&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Adagiato su una radura tra i dolci e boscosi pendii della penisola dell'Olgiasca, il complesso abbaziale di Piona vanta una storia di oltre di oltre quattordici secoli, sebbene della sua genesi non rimangono che alcuni ruderi afferenti alla chiesa originaria di Santa Giustina posta dietro l'abside della costruzione successiva.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Resti della Chiesa di S. Giustina&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Passeranno infatti alcuni secoli (XI-XII secolo) , prima che il complesso monastico cluniacense assumesse le fattezze oggi mirabili.&lt;br /&gt;
Già nel XV secolo però il monastero era ormai in totale declino e talmente oberato dai debiti da essere &amp;nbsp;affidato&lt;i&gt; in commendam&lt;/i&gt; a varie famiglie che ne godettero, più o meno, per i successivi tre secoli, sino a quando l'ultima famiglia quella dei Rocca, nel 1936 restituì il monastero ai cistercensi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UuogNf6lDXc/T4A4AYB2d5I/AAAAAAAAA8Y/rCPsQeMmTII/s1600/IMG_8169.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UuogNf6lDXc/T4A4AYB2d5I/AAAAAAAAA8Y/rCPsQeMmTII/s400/IMG_8169.JPG" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
La chiesa, molto semplice, presenta una facciata ingentilita da un portale di bronzo di recente fattura (fine XX sec.) sovrastato da una monofora e in al vertice da un apertura a forma di croce.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Evidente la diversa tipologia di materiale utilizzato che si riscontra anche nelle mura laterali ove a sinistra si erge il campanile&amp;nbsp;quadrangolare e nell'abside&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Le mura laterali sono appena&amp;nbsp;alleggerite&amp;nbsp;da una serie di monofore e da arcatelle che seguono parallele la linea del tetto.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
L'abside infine, semicircolare con volte a botte all'esterno è abbellito da 3 monofore che all'interno però deturpano l'affresco (non ho potuto fotografare l'interno per via della funzione religiosa).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
L'intero complesso della chiesa può definirsi austero;&amp;nbsp;si notano su di esso diverse fasi costruttive, sia nell'impiego dei materiali che nella finezza della manodopera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Di pregevole fattura risulta il chiostro, come consuetudine di forma quadrangolare in virtù della fortuna numerologica che il numero quattro ebbe nella cristianità (persino i vangeli canonici furono determinati in quel numero&amp;nbsp;perché&amp;nbsp;quattro erano glia angoli della terra, quattro i venti, le quattro stagioni, ecc).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jhOYUeWrvmA/T4A35WbAvUI/AAAAAAAAA7c/v9zvmzC6G2M/s1600/hdr2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jhOYUeWrvmA/T4A35WbAvUI/AAAAAAAAA7c/v9zvmzC6G2M/s640/hdr2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Costruito a metà del XIII secolo rappresenta un bel esempio di romanico lombardo.&lt;br /&gt;
Il Chiostro è caratterizzato da 4 lati diseguali con 11 colonne sul lato Ovest, 10 su quello &amp;nbsp;Nord, 12 a Est e 8 a Sud su cui spiccano capitelli impreziosite da tipiche rappresentazioni dell'arte romanica (mostri, animali, foglie, teste umane, ecc).&lt;br /&gt;
Alcuni affreschi abbelliscono e mura del chiostro; qui sotto alcuni particolari del Battista che tiene in mano la propria testa decapitata e la dona, probabilmente, a se stesso, e uno rappresentante S. Benedetto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;S.Giovanni Battista&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;S. Benedetto&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All'interno del giardino del chiostro spicca l'albero ai cui piedi vi è una fontana (di recente fattura)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Dietro la chiesa si sviluppano i terreni&amp;nbsp;adibiti&amp;nbsp;a ordinati frutteti mentre un sentiero dal fianco scende verso il Lario.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Dallo spiazzo si possono ammirare le meravigliose sponde del lago e le creste innevate delle Alpi che in esso si specchiano.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;
Poi mentre il sole volge al tramonto, l'atmosfera si riempie di meraviglia...&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;"Ogni anno, in una notte di luna, la regina e Lujanta fanno in barca il giro del lago di Braies, uscendo dalla porta di roccia che ha dato il nome ladino (Sass dla Porta) alla Croda del Becco. Esse attendono che il nipote della regina ritorni con le frecce infallibili. Ma questi non arriva mai. E un giorno scocca la “grande ora”: dai monti risuonano le trombe d’argento. Ma non c’è nessuno a rispondere al loro appello. La regina le ascolta per l’ultima volta, poi scende a dormire per sempre sul fondo del lago. Ma un giorno arriverà il “tempo promesso” in cui tutti risorgeranno per vivere in pace".
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Il lago di Braies impreziosisce con le sue acque cristalline l'omonima valle, laterale alla più nota Val Pusteria. Il lago, di origine franosa, &amp;nbsp;giace a 1496 m.s.l.m. ai piedi dell'imponente vetta della Croda del Becco (così chiamata per i numerosi stambecchi che prosperano sule sue pendici e rientra nel territorio del Parco del Fanes, Sennes e Braies.&lt;br /&gt;

