Castello di Amorosa...

Today we took a tour of an Italian Castle. All of the wood, bricks, stone etc...were imported from different countries throughout Europe. Everything was made like an Italian castle would have been built. It was pretty amazing to say the least... Not to mention our tour guide was intriguing and so into it that you became thrilled by every word... Let me show through a gallery of pictures so you can get a small glimpse of what we saw today...
