e-borghi travel 5, Landscapes and villages: Calabria, the Landscapes of Contemplation
“… what a wonderful land! What refreshment for your soul!”, this famous quote by the Russian writer N.V. Gogol perfectly describes the sentiment that Calabria and its landscapes is unleashed in the visitors’ eyes. That’s what happened to the well-known German director Wim Wenders who was completely lost in the beauty of the Calabrian landscapes, he called them “the landscapes of contemplation”. Actually Calabria with its thousand-year-old contrasts is for sure an extraordinary “narration” of art, nature, people, villages and traditions. An exclusive invitation to contemplation: Calabria is a state of mind.
