Today Graun\u00a0is gone and only the tower of a bell tower remains\u00a0rising from Lake Reschen. In 1950, after the construction of a dam, the village was flooded and the residents had to evacuate. Now the tower seems to come out of nowhere, and it makes the Reschensee a truly charming and fabulous place, a symbol of the whole valley. In winter, when the lake freezes, the bell tower\u00a0can be reached by\u00a0foot.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2016\/06\/appennine-colossus-florence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Villa Medici and the Appennine Colossus<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12669\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/01\/Appennino-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Appennine Colossus\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/01\/Appennino-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/01\/Appennino-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A giant statue in the heart of the Villa Medici in Pratolino, near Florence, which is half man and half mountain: we are speaking about\u00a0the\u00a0Appennine Colossus, a pensive 10-meter giant covered\u00a0in mud, lichen and limestone within which there are still two small rooms.
