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.

While driving through the Foot-Alps around Torri Superiore, I saw some quaint old villages perched on the hills and plenty of olive groves. The scenery was really quite fantastic…
