The Colorful Blooms of Castelluccio, Italy (14 photos)

In central Italy, the small village of Castelluccio sits atop a hill overlooking the Piano Grande—a broad basin surrounded by the Sibillini Mountains—where fields of lentils and poppies bloom every year, carpeting the landscape with a colorful quilt of blossoming flowers. Every summer the phenomenon is viewed by thousands of tourists, and this year, photographers Antonio Masiello and Tiziana Fabi visited as well, sending back these photos.
