So after being in two busy cities it makes sense to visit a town in the countryside. Poppi was the perfect pick. The scenery on top of the mountain was remarkable, and I wish we had more time there. Not only was the town beautiful, there was an ancient castle right next to our hotel!! Of course since we only had a day and a half, we had to fit in a lot in a short amount of time. We went on a ride to Castillo di Romena and it was amazing to see the surviving remains of it and to learn where Dante was inspired to write the Divine Comedy. After the castle, we traveled down a path to visit a small perish. We also took an hour to have an Italian lesson, which was amazing to attempt with learning more words to communicate.

During the half day, we went through the castle next to the hotel, and my favourite part was going up to the bell tower. The view from the top was beautiful and some people from my group stayed to hear the bells ring. Then we had another meeting where we analysed Dante. Overall I loved the countryside more than I thought I would, and I really hope to go back someday.
