Images of Rocca Calascio, Abruzzo
At 1460 m. above sea level, the Rocca was intended only to accomodate the troops. The ancient ruin has been used as the backgroung for historical movies such as Ladyhawke.
La Rocca is no longer inhabited. The doors and windows of the houses are open. The wind whistles through the rooms. A continuous monotone refrain drifts through the air in an atmosphere of solitude and mystery, mystery which grows with the presence of the ancient bastion that still presumes itself powerful, showing in some places its secret rooms in underground passages.The story of La Rocca is a timeless story. The passage of life there is signaled by the occasional sight of a marriage celebrated in the beautiful little Church of Santa Maria della Pietà, or by the presence of some tourist in search of peace and of adventure.
