Piano Grande, Monti Sibillini

Umbria

The Piano Grande is a closed karst basin at 1,270 m in the Sibillini mountains, covered in June by a carpet of wildflowers (lentils, poppies, cornflowers) that attracts photographers from across Europe. In winter the plateau fills with snow and the silence is absolute.
