Valle d'Aosta | Aosta Valley: Mountains And Castles | 4K Drone Video
Website:
A cinematic aerial drone video of the Valle d'Aosta (Aosta Valley) region, in Northern Italy. Featuring the Castle of Graines in Val d'Ayas, located near the village with the same name near Brusson.
It occupies the summit of a rocky spur which commands Brusson and most of the Val d'Ayas. In medieval times, it communicated through flag or mirror messages with the nearby Bonot Tower and the Villa Castle in Challand-Saint-Victor.
According to a legend a large treasure lies buried under the castle!
The fief of Graines is documented since 515, when King Sigismund of Burgundy donated it to the newly formed Abbey of St. Maurice. The castle was perhaps built in the 11th century by its monks, who built the Romanesque chapel which is still visible in the interior.
In 1263 the abbey sold the fief to Godefroi of Challant, a faithful vassal of the House of Savoy, whose family held the castle until the 18th century. The castle was a stronghold of Catherine of Challant in her struggle for the family's inheritance. When the Challant disappeared in the 19th century, the castle was bought by Passerin d'Entrèves family, who later sold it to the commune of Brusson.
The video is followed by the Shrine of the Madonna della Neve of Machaby (Madonna of the snow), which is located at a height of 696 metres, in the Machaby valley and not far from the centre of Arnad, in a splendid position among the chestnut forests.
The building, which originates from the fourteenth century, was rebuilt entirely in 1687.
Next is the Castello superiore di Arnad (Arnad's superior castle). Situated in a position dominating the village, on the side of the Machaby valley, the castle is at present in ruins.
It was probably built by the noble De Arnado family in the 13th century. In the 14th century it was the residence of the Valleise family, who invited Amadeus VI of Savoy to lunch in 1351.
The next point of interest shown is the famous Castello di Bard (Bard's castle), also know for being features as the Hydra Fortress in Marvel's Avengers.
It is situated in the historic route that controls the pass between Italy and France in the Aosta Valley (northwest of Italy).
The current Bard fortifications were built by Charles Albert of Savoy between 1830 and 1838. It replaced a 10th-century castle that had, itself, been built on an earlier structure founded by Theodoric I in the 5th century. The castle was under the control of the powerful local lords of Bard until the middle of the 13th century when ownership passed to the House of Savoy. Under their control, the defences were strengthened and improved. On May 14, 1800, a 40,000-strong French army was stopped by 400 Austro-Piedmontese soldiers at Fort Bard. They held the pass for two weeks, completely ruining Napoleon Bonaparte's plan of making a surprise attack on the Po Valley and Turin.
Lastly, the Verres Castle (Castello di Verrès) is a fortified 14th-century fortress in the lower Aosta Valley, in north-western Italy. It has been called one of the most impressive buildings from the Middle Ages in the area. Built as a military fortress by Yblet de Challant in the fourteenth century, it was one of the first examples of a castle constructed as a single structure rather than as a series of buildings enclosed in a circuit wall.
The castle stands on a rocky promonitory on the opposite side of the Dora Baltea from Issogne Castle. The castle dominates the town of Verrès and the access to the Val d'Ayas. From the outside it looks like an austere cube, thirty metres long on each side and practically free of decorative elements.

Places to see in ( Bolzano - Italy ) Piazza Walther
Places to see in ( Bolzano - Italy ) Piazza Walther
Walther square is in the centre of the old town of Bolzano. Here take place the Christmas Market and the Flower Market. Alone in December each year Walther square attracts almost a million visitors to Bolzano's Christmas market which takes place in the square, while hundreds of thousand of tourists sit at pavement cafes throughout the year to soak up the winter sun or enjoy the shade during Bolzano's hot, dry summers.
In the middle of the square is the statue of Walther von der Vogelweide (ca. 1168 - ca. 1228). Near Walther square are the Cathedral, the train station, various banks and shops and the arcades. Walther square was build in the year 1808 on a vineyard which was owned by the Bavarian royal family. King Maximilian sold it to Bolzano's town council for 3,000 florins on condition that it was made into a square.
Initially it was a large area of packed earth, around which buildings grew up, above all hotels alongside Hotel Greif (Grifone), the successor to the inn Zum Schwarzen Greif which dated back to the 16th century. They were built to cater for the elite tourists which flocked to the town, especially from the court of Vienna. By then the town was already becoming popular as a tourist destination due to its beauty, mild climate and its centre which had preserved its medieval character almost intact.
The square's most distinctive feature is the monument erected in 1889 in memory of the great poet and bard Walther von der Vogelweide. It was removed during the fascist era (1935), then returned after the Second World War. The square's name also changed several times: from Maximilian-Platz in honour of the King of Bavaria, then Johanns-Platz, then Walther-Platz, followed by King Vittorio Emanuele, Madonna and finally once again Walther von der Vogelweide.
Various armies paraded in the square: Bavarians during the Napoleonic Wars, Austro-Hungarians, Italians, Germans and the present-day army of the Italian Republic. It has been the venue for appearances by Emperor Franz Joseph, then his successor Karl I and his consort Zita, King Vittorio Emanuele III and Mussolini.
( Bolzano - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Bolzano . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Bolzano - Italy

Este castle, Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, Europe
The Castello Estense (‘Este castle’) or castello di San Michele (‘St. Michael's castle’) is a moated medieval castle in the center of Ferrara, northern Italy. It consists of a large block with four corner towers. On the outside, the castle essentially presents the appearance given to it by Girolamo da Carpi in the second half of the 16th century. Surrounded by a moat, it has three entrances with drawbridges fronted by brickwork ravelins. The fourth entrance, to the east, was sacrificed to make room for the kitchens. At the bottom, the appearance of the building still recalls a mediaeval fortress, but higher up, da Carpi replaced the battlements with elegant balconies in white stone (resting on series of corbels), making it higher again by constructing a higher storey, covered by a skew roof. The towers were improved and made more graceful with roof terraces. The courtyard, nowadays fairly austere, was frescoed. In particular, at the top were portraits of all the ancestors (real and legendary) of the Este family: the only ones surviving, considerably damaged but still discernible, have been detached and placed under the portico on the east side of the courtyard. The wells were to provide water in time of drought; the round stone balls that are seen about the place are ammunition for catapults.
Valle D'Aosta in 4K | Italy
The first inhabitants of the Aosta Valley were Celts and Ligures, whose language heritage remains in some local places. Rome conquered the region from the local Salassi around 25 BC and founded Augusta Prætoria Salassorum (modern-day Aosta) to secure the strategic mountain passes, and they went on to build bridges and roads through the mountains. Thus, the name Valle d'Aosta literally means Valley of Augustus. The Aosta Valley was the first government authority to adopt Modern French as the official language in 1536, three years before France itself. Italian and French are nowadays the region's official languages.
