Letino

Overview

The heart of Letino, as its very name tells us, is the River Lete, a river with a very ancient history that is intertwined with myth and literature: here, it is said in the Aeneid, the souls of the Elysian Fields dive when they have to reincarnated, and also here, Dante tells us in Purgatory, the purified souls are washed before ascending to Paradise, to forget their earthly sins. Next to the village, the small lake and its caves complete the spectacle of nature. Once you enter the village, however, you will be enchanted looking at the typically mountainous-looking houses, with their small windows that are meant to protect against the great winter cold, the uphill alleys and the Church of St John the Baptist, with its stone façade, which still tells of the spiritual strength of this place.
