Sant'Angelo - Il Paese delle Fiabe
About This Museum
Perched on the slopes of Monte Secco in Lazio, the village of Sant'Angelo has been utterly transformed. It's now known as 'Il Paese delle Fiabe'—the Fairytale Village—where the old stone houses and winding alleyways are alive with color and magic. Local artists have turned the entire hamlet into an open-air gallery, covering walls with scenes from classic fables and myths. You'll find yourself wandering from one enchanting tableau to the next, completely charmed by this hillside dream.
Collection Highlights
The main attraction is the village itself, a living storybook where you can stumble upon Snow White or get lost in a forest painted on a cottage wall. Look for the giant dragon coiled around a building and the vibrant murals of Pinocchio that seem to interact with the very doors and windows they're painted on.
Visitor Information
Just follow the Str. Monte Secco right into the heart of it—there's no ticket booth, it's free to explore anytime. Wear good shoes for those steep, cobbled lanes; it’s best visited during daylight to see all the paintings in full color.
Architecture & Building
The setting is a classic medieval Italian borgo, with rustic stone buildings and narrow passages built right into the mountainside, now serving as canvases for a modern fairytale revival.