Come tutti i luoghi facenti parte di&amp;nbsp;questo&amp;nbsp;territorio, anche il lago di Braies fa da sfondo alle saghe dei Fanes, l'antico popolo che dominava, in epoche leggendarie, i territori ladini. Qui di seguito un breve sunto del mito, e mi perdonerà il lettore se troverà troppo frettoloso e dunque incompleto il racconto:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tutto accadde nei tempi che furono, rimasti oramai solo nella memoria che si cela dietro le leggende, quando l'ultimo Re dei Fanes cadde vittima della sua ambizione.&lt;br /&gt;Si narra come costui volle tradire l'antico patto di alleanza che legava i Fanes al fedele popolo delle Marmotte, in favore di una nuova alleanza con quello delle superbe Aquile. Quando tuttavia venne il momento di&amp;nbsp;suggellare&amp;nbsp;il patto con le Aquile, la Regina &amp;nbsp;sua moglie confermò di nascosto il patto con le Marmotte affidando loro sua figlia Lujanta in cambio di una marmotta. Quindi prese la marmotta e la nascose in un fagotto e la inviò insieme alla gemella di Lujanta, Dolasilla dalle perfide Aquile. Il patto, come si può ben immaginare venne rifiutato. Sulla strada del ritorno, il servo che accompagnava le due gemelle (Dolasilla e la marmotta per dir il vero) incontrò un malefico stregone chiamato Spina dal Mul che cercò di rapire Dolasilla (giacché Lujanta in realtà era tra le Marmotte). Fu solo grazie al prode eroe Ey de Net che la giovane e il servo ebbero salva la vita.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-snqpuwcBwZU/T3XC1pihPjI/AAAAAAAAAuQ/q3yczk1L2VU/s1600/02%25252520Lago%25252520di%25252520Braies%2525252000087.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-snqpuwcBwZU/T3XC1pihPjI/AAAAAAAAAuQ/q3yczk1L2VU/s640/02%25252520Lago%25252520di%25252520Braies%2525252000087.JPG" width="425" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Passarono gli anni e Dolasilla crebbe in forze e beltà e grazie alla sua saggezza e alla sua pietà venne in possesso di magici oggetti tra cui frecce infallibili e una portentosa pelliccia che le faceva d'armatura. &amp;nbsp;Quest'ultima, gli fu predetto, avrebbe cambiato colore qualora la battaglia si sarebbe rivelata mortale.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dolasilla, spinta dall'ambizione paterna, divento una prode ed invincibile guerriera, e al suo fianco c'era sempre Ey de Net a proteggerla. Insieme conquistarono valli e montagne per la gloria del Re, fino a che Ey de Net, innamoratosi della bella fanciulla ne chiede la mano.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;L'avidità del Re aveva però ormai spinto il sovrano nei meandri della follia, ed anzichè benedire l'unione dei due giovani, bandì Ey de Net dal Regno, convinto che la fanciulla avrebbe esitato in battaglia se maritata e avrebbe così privato l'esercito del suo genio e delle sue portentose armi. Il desiderio di conquistare la ricca Valle Auronia, dove si diceva la terra era sostenuta da vene d'oro purissimo, aveva preso sopravvento su quel poco di amore che anche il peggiore dei padri nutre per la prole e nel Re soppianto anche la&amp;nbsp;fedeltà&amp;nbsp;che i sovrani debbono al proprio popolo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fu così che il Re&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;si alleò con i ribelli guidati dal perfido stregone Spina de Mul, vendendo il regno per l'oro della Valle Auronia. I ribelli invasero le terre dei Fanes al punto che Dolasilla ascoltando le grida del suo popolo decise di scendere in battaglia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ciò nonostante non si perse d'animo e scese nella piana della battaglia. Ivi trovo tredici fanciulli che le chiesero le magiche frecce per poter affrontare il nemico, ma essi altri non erano che un sortilegio dello stregone della montagna, che avuti gli infallibili dardi li lancio verso la sventurata trafiggendole il cuore e spacciandola, poco prima che l'amato principe Ey de Net, avvertito in sogno, &amp;nbsp;potesse prestarle soccorso. Poi, non ancora sazio, il malvagio Stregone andò dal Re sciagurato e sulla vetta del monte Lagazuoi tramuto il fedifrago in pietra.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nel Frattempo l'esercito dei Fanes era in rotta&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;e la Regina al colmo della disperazione chiese alle Marmotte l'adempimento dell'antica alleanza. Fu così che le creature inviarono Lujanta che scambiata per la famosa sorella ritemprò i cuori dei Fanes riuscendo ad aprirsi un varco e a nascondere il popolo presso il regno sotterraneo delle Marmotte.