Nanno

Situated between the Noce and Tresenga streams, this small mountain village is a hamlet of the municipality of Ville d'Anaunia and one of the most ancient settlements of the Val di Non, as confirmed by important archaeological findings.

The landscape is characterised by verdant apple orchards. The battlements of the curtain wall and the four towers of the 15th century Castel Nanno, a summer residence in Renaissance style, overlook the entire area. This fortress was completely rebuilt on a pre-existing fort by the prince bishops Madruzzo. The monument is surrounded by different legends, including the tragic love story of Melisenda and Ludovico who were walled in by Melisenda's father because of the rivalry between the two families.

A stone's throw from Castel Nanno stands the church dedicated to the Saints Fabiano and Sebastiano with its 14th century frescoes. In the village centre you can visit the typical piazza San Biagio dominated by the bell tower of the parish church.
