历史悠久的山顶村庄 History awaits atop the hill

拉布罗，意大利

今天的照片展示的是罗马东北方向约43英里的意大利小村庄拉布罗。拉布罗始建于公元9世纪至10世纪，罗马帝国奥托大帝将其封给了一个王室贵族，村庄面积只有约4.4平方英里。诺比利-维泰莱斯基城堡坐落在树木繁茂的山坡上，修建初衷是为了保卫周边和控制山谷的通信路线。二战期间，拉布罗的人口急剧减少，整个村庄几近消失。二战后，拉布罗以旅游业为目标进行了重建，现在这里是个热门的旅游目的地。

Village of Labro, Italy

Join us for a journey to a tiny Italian village about 43 miles northeast of Rome. Founded sometime between the 9th and 10th centuries, the village of Labro, having been assigned to a powerful aristocratic family by Emperor Otto the Great, only covers a little over 4.4 square miles. Perched atop a wooded hill, the Nobili-Vitelleschi castle originally served to secure the border and control communication routes in the valley below. Labro is now almost purely a tourist destination, having been restored for the purpose shortly after WWII when the village almost evaporated due to mass depopulation.
