The spectacular gole del Sagittario, an imposing canyon created by millennia of erosion by the Sagittario River, was a renowned destination on the Grand Tour in the 19th century. Travelers passionate about Italy, Richard Craven (1779–1851) and Edward Lear (1812–1888), described these natural sites in their diaries as "fearful and beautiful," an emblem of the romantic sublime. A group of tourists visits these natural wonders, then stops in the village of Scanno, where we witness a wedding procession in traditional dress.