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Da quei tempi remoti, ogni ciclo del sole, in una magica notte di plenilunio, dal cancello celato sotto le acque smeraldine del lago fuoriescono la Regina e la figlia Lujanta, navigando nelle acque chete su di una pallida barca, e così sarà, fino a che si compiranno i tempi e i Fanes potranno essere liberati dal triste esilio e usciti dall'oblio, godere di nuova prosperità e imperitura pace.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Lasciandoci alle spalle il profumo delle leggende, o meglio ancora, portandolo seco, si può affermare che il lago di Braies è luogo facilmente raggiungibile e soprattutto visitabile da chiunque. I sentieri sono infatti molto larghi e pianeggianti, specie sul lato Ovest e Sud, così non è raro vedere famigliole con il passeggino che costeggiano il lago fino a raggiungere i verdi prati ombreggiati ai margini da larici e abeti ove è consuetudine fermarsi per il picnic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9tqMkhRo-78/T3XDSf_burI/AAAAAAAAAvs/Qj1mOuw9tMQ/s1600/02%25252520Lago%25252520di%25252520Braies%2525252000065.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9tqMkhRo-78/T3XDSf_burI/AAAAAAAAAvs/Qj1mOuw9tMQ/s640/02%25252520Lago%25252520di%25252520Braies%2525252000065.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Meno accessibile il lato della montagna, a Est, dove il sentiero si inerpica lungo le pendici scoscese, spesso tramutandosi in scalinate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-diwPB9Nc-oI/T3XCOoRmNqI/AAAAAAAAAso/UJsEaToCnUA/s1600/02%25252520Lago%25252520di%25252520Braies%2525252000011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-diwPB9Nc-oI/T3XCOoRmNqI/AAAAAAAAAso/UJsEaToCnUA/s640/02%25252520Lago%25252520di%25252520Braies%2525252000011.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Nessun timore, sono comunque sentieri alla portata di chiunque (magari non alle famigliole con passeggino!) abbia un minimo di allenamento. Inoltre, i tratti ove il sentiero si espone lungo le suddette pendici, è stato sapientemente protetto da staccionate che creano balconcini da cui si può ammirare dall'alto la cristallina bellezza di questo lago di meraviglie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8555358663027401232-340770868290305612?l=theyesofbeholder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theyesofbeholder.blogspot.com/feeds/340770868290305612/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8555358663027401232&amp;postID=340770868290305612&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8555358663027401232/posts/default/340770868290305612?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8555358663027401232/posts/default/340770868290305612?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theyesofbeholder.blogspot.com/2012/04/sui-sentieri-dei-fanes-il-lago-di.html' title='Sui sentieri dei Fanes: Il Lago di Braies'/><author><name>L.G.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03133181505713227055</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LYS-vmN_uTo/Sfhmy-0cfDI/AAAAAAAAAAM/62gU2zawJmo/S220/Luca%2BG..jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kM5XAQgM6Jo/T3XCCBCYpbI/AAAAAAAAAsA/GxkOApo1L34/s72-c/02%25252520Lago%25252520di%25252520Braies%2525252000001.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Frazione San Vito, 27, 39030 Braies BZ, Italia</georss:featurename><georss:point>46.6946966 12.0854459</georss:point><georss:box>46.6892511 12.0755754 46.7001421 12.0953164</georss:box></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;C0YDQ3k4fip7ImA9WhVQE0U.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555358663027401232.post-3987630066536942584</id><published>2012-04-02T10:52:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2012-04-02T17:39:32.736+02:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2012-04-02T17:39:32.736+02:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lombardia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fotografia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Storia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Monasteri'/><title>Monastero di Torba</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div align="justify"&gt;
Immerso in una conca tra i boschi del Varesotto, il complesso monumentale di Torba è testimone di una vicenda più che millenaria. Avamposto militare del tardo impero romano, poi in mano ai Goti e ai Longobardi (con torre e cinta difensiva del secolo V e VI), Torba fu quindi pio luogo di preghiera e di lavoro di religiose benedettine (con chiesa dei secoli VIII-XIII e sede monastica). Abbandonato dalle monache nel 1453, fu successivamente adibito a cascina rurale. Nella torre sono conservati rari e importanti affreschi della fine dell'VIII secolo.&lt;br /&gt;

