Abruzzo. Alberto Angela visits the incredible landscapes and the wonders of Campo Imperatore

The italian journalist and scientific popularizer Alberto Angela returns to Abruzzo to discover and tell the incredible landscapes and wonders of Campo Imperatore, the “Little Tibet” of Italy.

Campo Imperatore (“Emperor’s Field”) is a mountain grassland or alpine meadow formed by a high basin shaped plateau located above Gran Sasso massif, the largest plateau of Apennine ridge. Known as “Little Tibet”, it is located in Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park, near L’Aquila, Abruzzo, Italy.

Campo Imperatore is a notable cinematographic natural set: the location has been used in more than twenty films, like The American, The Name of the Rose, Krull, Ladyhawke, Red Sonja, Il sole anche di notte, and L’Armata ritorna.
