Foligno - Piccola Grande Italia
Il clima, la facile raggiungibilità, la capacità di accoglienza e le tradizioni trovano espressione nel lavoro, nelle feste e nella dimensione del sacro della città di Foligno. La centralità di Foligno le valse l’appellativo di Rosa dell’Umbria i cui petali sono costituiti dalle città limitrofe ad essa, addossate alle colline.

Bari - Italy
Bari is the capital city of the province of Bari and of the Apulia (or, in Italian, Puglia) region, on the Adriatic Sea, in Italy. It is the second most important economic centre of mainland Southern Italy after Naples, and is well known as a port and university city, as well as the city of Saint Nicholas. The city itself has a decreasing population of about 320,000, as of 2009, over 116 km², while the fast-growing urban area counts 653,028 inhabitants over 203 km². Another 500,000 people live in the metropolitan area.
Bari is made up of four different urban sections. To the north is the closely built old town on the peninsula between two modern harbours, with the splendid Basilica of Saint Nicholas, the Cathedral of San Sabino (1035--1171) and the Swabian Castle built for Frederick II, which is now also a major nightlife district. To the south is the Murat quarter (erected by Joachim Murat), the modern heart of the city, which is laid out on a rectangular grid-plan with a promenade on the sea and the major shopping district (the via Sparano and via Argiro).
Modern residential zones surround the centre of Bari, the result of chaotic development during the 1960s and 1970s replacing the old suburbs that had developed along roads splaying outwards from gates in the city walls. In addition, the outer suburbs have developed rapidly during the 1990s. The city has a redeveloped airport named after Pope John Paul II, Karol Wojtyła Airport, with connections to several European cities. ( source Wikipedia )

Driving Italy's Stelvio Pass
Definitely one of the most beautiful roads in Europe.
Not in the best driving conditions today due to the hoard of cyclists riding up from Austria, but still an amazing scenic route.

Amazing Abondoned Castles around the World
Amazing Abondoned Castles around the World
Chateau Gaillard, Normandy, France: Magnificent ruined fortresses are the focus of Kieron Connolly's latest book Abandoned Castles -- including the imposing 12th century Chateau Gaillard on the River Seine. Built on the command of Richard the Lionheart, it was viewed as impregnable until it was captured by the French in 1204. By the 16th century the chateau had become the atmospheric ruin it is today.Abandoned castles -- Dunnottar Castle, near Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, Scotland: Scotland has no shortage of dramatic castles, but Dunnottar is one of the country's most magnificent. The ruin has a romantic location on the tip of the North Sea -- plus William Wallace and Mary Queen of Scots both visited Dunnottar once upon a time. Spis Castle, Kosice, Slovakia: This Gothic-Romanesque hybrid is one of Europe's largest castle sites. The castle burnt down in the 1700s and is now one of Slovakia's most popular attractions.
Ballycarbery Castle, County Kerry, Ireland: On the edge of the North Atlantic Ocean are these stone remains of this 16th century fort. Oliver Cromwell's troops damaged the castle in 1652 -- now its walls are clad in ivy and the first floor is covered in grass. It's an interesting idea, how nature reclaims these things, says Connolly.
Chateau de Saint-Ulrich, Haut-Rhin, France: Castles are the gateway into looking into early civilization, author Kieron Connolly tells CNN Travel. Chateau de Saint-Ulrich is one of three fortresses overlooking the French town of Ribeauvillé. The chief seat of the lords of Ribeaupierre, it was abandoned in the 16th century during the Thirty Years' War.
Fort de Malamot, Savoy, France: Amid the Cottian Alps of southwestern France stands Fort de Malamot, a military fortress built in 1889 by the Italians. At an altitude of 2,850 meters (9350 feet), the mountain road to the fort is impenetrable for much of the year.
Rocca Calascio, Abruzzo, Italy: I love that you get this idea of layers of history, Connolly tells CNN Travel. You can see how it was built and then rebuilt and expanded, how the walls changed, how it passed back and forth and finally became obsolete. The highest stronghold in the Apennines is this former 10th century watchtower. Ironically it never saw a battle -- instead it was destroyed by an earthquake in the 15th century.Altenstein, Bavaria, Germany: The lords of Stein zu Altenstein lived in this magnificent spot from the early 13th century -- but when the family moved to a new palace in the 18th century, their original haunt was allowed to decay. Mortella Tower, Corsica, France: This abandoned fortress in Corsica was built to defend the Mediterranean island against North African pirates. The tower was blown up by British forces in 1796 -- but not before they swiped the design for their own uses. The tower became the model for the Martello towers built across the British Empire in the 19th century. T
Château d'Alleuze, Cantal, Auvergne, France: This French chateau was occupied by English-sympathizing Bernard de Garlan for seven years during the Hundred Years War. De Garlan wreaked havoc on the locals -- who, in revenge, later burnt down the castle in 1405. However it was rebuilt, before falling into ruin later on.
Loarre Castle, Huesca, Aragon, Spain: This Romanesque castle is a well-conserved relic from the 11th century. It was used in the Ridley Scott movie Kingdom of Heaven.Olsztyn, Silesia, Poland: Olsztyn Castle was built into the limestone crags in Poland's Jura hills by King Casimir the Great. Invaded several times over the years, in 1655 it was captured by the Swedish and later fell into disrepair.
