In the green hills of Montefeltro, on the border with that territory that once was governed by the Malatesta of Rimini, you will find landscapes that inspired Renessaince painters like Piero Della Francesca, Raffaello and Leonardo da Vinci.
One landscape, in particular, caught my attention: it stretches on the tops and the chalk cliffs of the Valmarecchia Valley. We are in the little Medieval town of Petrella Guidi, not far away from Sant’Agata Feltria, a place of reflection and creative idleness.
Here, at the foot of the remains of an ancient Castle tower, you will be left astounded by the breathtaking landscape, the same Piero Della Francesca painted in his well-known artwork The Baptism of Christ (London, National Gallery).
