Sky Arte's 'Sei in Paese meraviglioso' Explores Templar Legends in Lazio

other · 2026-05-04

The new episode of the series 'Sei in Paese meraviglioso,' hosted by Michelle Carpente and Dario Vergassola on Sky Arte, airs Monday, September 2, and travels through the Lazio region from the Lepini Mountains to Monte Circeo. The itinerary includes medieval Priverno, surrounded by military installations, and the Abbey of Fossanova, an architectural masterpiece. The journey continues to the hilltop village of Sermoneta, dominated by the Castello dei Caetani. In the cloister of the Abbey of Valvisciolo, Templar legends are evoked through concentric Latin inscriptions and stone crosses carved on the rose window and entrance door. The medieval and floral motifs of the cloister echo those of the nearby Ninfa oasis, a magical place of water and architecture. The Sky Arte website is powered by Artribune, which manages its content and digital interface.
