The hilly Sabine landscape, stands out for its "mosaic-like” shape, with many patches, cultivated with olive trees, wheat fields, vineyards, lawn patches, orchards, etc., divided by perimeter hedges, interspersed with small not cultivated woodland areas, lakes, ravines, rivers, etc., overhung by perched hilltop medieval villages.
In this mosaic we find rural buildings, small castles, churches, built from local stone in traditional styles. This symphony of beauty, which also promotes an extraordinary biodiversity, natural and cultural richness, where everything seems to have a specific function, is found in Casperia.
We will know better when and how this landscape was shaped and its main protagonists: the sharecroppers farmers. Those farmers, each of them by working, with age-old wisdom, their own patch, have contributed to the maintenance of this beautiful scenery, until recently, and now we have a duty to make any effort to preserve this wealth of bio-cultural diversity.
