Below is a photo essay of my first trip to Torri Superiore. I checked out the eco-village, the apartments & campground, and also drove out to Damanhur - which included a stunning trip through the Alpine hills.

| Torri Superiore has reserved several apartments for our seminar. The first two, called Orione & Nicola are shown below. The other apartments are similar, with lots of old-world character. The space for tents (which is the less expensive option...) also looks inviting. |

| Driving up to Damanhur, I saw some quaint old villages perched on the hills. I also had to cross a high Alpine pass covered with snow. Damanhur was, itself, quite an experience. No pictures were allowed, so I couldn't document that part of the experience. But the drive itself was fantastic... |

This is the town of Torri, which is a 15 minute walk
down the hill from Torri Superiore. It has a café and small grocery store. |
This is the town of Torri viewed from atop the hill.
The small town straddles both sides of the river Bevera. |