La piccola chiesa del monastero è attribuibile prevalentemente al secolo XI, ad eccezione della cripta dell'VIII secolo e della parte absidale che, con il vivace motivo che alterna fasce di ciottoloni e mattoni e la raffinata teoria di archetti pensili, è pienamente ascrivibile al XIII secolo.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'interno della chiesa, ad aula unica, con la copertura a capriate lignee e le pareti intonacate, ha conservato, grazie anche ad un attento restauro, tutta l'originaria semplicità di una struttura povera, medievale, monastica.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Il corpo edilizio che ospitava le celle delle religiose e le sale di riunione si alza, verso corte, per due piani e, verso valle, per tre, comprendendo il seminterrato. Verso corte si apre nella muratura un portico a tre arcate, tamponato in epoca contadina per ricavarvi nuovi locali di residenza e recuperato dai restauri del 1977. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Il torrione del V-VI secolo è un esempio di architettura militare di importanza non comune. I contrafforti e le murature si assottigliano salendo e traducono in forme architettoniche il diminuire degli sforzi sopportati dalle strutture. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Nella zona inferiore le aperture sono a feritoia, al secondo piano si aprono invece belle finestre a fungo (cioè con arcata di base più larga della luce della finestra). Superiormente una fascia decorativa in cotto segna l'originale altezza della torre, prima che si costruisse il sopralzo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;






