Time for another little Guess Where in Italy? challenge, as I have not run one for a while. Seeing as summer is just about upon us, and some will be looking for a little vacation inspiration, here’s a picture which might just inspire you to come to Italy this summer.
Italy is absolutely brimming with curious little backwaters, and this is but one enchanting boondocks burg.
Please can any passing Italians wait for two days or so before saying where this is. The answer is bound to be easy for Italians “in the know”. Many thanks.
Can You Guess Where this is in Italy?
I’d like the name of the place, and the Italian region in which it can be found. If you would like to know about the latest “guesses”, then why not could subscribe to this RSS feed which will keep you up-to-date: Guess Where in Italy Part 12 Comments
Guess Where This Timeless Place is in Italy
I guess the name of the photographer might conceivably give the game away.
By the way, many thanks to romance and fantasy author, and Italophile, Denyse Bridger for having kindly provided me with the photograph, and for having obtained permission for it to be used on BlogfromItaly.com.
I don’t think Denyse has managed to make it to Italy, just yet – but I know from our conversations on Twitter that she admires Italy greatly from afar. Denyse is @DenyseBridger on Twitter, for those who might like to follow her.
I do hope Denyse will be able to come here one day. With a little luck, she will.
Note that this mini-quiz is purely for fun – there are no prizes or anything.

The answer will be given on Thursday – if nobody has managed to guess by then.
Happy guessing!

Alex: Thank you for your post.
I’m guessing that this edifice is in Palermo or thereabouts in Sicily. I’m saying this because Vincenzo Chiofolo’s Facebook profile pic is a badge for the city of Palermo. I worked on the only clue I could find. I’m looking forward to finding out if I’m right.
Hi Mary Anne,
Sorry, but it is not near Palmero, nor is it in Sicily. Vincenzo Chiofolo’s Facebook page has turned out to be a red herring!
Keep guessing!
Thanks for trying.
Best,
Alex
Turin, maybe?
Hi Areana,
No, not Turin.
Try again.
Best,
Alex
It’s so forested and green it looks like Umbria(le Marche and adjacent areas, but really, I could shoot a photo like that in a bunch of different places around here. Citerna, for example.
Your getting warm, Judith. Not Umbria though!
Best,
Alex
I was IN Calcata just 4 weeks ago. I think I said, “This looks like Umbria!”
PS/ everywhere looks like West Virginia to me, as well. And I bought a farm there because it reminded me of Maine.
PPS/ I have photos of Italian rocks and/or trees. Let me know if you’ve a need.
Hi Alex,
Is it the Ememo delle Carceri in Assisi, in the province of Perugia? I think that Judith was right when she said the Umbria region …
Nora
Hi Nora,
Sorry, it’s not Ememo delle Carceri! Don’t know what that is, but will look.
And it’s not in Umbria! Not too far away though
Best,
Alex
You’re having too much fun with this one, Alex….
OK, I admit it, Denyse. I am enjoying this!
I shall dish out a few clues, maybe!
Kind regards,
Alex
I was in Calcata a few years ago, and the buildings in this photo remind me of the type in Calcata, which is in Viterbo, Latium. If this is it, it was very charming and amazing, perched on the side of a cliff.
Round of applause to you, Cathy!
It is indeed Calcata near Viterbo in Latium! And it does look charming too. One of Italy’s many charming, enchanting places.
Well done! I’m impressed.
Best regards,
Alex
PS Next time I’m going to post a photo of a rock. I though this one was challenging!
