Ghosts from Italy

July 9, 2008 Italy No Comments

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:

Monselice Castle – Lady Ivalda

In Monselice Castle, near Padua, the bloody spectre of Lady Ivalda is said to wander the corridors.

Why not visit and see if you can spot this tormented spirit who was murdered by her jealous husband when he discovered her adulterous ways!

Wander around at night – if you dare!

Here is the visits calendar:

Rocca di Monselice SRL

Via del Santuario n. 11 – 35043 Monselice (PD) – ITALY

Telephone & Fax (+39) 0429/72468

Francesco Cossiga Understood Italy

18 Aug 2010

For those who did not know, Francesco Cossiga, who died the other day, was an Italian politician and one time President of Italy. Cossiga hailed from Sardinia, was a fan of John Le Carre and had earned himself the nickname “the pickaxe” owing to his no holds barred criticism of other Italian politicians.

Berlusconi v Fini – Slinging Old Mud

12 Aug 2010

As you may be aware, the generally tumultus world of Italian politics is in turmoil. The Berlusconi government is teetering on the brink of collapse, but what is really surprising, is that this collapse was sparked from the inside.

Berlusconi Divorces Fini

30 Jul 2010

Kotipizza Berlusconi

From spat to full-blown split. Silvio Berlusconi’s marriage of political convenience to Gianfranco Fini has ended in tears. Scorned lover Berlusconi even rejected Fini’s last minute attempts to kiss and make up and remain part of Berlusconi’s party of love. End of love in. Period.

Knowing Italy – Le Cinque Terre

When I came to Italy well over ten years ago, I was not really aware of all that Italy had to offer. I knew of the legendary big three Italian destinations: Rome, Venice and Florence, and, purely as a result of having seen the photographs of a colleague, I was aware of the stunning beauty of the Amalfi coastline. From programmes on history, I’d found out about Pompeii. That, I’m sorry to say, was about it.

Did the expression ‘at sixes and sevens’ originate from English speakers who had dealings with Italians? There does seem to be some evidence.

This week’s images of Italy photo shows a newsstand in Umbria, Italy, which has a charming little extra ‘guarding’ all those valuable publications. It’s a lovely capture.

As a Northern 40-something-year-old Englishman, the four years I’ve spent learning Italian haven’t exactly been plain sailing (blame the British school system).
