The Flowering of Lentils in Castelluccio di Norcia
Every year, between June and July, the lentil fields of Castelluccio di Norcia are transformed into an incredible mosaic of colors.
The town is located in Umbria, in the Monti Sibillini National Park, at an altitude of 1,400 meters. The lentil flowers are accompanied by poppies, blueberries, daisies, wild mustard, chamomile and other wild flowers that find space thanks to the methods introduced by the farmers of the area who work without pesticides, promoting biodiversity and giving life, during the flowering period, to this natural and impressive sight.
