I lived in Italy for 2 years. There are so many of these towns all over Italy. They are all very intriguing since not many tourist know about.
Italy, Spain, France, the UK... It's my plan to go to Europe in my lifetime. Until then, thanks for the videos.
Words totally fail me. This is beyond beautiful. Treasure for any History buff. Thank you so much for sharing. The thought of walking through centuries old streets with cobble stones under your feet just takes my breath away. My goodness. Thanks again.

I understand your feelings. When I go to China, it's such a sad view. They have torn down almost all their historic cities and replaced them by concrete blocks and skyscrapers. What a shame! - If you visit the Abruzzo region of Italy, have a look at Pacentro, the village from which pop star Madonna's ancestors come from. Beautiful!!! Or Lecce, in Puglia. Or Piacenza... (Andrea Palladio buildings). - Europe is a historic and architectonic treasure chest.
Such a beautiful town, unchanged by time.
Truly breathtaking. The historical significance is amazing. The picturesque cobblestone walks and winding stairwells make me just melt away into what life must have been like back then. And, to imagine living there now! Makes you want to sit at a café and sip cappuccino day dreaming of what must have been.
I had not even heard of Sermoneta before, it looks very picturesque , I like all the little side streets. Another great video!

Thanks! Yeah the first time I went there my family and I had just gone to the Garden of Ninfa but it turned out to be closed that day so we saw the castle up on the hill and thought we would go check it out. We went back again the next day for their big festival where they had a parade going through the streets and everyone was dressed in old 16th century costumes.
This is the perfect walking video. I felt like I lost 10 lbs. walking up and down all those steps. You really captured the beauty of the stone work, the merchants, restaurants in Sermoneta.The history of the castle and the walk through it was very interesting. Thanks for all your time and work making these ProWalks.

Hey thanks again Dave! Yeah all the history there kind boggles the mind. I grew up on land that my Grandma's Grandfather had purchased from a veteran of the Spanish American wars. Anyway...as a kid I would find old bottles and ink wells and my grandpa had a collection of arrow heads he had found...and to me that stuff was about as old as could be....real history. An old building right next to my house now dates back to the early 1700s. Everything is ancient over here. :)
You certainly have a good eye for beauty. Excellent camerawork and also most informative. Thank you.
Without a doubt, this town is pure fantasy. Looks like a Disney set. Thank you so much for showing it's beauty.

Yeah, it is a classic castle town. A few movies have been filmed there.
using headphones, I can almost feel the wind gusting, and the birds sounds as If I was there. Much appreciated.
Nearly everywhere you look is worth a painting! Beauty overload!
To be precise, that was not "prosciutto" (ham), but "porchetta", that is roasted pork.
Really enjoyed this..watching your links daily now as not only do I find them relaxing also enjoy the overwhelmingly beauty, history and culture. I just feel that I am actually there walking around with you..as the way you film the areas its so wonderfully done and wanted to touch the old stone buildings with my hands as you walked by them..I lose my self in all of it and I am transfixed.

Lot of rock and rubble went into the building of this place -from the roads,to the footpaths,to the narrow streets,the houses and finally to the castle!
Waiter of the century at 38:05 just slip streaming tightly through the camera man/dog and father son combo there like a absolute champ.
Such a lovely, beautiful place. I'm watching this for a little added inspiration for a castle town I'm creating in a story, and this gave me quite a few ideas on its own.

Thanks for sharing another remarkably insightful video that shows us the diversity and richness of history that Italy has to offer. Otherwise, I would not have planned Sermoneta as a visit on my tour of Italy. But Sermoneta is a veritable time capsule of unpretentiousness that belies a strength of spirit and character and resilience for what must have been an imposed desolate, fearful lifestyle of isolation. A functional fortress of rustic rugged makeshift alleys that must have in certain times become central hubs of unified community spirit. At other times it might offer a peaceful seclusion for which reason it's managed to retain it's charm for being an impenetrable fortress. I can also understand why many Italians immigrated in the post wars years as the war would have only sought to remind the inhabitants of such fortress like towns, of the misery and inhibition of personal achievement that war and insecurity imposed upon it's people. Not everywhere in Italy is like the Amalfi coast and it's prominent cities. I particularly liked your tour of the central merchant building with it's leading stairway onto a broad verandah promenade walkway that overlooks the alleys below. This gave me further insight into how the ancient Romans designed their shopping centres that must have in effect have been even more functional than ours, by offering broad external covered promenade walkways (protecting us from the Mediterranean sun with further exposure to additional shops) in addition to central malls and courtyards. Not that a medieval town could possibly compare to the magnificence of ancient classical Roman architecture, that I am obsessed with for the moment. It does indicate however, that certain building plan techniques retain their charm for functionality. Fantastic video. Thanks.

Es increíble tus vídeos la persona que no tiene la posibilidad económica de poder viajar, a través de tus vídeos lo puede hacer como que si el que camina fuera ella misma viendo los detalles de los caminos, las esculturas de las casas , como vivían que costumbres tenían... me facinan tus vídeos...cada detalle, cada explicación ( ESO sí te pido deja más tiempo tus comentarios porque no llegó a leer toda la oración a pesar que se algo de ingles) saludos desde Rosario Argentina
Thank you for a walk-through of a place I've never heard of and will never have the opportunity to visit. It seems to be built upon the tourist trade these days, as there doesn't seem to be any other way to make a living there. I often wondered where they got all the brick and stone to build the place. It must have taken an entire mountain. It's hard to imagine their making something so magnificent in the 12th century. i appreciate these kinds of walk-throughs because the 3-6 minute "tours" elsewhere leave a whole lot to be desired. Thank you for taking the time to put this together, along with the occasional bit of informative material, which gave it some life that it might not otherwise have had. What kind of camera do you use? You must have gone through a couple of batteries and sim cards. LOL I know I would have with mine.

Nice. Thanks. I would love to see a walking tour of Gravina (near Bari). Town where my grandparents were born and raised. Although it is not very big, the tourist attraction are the caves across the ravine. People actually lived in those caves years ago. My grandparents did. (born 1881).
That makes me thoughtful. Maybe as day trip from rome including Castel Gandolfo?!
From Rome to Latina roughly 1 hour 50 by train. Then you have to take a taxi (quite cheap) or bus. Bus schedule on the Comune di Sermoneta website, trasporti pubblici.
I am amazed by those beautiful complexe and « natural » city the humans race were able to build with simple tools and labor. Absolute gem of a city. God bless!

I walked 10 miles in Venice and never got lost once. :)
