Bolgheri, a small treasure trove of treasures and history

Bolgheri è Poetry how can you describe it if not with the same well-known poem by Carducci who lived here as a child?

“The cypresses that a Bólgheri high and forthright. They come from San Guido in double file. Almost in a race giant young men. They jumped towards me and looked at me.

Small, enclosed within itself, alleys and lanes full of evocative little glimpses, wine bars displaying their products along the road and we are almost as if we are inside a painter’s painting

Activated tourists, swallows above the castle, views along the cypress trees, this is Bolgheri, a must-see because, like any village worth its salt, it remains in the heart.

A stopover in Bolgheri may obviously seem reductive, the village is small but it is a treasure trove of treasures, so I suggest you take a break and sit down for an ice cream or a glass of excellent wine.

The pace is slow in Bolgheri, everything flows around the central square, Piazza Teresa, where you will find not only the house where the great poet lived as a child, but also the house of the woman he fell in love with, the one with the staircase and the fountain.

The Avenue of Cypresses is a setting worthy of a painter, and every time I ride along it I feel a different emotion, and the church of San Guido at the beginning of the Avenue will also require a little more attention.

Then go, and visit the place where the poet lived as a child, but also the house where the woman he fell in love with lived.

So go on, visit it, lose yourself in its alleyways, sip a wine, perhaps to the notes of a jazz melody, Bolgheri is poetry!