&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Affreschi del primo piano&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Il primo piano della torre era adibito a sepolcreto. Negli sguinci delle finestre si conservano tracce di figure ad affresco. Aliberga, monaca dal nome longobardo, è la protagonista dello sguincio destro: era affiancata da una consorella, di cui restano però solo tracce delle mani, e sovrastata da un vescovo di cui resta la sola veste.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;Al nome citato, tracciato in ocra giallo, è stato poi sovrapposto, in bianco, il nome Casta. I caratteri stilistici fanno riferimento all’VIII secolo, come è confermato anche dal carattere di alcune scritte rilevate da Carlo Bertelli.&lt;/div&gt;

Una fenditura del muro, che lasciava passare l'acqua piovana, ha dilavato i tratti del loro viso, eseguito evidentemente con materiale composto di calce, quindi meno resistente. Solo le due figure all'estremità destra conservano i tratti fisionomici.&amp;nbsp;Quanto resta della raffigurazione delle monache è però arricchito dal raffinato, agile movimento delle mani.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
In periodo medioevale, in mano Guelfa fu teatro di sanguinosi scontri con la controparte Ghibellina ed è di quel periodo che si fa risalire la leggenda del fantasma del Castello, altrove riportata. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dai Fulgosio, la rocca passò di mano ai Farnese, i quali la cedettero in vassallaggio a Marcantonio Anguissola che divenne quindi Conte, nel 1599. Con l'estinzione del ramo della famiglia Anguissola, nel 1848, il Castello viene messo in vendita e subisce un periodo di forte decadenza, divenendo di fatto un edificio rurale. Nel 1869 Il Conte Ludovico Marazzani Visconti Terzi acquista finalmente il maniero e inizia un opera di restauro di chiaro gusto romantico. Nel '900 la proprietà passa di mano varie volte, con alterne fortune e restauri di dubbio gusto, come gli affreschi araldici che incorniciano il salone del castello, fino a giungere agli odierni proprietari che l'arricchiscono con un bel museo di antichi strumenti musicali. &lt;br /&gt;

L’accesso al castello era possibile solo attraverso i due ponti levatoi, uno “carrabile”( tutt’oggi funzionante), che veniva abbassato soltanto per il passaggio di uomini a cavallo o carriaggi militari, ed uno pedonale.&lt;a href="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pxGYh9rDs-iza99D7a4851MdCJO32amraeSQFdOfomWdspeXJdBFsbus4P_A8_u8v?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Il cortile centrale è uno dei luoghi più suggestivi e interessanti della costruzione sebbene sia quello più rimaneggiato; proprio da qui è possibile comprendere la logica difensiva dell’antica fortezza medioevale, dominata dalla possente mole centrale del mastio, costruito su una massa rocciosa che si sopraeleva di una decina di metri dal piano del cortile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="justify"&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Balconcino Particolare&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Il cortile presenta una forma irregolare vagamente triangolare, che è sostanzialmente la forma dello sperone roccioso, appena adattata alle esigenze costruttive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Agli interventi neogotici si deve l’assetto evidentemente scenografico della facciata con l’intonaco a strisce ed il balconcino, chiaramente allusivo alla famosa scena di “Giulietta e Romeo” tanto cara appunto al romanticismo neogotico.&lt;/div&gt;

