Beyond Perugia. Beyond Assisi.
Chapter Four: Montepetriolo.
This time, we don’t need to go far. Borgo dei Conti is part of Montepetriolo, a tiny hilltop village where time still follows a different rhythm.
Our bartender and photographer Sergio, who has called Montepetriolo home since May, describes it through its bells, ringing every fifteen minutes:
“I don’t use clocks. I simply count the chimes. Coming from Milan, listening to a single bell brought me back to a sense of reclaiming my own time, slow and quiet.”
