The charm of San Leo, an ancient hamlet in Emilia Romagna

This majestic defensive fortress can only be reached by a single road carved out of the mountain, like in prehistoric times

San Leo is an ancient hamlet is located on an enormous rocky outcropping which cannot be scaled from any side, just behind the Republic of San Marino and the Rimini Riviera, in the Marecchia Valley. Its extraordinary postion has led to its military and religious importance since its ancient origins, as it was seen as a precious and unique resource against incursions. Indeed, the majestic defensive fortress can only be reached by a single road carved out of the mountain, like in prehistoric times.

Mentioned by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy, San Leo is a popular tourist destination that is charming in every season.

Amo l'Asia in (quasi) tutte le sue sfaccettature, ecco perché cerco di trascorrerci più tempo possibile. Dopo aver lavorato per anni come ricercatrice a New Delhi e Hong Kong, per qualche anno osserverò l'Oriente dalla quella che è considerata essere la città più vivibile del mondo: Melbourne. Insegno Culture and Business Practice in Asia ad RMIT University,  Asia and the World a The University of Melbourne e mi occupo di India per il Centro Militare di Studi Strategici di Roma.