Dal terrazzo alla sommità del mastio lo sguardo può spaziare, in direzione nord-ovest, fino alle Prealpi venete; Si può osservare inoltre dall’altro lato del dirupo un roccione tronco-conico (curiosamente denominato nella tradizione locale la "tomba di Garibaldi") che è stato riconosciuto, in base a certe caratteristiche ed alle analogie con strutture similari, come luogo di culto di antiche popolazioni di razza celtica.&lt;br /&gt;

Tra gli ambienti interni, particolarmente interessanti una sala da pranzo risalente all’epoca di Marcantonio Anguissola (fine cinquecento), che conserva elementi architettonico-decorativi tra i più significativi del periodo, come il monumentale camino, con ricche decorazioni a stucco di ispirazione mitologica, e la camera detta “camera dell’alcova” per la sua funzione nel XVIII secolo.&lt;/div&gt;

L’ambiente, costituito da una galleria con soffitto a volta, presenta attualmente struttura architettonica e decorazioni risalenti alla metà del ‘700 in cosiddetto stile “rococò”.&lt;br /&gt;

L’arco che introduce all’alcova presenta al centro lo stemma degli Anguissola di Gropparello.&lt;br /&gt;

Il Fantasma di Gropparello &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div align="justify"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="justify"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_LMDRN7J0ZO0/SeSYisHTdCI/AAAAAAAAAZo/GNbqJXX-_cA/s1600-h/fantasma_thumb%5B5%5D%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img align="left" alt="fantasma_thumb[5]" border="0" height="284" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_LMDRN7J0ZO0/SeSYjJYMvsI/AAAAAAAAAZs/5e1LJnYOYNc/fantasma_thumb%5B5%5D_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline; margin: 10px 15px 10px 0px;" title="fantasma_thumb[5]" width="192" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Il castello di Gropparello, come ogni castello che si rispetti (e per chi ci crede), è infestato da un fantasma. Nella fattispecie, si aggira per le mura e finanche nel borgo lo spirito della sventurata Rosania Fulgosio. Caliamoci nelle guerre tra Guelfi e Ghibellini, alla fine del XIII secolo, quando Pietrone da Cagnano, proprietario del castello e marito della bella Rosania, è impegnato per non si sa bene quale missione. Approfittando della sua assenza Lancillotto Anguissola, avversario del Pitrone e vecchio amore di Rosania decide di assalire la roccaforte. Grazie all'astuzia e alla forza delle sue milizie Lancillotto, riesce nell'ardua impresa di conquistare le mura al che la dama, ignara dell'identità del condottiero nemico, si getta ai suoi piedi implorando pietà per gli abitanti. I due si riconoscono, e Lancillotto decide di assecondare la castellana: l'amore ridestato è più forte dell'avidità del vincitore, e anche della morale, sicché Rosania, ardente concede al condottiero le sue grazie. Lancillotto Anguissola è però costretto a ripiegare e ad abbandonare il castello e Pietrone può così rientrare indisturbato. Messo a conoscenza del tradimento della moglie dalla fedele fantesca Verzuvia il signorotto medita un'orrenda vendetta. Dapprima fa scavare la roccia ai piedi del Mastio, con la scusa di creare un nascondiglio sicuro, poi addormentata la moglie con del vino drogato la rinchiude nell'antro e la mura viva. La morte violenta pare abbia legato lo spirito della fanciulla al paese; essa si manifesta come una giovane donna dalla corporatura piuttosto minuta, con i capelli raccolti da un velo e vestita di una lunga veste bianca. Talvolta aleggia diafana, talvolta si manifesta gemente e urlante. Pare che la piccola Cappelletta ricavata al piano inferiore del mastio sia stata allestita dai proprietari proprio per calmare l'anima inquieta e donarle il sospirato riposo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Preciso sin da subito che questa non vuol essere una guida, ma un piccolo sunto delle sensazioni e dei luoghi visitati nella breve vacanza presso il Parco.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Il Parco si divide in quattro zone distinte da caratteristiche peculiari, il versante "fiorito", quello "sacro", quello "storico" e infine quello "magico".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xcHUoE_v7mc/T3VvhHn94MI/AAAAAAAAAqE/Crip4J_eOAU/s1600/0000000009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xcHUoE_v7mc/T3VvhHn94MI/AAAAAAAAAqE/Crip4J_eOAU/s640/0000000009.jpg" width="427" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Montemonaco&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Principalmente abbiamo visitato il versante "magico" non fosse altro perché abbiamo alloggiato in un Albergo a Montegallo che, insieme a Montemonaco, Montefortino, Arquata del Tronto e Amandola, fa parte dei comuni di questo, per cosi dire, &amp;nbsp;comprensorio.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Già in albergo (&lt;a href="http://www.tripadvisor.it/Hotel_Review-g2002511-d2058709-Reviews-Albergo_Vettore_di_Fauser_srl-Montegallo_Province_of_Ascoli_Piceno_Marche.html"&gt;Hotel Vettore&lt;/a&gt;) abbiamo potuto assaporare la genuina semplicità degli abitanti locali, grazie ad un'accoglienza ottima e, direi, "appassionata" che abbiamo poi potuto constatare nelle varie strutture recettive del parco.&lt;span id="goog_51663062"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_51663063"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KmxdYoOAp08/T3VvUYo8v3I/AAAAAAAAAp0/EySdfIxZLnQ/s1600/0000000010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="462" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KmxdYoOAp08/T3VvUYo8v3I/AAAAAAAAAp0/EySdfIxZLnQ/s640/0000000010.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Foce&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Giunti prima del previsto, dopo aver pranzato e sistemato i bagagli ci siamo recati a Foce, una frazione di Montemonaco, un piccolo borgo da cui parte uno dei sentieri per giungere al lago Pilato, lago ove la leggenda vuole che il corpo esanime del celebre procuratore Romano fu gettato dopo essere stato trascinato da alcuni bufali. Purtroppo il percorso non è consigliabile per una bimba (via per alcuni passaggi, via per la quasi totale mancanza di ombra) &amp;nbsp;quindi abbiamo optato per altre soluzioni.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X2opjtJ1oig/T3V-s9n2TMI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/tKfiSxqcFhI/s1600/0000000014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="430" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X2opjtJ1oig/T3V-s9n2TMI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/tKfiSxqcFhI/s640/0000000014.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Gole dell'Infernaccio&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Tappa d'obbligo a chi si reca in questi luoghi, sono le Gole dell'Infernaccio, un luogo magico, specie se si ha la fortuna di trovare una giornata abbastanza tranquilla, libera cioè da frotte di turisti. Per raggiungere le gole bisogna seguire una strada sterrata per circa due chilometri, fino a giungere a una sbarra che nega il proseguo. Nello slargo antistante è possibile parcheggiare agevolmente (dipende ovviamente dalla quantità di visitatori). Il sentiero costeggia la montagna scendendo verso un guado, sulla sinistra, se la giornata è torrida ci si può fare una doccia rinfrescante sotto le "pisciarelle", una sorta di cascata a pioggia. Guadato il torrente, ci siamo imbattuti in un accumulo di neve, verosimilmente i resti di una valanga, che incombeva pericolosamente sul sentiero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZpyqxctsqEc/T3VwIyVLv8I/AAAAAAAAAq0/bwk63O5SFGo/s1600/0000000032.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="366" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZpyqxctsqEc/T3VwIyVLv8I/AAAAAAAAAq0/bwk63O5SFGo/s640/0000000032.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Nevaio&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Superato il "nevaio" ci siamo addentrati nelle gole vere e proprie, molto suggestive (e fresche) ove il sentiero costeggia il torrente tranne in alcuni punti dove enormi massi separano la via d'acqua da quella di terra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

Leggenda vuole che il luogo fosse teatro di spaventosi riti negromantici: che sia vero o no, il luogo trasuda magia, vuoi anche solo per la severa imponenza della sua bellezza.&lt;br /&gt;

Ad ogni curva, se non addirittura ad ogni passo, si aprono scorci bellissimi, stretti anfratti, pareti scoscese, acque cristalline e ombrose faggete.&lt;br /&gt;

