Ciao a tutti,
questo è un viaggio attraverso l'Italia. Posterò una foto al giorno con una brevissima descrizione. Spero vi piaccia!
Fontanellato è un piccolo borgo della provincia di Parma, nella regione settentrionale italiana dell'Emilia Romagna; la città si trova nella cosiddetta Bassa Parmense (pianura) ed è vicino ai fiumi Taro e Stirone.
Il suo nome deriva da Fontana Lata che significa grande fontana; con riferimento alle fontane, sorgenti naturali di pianura che si osservano ancora oggi nella Bassa Parmense. Tali sorgenti emergono in superficie trasportando le acque limpide che creano particolari condizioni climatiche e forniscono diversi canali tra cui il fossato che circonda la Rocca Sanvitale di Fontanellato. Una massiccia bonifica avvenne poco dopo l'anno 1000 ad opera dei monaci cistercensi della vicina abbazia di Fontevivo.
Era già abitata durante l'età del bronzo e quindi il territorio fu colonizzato dai Romani.
La Rocca è di gran lunga l'attrazione principale di Fontanellato. Situata nel centro della piazza principale, è un'enorme fortezza circondata da un fossato pieno d'acqua, eretta nel XIV secolo sui resti di un antico edificio del XII secolo. Dopo molti lavori di restauro nel corso degli anni, è stata trasformata da una fortezza difensiva nella residenza dei Conti di Sanvitale, che vi hanno vissuto per circa sei secoli. Il gioiello del castello è la "Sala di Diana e Atteone" affrescata da Francesco Mazzola, detto il Parmigianino.
Altri luoghi di interesse sono il Santuario della Beata Vergine del Rosario, costruito nel 1514, che attira numerosi pellegrini durante tutto l'anno.
Merita una visita anche l'Oratorio dell'Assunta con la sagrestia lignea del 1720 opera di Giulio Seletti e le decorazioni di Sebastiano Galeotti; le ex stalle Sanvitale; Villa Gandini e il Parco Botanico.
Nel 2004 Fontanellato ha ricevuto il titolo di slowcity, basato su indicatori quali la qualità urbana, le infrastrutture, l'ospitalità e la promozione tipica dei prodotti locali. La città ha anche ricevuto il titolo di Città d'arte e cultura e la bandiera arancione del Touring Club Italiano.
Cosa vedere: il centro storico, la Rocca Sanvitale, il Santuario della Beata Vergine del Rosario, l'Oratorio dell'Assunta, le ex scuderie Sanvitale, Villa Gandini, il Parco Botanico, la Chiesa di Santa Croce .
Hello everyone,
I began a Photo Journey through Italy. I will post one photo every day with a little note of explanation. I hope you like it!
Fontanellato is a small town in the province of Parma, in the Northern Italian region of Emilia Romagna; the town is located in the so called Bassa Parmense (flat land) and it is near the rivers Taro and Stirone.
It derives its name from Fontana lata which means big fountain; with reference to the fountains, natural springs of plains that are observed even today in the Bassa Parmense. Such sources emerge on the surface carrying the clear waters that create particular climatic conditions and supply different channels including the moat that surrounds the Rocca Sanvitale of Fontanellato.
A massive reclamation happened shortly after the year 1000 by the cistercian monks of the nearby abbey of Fontevivo.
It was already inhabited during the Bronze Age and then the territory was colonized by the Romans.
The Rocca is by far the main attraction of Fontanellato. Located in the center of the main square, it's a huge fortress surrounded by a moat full of water, erected in the 14th century on the remains of a former 12th century building. After many restoration works throughout the years, it was transformed from a defensive fortress into the house of the Sanvitale Earls, who have lived there for about six centuries. The jewel of the castle is the "Room of Diana and Actaeon" frescoed by Francesco Mazzola, the Parmigianino.
Other places of interest are the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary, built in 1514, which draws all year numerous pilgrims.
Worth also a visit the Oratory of the Assunta with the wooden sacristy of 1720 work of Giulio Seletti and decorations by Sebastiano Galeotti; the former stables Sanvitale; Villa Gandini and the Botanical Park.
In 2004 Fontanellato received the title of slowcity, based upon indicators such as urban quality, infrastructures, hospitality, and typical local product promotion. The town has also received the title of City of Art and Culture and the Orange flag of the Touring Club Italiano.
Thing to see: the Historic center, Sanvitale Fortress, the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary, the Oratory of the Assunta, the former stables Sanvitale, Villa Gandini, the Botanical Park, the Church of Santa Croce.

Ancora grandi viaggi in giro per l'Italia.
Mancano diversi episodi al raggiungimento dei 100 episodi, ma ti consiglierei di fare un episodio speciale. Magari con una cartina dell'Italia e con le varie location che hai visitato.
