Castelluccio è una frazione del comune di Norcia (PG).
Il paese si trova in cima ad una collina che si eleva sull'omonimo altopiano, uno dei più vasti dell'Italia centrale ed inserito nel Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini. L'altezza di 1.452 m s.l.m. ne fa il centro abitato più elevato dell'Appennino Umbro-Marchigiano e di tutti gli Appennini. Di fronte ad esso si erge imponente la sagoma del Monte Vettore (2.478 m).

La presenza dell'uomo nella zona è testimoniata sin dall'epoca romana, con il rinvenimento di alcuni oggetti in terracotta presso la Fonte di Canatra, in località Soglio. Inoltre, nelle fondamenta di una casa furono rinvenute nei secoli passati diverse monete romane risalenti al periodo dell'imperatore Claudio II il Gotico (III secolo), e lungo la strada che conduce a Forca di Presta, si trovò anche la tomba di un soldato romano. Il nucleo attuale risale al XIII secolo, anche se alcune ricerche tendono a retrodatarne la fondazione.
L'economia del paese è strettamente legata all'attività della pastorizia, che ancora costituisce una buona parte degli introiti degli abitanti. Ad essa va aggiunta l'agricoltura, con la produzione di prodotti tipici quali le famose lenticchie di Castelluccio. Il turismo è presente tutto l'anno: nel periodo invernale, la località di Forca Canapine ospita impianti di risalita funzionanti per attività sciistiche, mentre nel periodo estivo l'escursionismo attrae un gran numero di appassionati.

Beautifull picture, Sylvio.
Amazing colours, light and sharpness. The impressive sky makes the whole a great composition.
Groet,
Joop.

Hi Silvio,
The landscape is really beautiful. It is certainly one I would like to see for myself and explore. Maybe my next vacation should be to Italy. I am not sure what you did to the sky, but it does not match the landscape anymore and looks unreal or better unbelievable. Especially against the naturally hazed hills. If you darkened the sky, I would recommend to tone it down to a more natural appearance.
TFS,
Niek

Hi silvio,
A very interesting photo. It looks as if you were in a place under cloud cover and in shadow and pointing the camera at a sunlight area. May be you should not have included the clouds and cropped off a bit of the dark foreground.

Deslumbrante, Silvio.
A luz que as nuvens grossas deixam passar produz um brilhante efeito sobre toda a paisagem.
Você tem razão, Castelluccio é uma terra eleita dos deuses.
Um abraço e feliz novo ano.

Hi Silvio, I really like the way the light falls across the hills in the bg with just strips of shadows. Its actually funny looking at this on the little laptop, if I move a bit I can change the shadows.Fiona

Original,artistic,vibrant composition Silvio.The colours of the fields bring out the mountains & Vise Versa.Not being the artist that you are, I would have been tempted to crop out most of the dark clouds but not enough to remove the sun rays,which bathe & highlight the colourful fields. It must be so visually vibrant when viewed at its largest size.Well taken
my friend,best wishes for a Happy New Year.

Ron

Hi Silvio,

The distance between the fields and the mountains is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the fields and of the mountains. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Greetings,this is of unreal beauty like the setting for a religous movie.I know people from here who visit this area every year but have not come up with a shot like that one yet.Friendly regards,Otto.

Incredible appearance. The scenery looks almost surreal. Nice job
regards
