Caio!
We have been going to many places in the region
such as Aquelia and Castello di Spessa. Today I’ll take some time to talk about
both these historic places and what I liked about each one.It’s incredible to see how well preserved these ancient sights are.
Aquelia is a historic roman city, and at its height Aquelia was said to be the 10th largest city in the world. Professor Michael
Seaman teaches seems to know just about everything
there is to know about the history of Italy. He showed us the historic churches in
Aquileia and how well preserved the mosaics are.
Two days later we traveled to Castello di Spessa up in wine
country. The castles in Italy were all built up high on the hills so that they
had the advantage over their enemies, so the view from the castle was amazing.
This castle is well known not only for its incredible wine and scenery but for
hosting the historic Casanova. Cassanova tasted the
wine from this castle and loved it so much he stayed for many years afterward.
That’s all for now, thank you to Professor Seaman for the
wonderful tour of these amazing historic sights and to the city of Grado for
continuing to welcome us Americans.
Caio!
