Varese Ligure, the Italian Round Village

A stunning "circle" made of houses with very similar dimensions embedding two little squares, Piazza Fieschi and Piazza Castello

Varese Ligure is a very special tiny village in Liguria. This tiny little paradise has the power to enchant tourists with its ancient medieval roads, rural architecture, stones in chiaroscuro, artworks, churches, palaces and other small treasures that make this place so precious.

Varese Ligure is also famous for its so-called "Round Village": starting from Borgo Rotondo, the Round Village is a "circle" made of houses with very similar dimensions embedding two little squares, Piazza Fieschi and Piazza Castello, which were originally occupied by the market and whose elliptical structure was meant to have a defensive function due to identical two-floor houses built without external openings.

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.
