Discover a tiny village on the Italian hills

The Marche region is known as one of Italy’s best kept secrets (even if this might change soon, since Lonely Planet ranked it #2 in the list of places to visit in 2020!).

Today I would like to introduce you to Sant’Angelo in Lizzola, a tiny medieval village on the rolling hills of Northern Marche that you will hardly find on travel guides, but that has lots of charme and a relaxing flair.

It is only a few kilometers from the sea, just between the towns of Pesaro and Urbino.

If I know this place it’s just because I grew up there ? but I highly advise you to stroll around its streets if you happen to be in that area. You can have a look at my Google Maps List Discover Pesaro and Surroundings

for more ideas about what to see in Northern Marche.

Hi @GaiaGemini ,

welcome here on Connect! The photos are very nice and Sant’Angelo in Lizzola looks like indeed a very beautiful village although I never been there. Marche is a beautiful region and there are many nice places to visit there.

I would like to ask if all of those photos are yours because some of them looks like not, here on Connect we encourage to post only proprietary photos (made by yourself) or, if you have rights to publish, by mentioning the source of them. If the photos are not yours and you don’t have any rights I kindly ask you to replace or remove them. You can read more on How do I follow the original content guidelines on Connect and about the program rules.

And since you are new here on Connect I leave you few starting tips: you can take a look at the 14 helpful tips for using Connect to understand how to use Connect, and this article to understand What are Connect topics. If you need any help you can always refer to our Help Desk.

Thank you for sharing with us your first post.

Hi @LuigiZ ,

Thank you for your welcome message!

Yes, all the pics are mine except from one, which is a public domain photo found on the Wikipedia page of the village. I updated the caption citing the source, as suggested on the content guidelines of Connect.

Ciao @GaiaGemini , grazie per questo post.

Il paese è splendido. Normalmente la mia frequentazione della tua regione è spostata leggermente più a sud, tra Visso e CastelSantangelo sul Nera, per poi attraversare su Castelluccio, e recarmi a Norcia. Questi sono i luoghi in cui la community lavora moltissimo dopo il terremoto.

Se ti interessa, il 26 giugno @manulele81 organizza il meet-up Fioritura a Castelluccio . Ti Va?

Per quanto riguarda le regole della community sul copyright, la citazione va fatta “se hai il permesso per condividere la foto”. Altrimenti no. Cito: “Only share photos you have taken yourself or received permission to use directly from the copyright owner. Do not download and post photos from Google Search, Google Maps, social media, stock photo websites, or elsewhere on the internet without receiving permission from the owner of that photo.”

Ciao @ErmesT !

I Sibillini sono uno dei posti più affascinanti delle Marche! Non ci torno da molti anni, e mi piacerebbe davvero poter partecipare al meet-up a Castelluccio, ma abitando a Parigi non sarà facile organizzarmi.

E grazie per la precisazione sulle regole sulla condivisione delle foto, provvedo a sostituire la foto senza copyright con una delle mie.

Connecting people is the most beautiful aspect of the Community @SovitaD , @GaiaGemini , @Mariez25

So I really hope you ladies will be able to meet. I can’t wait to see a post and some photo.

It seems you are meeting only Italians in Paris, Sovita. Funny, isn’t it?

Ciao @GaiaGemini ,

Grazie per questo interessante post che ci ricorda una delle regioni più belle d’Italia. Hai fatto foto molto belle, specialmente il tramonto e la foto con la bambina, che con quella tonalità quasi seppia, sembra una foto degli anni settanta.

Se sei una fotoamatrice, troverai molti suggerimenti utili nella apposita sezione Fotografie, per esempio su come scattare in condizioni di bassa luminosità: How to take great photos in low light.
