Ghoulish Gastronomy in Tuscany
Deep in the depths of Tuscany, not too far from a delightful little place called Anghiari, which is on the border with Umbria, there is the hauntingly interesting restaurant the Locanda al Castello di Sorci.
Now, this restaurant, which seems to have a good reputation for its culinary expertise incidentally, has a little extra on its menu, in the form of the ghost of a certain Baldaccio d’Anghiari, who used to own the castle. Read more
Ghosts Near Rome - Lake Nemi
The second of the Ghosts from Italy series is about the ghosts of those who can be found wandering around near the former Temple of Diana on the shore of Lake Nemi, near Rome.
Apparently these unfortunate, and now ghostly, souls challenged the Temple’s guardian, lost and were sacrificed. As a result of this untimely end, the victims of the guardian’s wrath have been haunting the area ever since.
No special permission appears to be necessary to visit the site, and it seems to be accessible all year round. However parts are on private land, so be careful if you decide to take a closer look. Read more
Ghosts from Italy
I’ve just added a spooky new category to this blog. It’s the same as the title of this post, which is pretty self explanatory.
Ghosts have always held something of a fascination for me, so I thought I might be fun to write posts on where to find ghosts and ghouls around Italy.
If you would like to add a hauntingly new dimension to your travels around the Living Museum, then this information can be used for ‘fright seeing’. Of course, if you do happen to meet up with an Italian spook, do let me know. Send me your photos too!
Happy ghost hunting!
To kick things off, here is a place you might like to visit on a dark and stormy night:
