Piedimonte Matese for you and me

The video starts with a group of students showing the two main squares of Piedimonte Matese: the new Piazza De Benedictis, inaugurated only last December, and Piazza Roma with the “round fountain”, both overlooked by the municipal building on two of its sides. From here the students walk up to the Convent of Saint Thomas of Aquinas, which houses the City Museum, and then to the nearby San Biagio Chapel, that dates back to the 15th century. After a brief presentation of these sites, the students move on to the Ducal Palace of the noble family Gaetani D’Aragona, and finally to the Torano Spring and its stupendous valley, known as Valle dell’Inferno (Valley of Hell). Here some students explain why Piedimonte Matese is called “the city of water”, water which flows plentiful and uncontaminated, distributed to most of the region of Campania. In the video, the students also hint at the shops, restaurants, schools, climate and the many leisure activities in the mountains. The video ends with a series of pictures of the landmarks of the town, while the students sing a song about Piedimonte Matese, to the tune of “This Land is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie.
