We walked east on Via Roma toward the hairpin turn that leads to the Roman bridge, and at the turn, headed up the rough track that leads to the Church of the Madonna delle Timpe. Beyond the church, the track narrows to a footpath, and hopscotches a stream humming down the valley. Walk along with me…

All this beauty on a warm fall afternoon! Don’t be afraid to get off the beaten path and enjoy a walk in the woods in Italy.
