Photographer's Note

On the shores of the Nera River, to 328 m. sea level, lies the small town of Sant'Anatolia di Narco. This pleasant village, whose main resource is agriculture, is now mainly a tourist destination during the summer.
The origins of this country are not well documented, but is sure the presence of the Etruscans in pre-Roman times. Of that era are the finds of pottery and decoration, now on display at the Archaeological Museum of Florence. The current structure of the village is predominantly medieval village surrounded by walls with the fourteenth century, dominated by two towers of the fifteenth century. The thirteenth-century castle rappresesenta the heart of the medieval village. The parish church of Santa Anatolia is home to a remarkable cycle of frescoes of 1300. The end of the 500 reported by the oratory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, which as the first church has his frescoes from various periods. Near Sant'Anatolia you can visit the medieval village of Castel San Felice, with the homonymous church, a true jewel of Umbrian Romanesque. On its face, the black stone, open two windows and a rose windows. Inside the church, after all 'single aisle, opens an apse and the transept el' stand on the altar crypt, which houses a sarcophagus in the saint's relics.
