We already have several views from here on this site (and I have some unpublished), but here you finally have one with the perfect weather. Congratulations! Cheers, Martin

Hi Martin. I don't know if the weather was perfect. Visibility was good (though if it hadn't been, I would have gone elsewhere), but it was very hot even at those altitudes, and it was very windy at the summit.
In my opinion, the timing was perfect—around sunset.
Rocca Calascio is one of my favorite places in the Apennines, and I'm glad you visited it.
