis for this documentary, which unites live footage, drawings, and archival documents.

This segment shows us the Abbey of Saints Felix and Maurus as well as Norcia, the birthplace of Saint Benedict. Little remains of the cathedral after the earthquake in 2016. Here are some photos of what has remained.

We're still in the area of the Nera river valley, and there are plenty more beautiful sights to see.

The Abbey of Saint Eutizio is featured in this segment. It was largely destroyed in the earthquake of October 31, 2016. Its reconstruction is in the planning stage.

We learn about Pitrè's life, and his relationship to the sea.

Cascia and Visso are explored in this segment. The narrator makes the point that Umbria is the land of saints, naming: Saints Francis, Clare, Benedict, and Rita.

In this segment, we see some swordfish harpoon fishing, and hear an old Sicilian legend about a boy named Nicola who could stay underwater for a very long time.

The series on Umbria ends with amazing landscape shots of Castelluccio, including fields of poppies, cornflowers, and lentil flowers. Castelluccio's lentils are justly renowned.

Pitrè's life was marked by a sort of travelling storyteller tradition in his family. In those days, a cuntastorie (storyteller) would go around to all the piazzas and tell stories, and people would pay to hear them.
