Ciao dalle Marche
Very glad to read you again on my shot.
I must say that very immodestly, I know, that I agree with you: I looked for the right camera angle, also exploiting the 'natural' distortion of the camera lens, for a long time before to catch the shot... and I like what I have obtained.
I am very glad you have appreciated it, too.
Ciao from Italy and from... Le Marche (Which is the name of the land where I live)
I am very glad you like it.

The problem is that it is almost unknown not only in Europe, but in Italy too...
A lot of tourists are concentrated on the coast, on the seaside in Summer and, of course, in some places in the inland. The area where I took this picture is one of them, tough there are not so many tourists in this particular place... but it is in the meddle between the Frasassi Gorge, which is very beautiful, and the town of Fabriano, which is very suggestive. In this town there is the Museum of the Paper, which is the first one in Europe. In the Middle Age, Fabriano was the first town in Europe to make the paper: here was invented the watermark and here, even today, is made the special paper for the italian Mint which use it to make the banknotes. In the Museum you can see how the paper was made in the Middle Age: the Master Papermakers do it in front of your eyes.
The Marche Region is very popular in Germany. As I remember, we have always many tourists from your Country. In the last years, english and dutch have started to discover this wonderful region and many of them have decided to buy a country house here.
I do not know if I have answered to your question...

Do you wish that more tourists come to your region? Because I think less tourists makes a region more authentic.
No, I do not think so. In an isolated place, with few contacts with the outside, it might be true, but it is not the case of Le Marche region, not anymore. Today, with the media, the occasions of work, of study, the exchange of experiences; all of we are subjected to a massive bombardment of inputs, even without our knowledge, that could profoundly change our identity. For many ways, it is a good thing, but it may have a very high cost: the loss of the identity of a People.
In order to avoid it, the Tourism could be a very important instrument.
In these difficult times, few tourists mean do not give importance to the richness in history, art masterpieces, traditions and natural landscapes and landscape feel as a richness. The result is that this richness is in danger: we could loose it.
We could loose it in several ways:
- nobody cares about the history: buildings , objects, stories will be lost in a short time.
- nobody cares the masterpieces: nobody spends money to restore them or to conserve them in a right way.
- nobody cares the landscape: people sale land to speculators who will build ugly blocks or malls which will destroy the landscape. It is a pity, because a landscape such as of Le Marche landscape is a richness which deserves to be appreciated.
I would like to live... and that my children can live... in a place like Le Marche today, do not in a sea of grey industrial buildings, yet empty due to the competition from outside Europe that has unreachable lower labor costs.
I am convinced that Le Marche Region has a lot to give to the entire world... and it is a pity that the world loose the occasion.
