Введение New found stories of Sant'Angelo in Lizzola

It's not difficult to tell about Sant'Angelo in Lizzola because the town itself is lively, rich in history, inhabited by welcoming people proud of their roots, full of small and large stories that still echo between old and new streets, where generations meet every day.

It's difficult to do it in such a way to clearly show how here the big stories intertwine with the small stories, how much the collective memory is made up of fragments, sometimes translated in an ironic and other nostalgic way, a memory  that is alive but endangered of being lost.

The walkscape intends to mend that fragmented plot and bring the curious ones to look at the places in the country through the eyes of the protagonists, to underline how the life of the country has always been characterized by men of genius but also by pranksters, scholars and hard workers but also by eccentric personalities, from men of power but also from rebels, in the distant past as well as in recent times.

And it was precisely on this line that Don Giovanni Gabucci, pronounced Don Johan, had already written a real guided tour of the town, describing large and small facts, important men and ordinary people. The "The rediscovered stories" walkscape has changed the order of the itinerary but wanted to develop its setting, shifting the attention from places to people, from things to protagonists, especially those of the less official story; and just as at each stop Don Gvan glanced beyond the walls at the surrounding landscape, so now we underline that it is precisely there that we can read the major transformations and that therefore the landscape can be read as a great portrait of the town.

The heritage of drawings and photos tells us that Sant'Angelo was and is a castle set in a landscape and that its history lies inside and outside the walls up to the contours of the surrounding hills, and fields.