Del monastero si hanno notizie sin dal X secolo. Posizionato lungo la via che permetteva di raggiungere Visso, Norcia e quindi Roma, il monastero di San Leonardo godette in principio della favorevole posizione ma poi si ritrovò coinvolto nelle contese tra gli abitanti della Val Nerina e Montefortino e quindi decadde fino al completo abbandono. Grazie all'opera di Padre Pietro, un frate&amp;nbsp;cappuccino, la chiesa è stata ricostruita, sebbene ci sia chi accusa il frate di non aver avuto alcun rispetto delle antiche strutture architettoniche, così come c'è chi ne esalta l'epopea. Personalmente ho trovato il frate una brava persona, che ha fatto ciò che ha fatto con grande sacrificio e dedizione, peraltro, senza alcuna finalità lucrativa, anche se poi non si può non rilevare quanto il risultato sia così palesemente finto da sembrare un'attrattiva di Disney world.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pCYXYlDG2KA/T23UPCth00I/AAAAAAAAAjQ/qKjI1CfGWq8/s1600/Castello+di+Vezio+0000.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="428" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pCYXYlDG2KA/T23UPCth00I/AAAAAAAAAjQ/qKjI1CfGWq8/s640/Castello+di+Vezio+0000.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Le origini di questa fortificazione posta a protezione del comune di Varenna sono da far risalire presumibilmente all'epoca romana, sebbene nulla di romano rimanga nell'architettura del castello, di chiara matrice medievale. Vezio deve il suo nome probabilmente ad un legionario romano di nome Vescinus, sebbene altre ipotesi, parimenti valide ne fanno derivare il nome&amp;nbsp;dall'aggettivo&amp;nbsp;"Vetus" riferito al "pagus" ovvero "villaggio antico" a rimarcare che la zona era stata precedentemente abitata, in particolare, dai Liguri e in seguito dai Celti.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VnI_2zr27xE/T23Uk-pD8aI/AAAAAAAAAlY/iqC0pqptjzc/s1600/Castello+di+Vezio+0043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VnI_2zr27xE/T23Uk-pD8aI/AAAAAAAAAlY/iqC0pqptjzc/s640/Castello+di+Vezio+0043.JPG" width="428" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
La leggenda vuole che sia opera della regina longobarda Teodolinda, molto presente nell'area lombarda (da cui non a caso deriva il nome della regione) così come la chiesa di S. Martino e l'oratorio di S. Antonio.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Il castello uscì indenne dal sacco di Varenna del 1126 ad opera dei comaschi (anche se va dettoche le cronache dell'epoca non riportavano dati sull'esistenza del castello) e resistette anche alla distruzione, sempre di Varenna del 1244, quando fornì invece rifugio alle popolazioni locali dalla furia dei soldati comaschi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
In seguito, passò di mano più volte, dai veneti ai bergamaschi, dai francesi agli spagnoli, e per varie famiglie di nobili.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
ancora oggi il castello,&amp;nbsp;benché&amp;nbsp;visitabile è proprietà privata.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
All'interno del castello, nel mastio più precisamente, è stato creato un museo molto particolare con calchi del Lariosauro, un piccolo rettile estintosi nel Triassico Medio. Nulla a che vedere con le leggende di "&lt;i&gt;Larrie&lt;/i&gt;" il mostro lacustre del Lario, nato dalla fantasia dei giornali sulla falsariga del più celebre &lt;i&gt;Nessie&lt;/i&gt; scozzese, come spiegato dal ricercatore Giorgio Castiglioni.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Altra curiosità del castello sono i Fantasmi. Nulla di paranormale, in questo caso, ma una simpatica manifestazione che si svolge in agosto, durante la quale i visitatori che si presteranno come modelli, vengono ricoperti, protetti da una pellicola, da garze e gesso fino all'indurimento di questo. Dopo 15 minuti circa il "fantasma" verrà sfilato dal modello e verrà posizionato e quindi messo in mostra negli angoli più suggestivi del castello.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Qui sotto alcuni fantasmi.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;
Infine, il castello ospita una scuola di falconeria ed è possibile assistere alle esibizioni di tre poiane ed un barbagianni, mentre un gufo reale è chiuso in gabbia a causa di un errore nella valutazione dell'imprinting di un precedente falconiere.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

11 Marzo 2012. Sulle splendide rive del lago Maggiore si è svolta, come ogni anno dal 2008, la mezza maratona sulle suggestive strade che uniscono le cittadine di Verbania e di Stresa. Ho accompagnato, con la nostra bambina, la mia compagna e ho approfittato della splendida giornata primaverile per divertirmi a fare alcune foto sia bellissimo panorama che all'arrivo degli atleti.&lt;/div&gt;

Stresa gode di una vista privilegiata sull'isola Bella, in particolare sul lato dei giardini. Il palazzo Borromeo che rende preziosa l'isola fu costruito nel XVII secolo in più riprese, partendo dallo splendido palazzo e terminato con i sopraccitati giardini. Purtroppo l'approssimarsi all'arrivo della nostra&amp;nbsp;atleta&amp;nbsp;non ci ha permesso di fare una gita sull'isola, così mi sono dovuto accontentare di qualche altra foto dalla riva.&lt;/div&gt;

