Italy is a country full of wonderful beauties, places so fascinating and stunning that seem almost unreal. Places like the Castle of Rocca Calascio, an uninhabited hamlet of the namesake tiny municipality in the province of L'Aquila in Abruzzo, located more than 1400 meters above sea level on the top of a ridge at the foot of Gran Sasso.

Rocca Calascio is one of the highest and most evocative medieval fortresses all over Italy, an extraordinary location that has inevitably inspired cinema being itself a hint for the scenography of many historical films such as "The Name of the Rose" and "Ladyhawke".
