Ravine of the Castle stream in province of Viterbo, Italy. In the background the ancient medieval settlement of Colle Casale with the so called Tower of Chia. Chia was a place particularly beloved by the great Italian writer and director Pier Paolo Pasolini, who restored the old castle with beautiful tower. Just near the tower, where are the falls of Castello stream, in 1964 the director turned the scene of the baptism of Jesus in the movie "Il Vangelo secondo Matteo" (The Gospel According to St. Matthew).