Alle 15.00 con il resto dei "leguritt" (il gruppo con cui si allena la mia compagna) siamo andati finalmente a mangiare presso il Ristorante Pizzeria "la &lt;a href="http://www.tripadvisor.it/Restaurant_Review-g187847-d1081478-Reviews-Taverna_del_Pappagallo-Stresa_Lake_Maggiore_Piedmont.html#REVIEWS"&gt;Taverna del Pappagallo&lt;/a&gt;". Difficile giudicare la cucina mangiando il menù speciale del maratoneta (pizza o pasta, dolce, caffe, acqua o birra). La pizza non era male e i dolci erano abbondanti, almeno nella scelta. Il luogo è comunque carino, specialmente l'esterno sul retro.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"&gt;Secondo la leggenda de “La Crepes Spavìdes” ovvero la leggenda dei Monti Pallidi, tra le nostre montagne viveva un principe buono, amato dal suo popolo. Egli però era molto triste; solo una cosa avrebbe potuto rallegrarlo: raggiungere la luna per conoscerne la principessa che gli era apparsa in sogno. Con l’aiuto di due saggi il suo desiderio si realizzò e, giunto sulla luna dove tutto era luminoso e splendente, incontrò la principessa e fu da lui subito riamato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"&gt; Il suo soggiorno però fu breve, infatti i suoi occhi, feriti da quel chiarore così intenso, cominciarono a soffrire. Il principe dovette ritornare sulla terra con la sua sposa, e qui fu festeggiato dai suoi sudditi. Solo un mazzolino di fiori bianchi portò con se la principessa e ben presto questi ricoprirono gli alpeggi del regno: le Stelle Alpine. La loro felicità però fu breve, la principessa si ammalò di malinconia: i colori erano così forti sulla terra e le montagne così cupe… per non morire dovette ritornare dal re suo padre.     &lt;br /&gt;I nani silvani, numerosi in questi luoghi, vennero in aiuto al principe sempre più disperato per questa forzata separazione. Una notte di luna piena salirono sulle cime più alte di queste montagne e, sotto la direzione del loro re, incominciarono a fare strani movimenti con le mani e le braccia e ben presto tra loro apparvero grossi gomitoli splendenti: avevano filato i raggi di luna! Poco prima dell’alba, i nani silvani srotolarono i gomitoli lungo le ripide pareti delle montagne che furono ben presto ricoperte da un chiarore meraviglioso che avvolse tutto il regno. La principessa della luna poté ritornare tra i Monti Pallidi dove visse felice con il principe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Fanes è il nome di un antico popolo di cui parlano le leggende Ladine, per chi volesse approfondire consiglio il bellissimo e accurato sito &lt;a href="http://www.ilregnodeifanes.it/"&gt;Il Regno dei Fanes&lt;/a&gt; curato da Adriano Vanin dove si trova anche un importante bibliografia e da cui sono tratte le descrizioni in corsivo dei vari luoghi (ho volutamente lasciato attivi alcuni link che rimandano al sito). Questo nome è divenuto poi un toponimo: l'Alpe di Fanes è infatti un imponente quanto bellissimo catino dolomitico i cui margini scendono a strapiombo verso la Val Badia. La zona fa parte del &lt;a href="http://www.provincia.bz.it/natura/2803/parchi/fanes/"&gt;Parco Regionale del Fanes Senes Braies&lt;/a&gt;, una zona incantevole che ho, sommariamente visitato (con una bimba piccola e tre ernie più di tanto non mi è stato possibile),&amp;nbsp; durante le vacanze estive, una delle più belle della mia vita.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Lo scopo di questa introduzione è semplicemente quello di pubblicare alcune fotografie che ho scattato durante la vacanza, sperando di poter trasmettere a voi lo spirito di quei luoghi magnifici, o anche solo un immagine (cliccare sull’immagine per ingrandire).&lt;/div&gt;

Il lato settentrionale è delimitato da una serie di rilievi, tra cui spicca la Croda del Becco, strapiombanti sulla val Foresta ed il &lt;a href="http://www.ilregnodeifanes.it/italiano/luoghi11.htm"&gt;lago di Braies&lt;/a&gt;; quello meridionale dalla val dai Tamersc - val di Rudo - Pederù.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Strano a dirsi, le alpi di Fanes non sono direttamente menzionate come sito di particolari avvenimenti della leggenda, anche se è pressochè certo che facessero parte del territorio di caccia o di pascolo dei Fanes stessi. I nomi delle alpi, grande e piccola, sono legati all'importanza economica degli alpeggi e delle relative malghe.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
