时光倒流......

闭上眼睛，想象一个迷人的中世纪意大利村庄坐落在小山上，教堂的钟声在报时，一片朦胧的错落有致的田野向远处铺开延伸。这就是阿罗内古村落。（这么看来，我们可能也不需要这张照片。）阿罗内俯瞰瓦纳里纳，这是一个由内拉河雕刻而成的山谷，蜿蜒穿过意大利风景秀丽的翁布里亚地区，它被称为意大利的绿色心脏。

当你漫步在9世纪石砌房屋之间的狭窄小巷时，就像进入了时间隧道。从碉堡里向外凝视，想象过去的战争。你很容易就能发现标志性的方形钟楼，上面有一棵古老的橄榄树——这是村庄的创始人阿罗尼家族修建的堡垒的遗迹。

当你在其中漫步时，一定要去参观阿罗内镇的两座教堂。既然你在村庄的顶部—当地人称之为“拉泰拉”—那就去探索这座13世纪的圣乔瓦尼·巴蒂斯塔教堂及其令人惊叹的艺术作品吧。你也可以看看钟楼：“坎帕纳里·迪阿罗内”（阿罗内镇的敲钟人）是传统敲钟方法的守护者。在村庄的下半部分，您会发现圣玛丽亚·阿松塔教堂，里面挂满了可追溯到16世纪早期和17世纪的华丽壁画。别忘了欣赏16世纪的釉面赤陶雕塑哦。在这样一个小村庄，探索历史的方式有很多。

Arrone, Umbria, Italy

Arrone, Italy

The village of Arrone was established in the Valnerina valley, in the scenic Italian region of Umbria, in the 9th century CE. Its narrow alleys, medieval houses and fortifications attract tourists to this picturesque region, known as the green heart of Italy. That iconic square clock tower, with an olive tree on top, is what remains of the fortress built by the Arroni family, the founders of the village.

And then there are the two churches. The modest 13th-century San Giovanni Battista church at the top of the village – “la Terra” to locals – has walls painted with figures of saints and a bell tower. Its Campanari di Arrone – the village bell ringers – are the guardians of traditional bell-ringing methods. Lower in the village, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta is also filled with gorgeous frescoes dating to the early-16th and 17th centuries, as well as 16th-century glazed terracotta sculptures. So much history packed in to such a little village.
