The Piano Grande in the Sibillini National Park,Umbria/Le Marche,Italy is famous for its Lentils and annual wildflower display
The Piano Grande is situated in the Sibillini National park at a height of 1400 metres in the heart of Italy A territory where the magic of local nature, history, and culture combine. The realm of the mythic Sybilla, the Parco Nazionale Monti Sibillini was established in 1993 ( over 70,000 ha), with the aim to safeguard the environment, promote a social and economic sustainable development, and favour the creation of a "Park suitable to everyone". The wolf, the golden eagle, the peregrine, and a number of endemic species are the most evident elements of a biological richness which, along with the charm of the abbeys and of the Medieval historical centers lying in a crown at the foot of the mountains, have shaped an old evocative world where time has stopped. The Piano Grande is a particularly popular tourist destination during its spectacular wildflower season, generally at the end of June and known as Fiorita. This area is also home to two endemic botanical plant species: Carex buxbaumii and Carex disticha. It also produces the finest lentils in Italy and arguably the world.
