Gradara
The city of Paolo and Francesca
A delightful village in the heart of Marche region that has been the background of the love story of Paolo and Francesca.
The story of the two lovers inspired Dante one of the most famous love phrases of all time: "Love, which permits no loved one not to love,
took me so strongly with delight in him
that we are one in Hell, as we were above" (Divine Comedy, Inferno V canto).
