S.i call Lollove and the name is already curious enough. Let’s add that only 12 residents live there And there is no possibility to connect to the Net.
This is enough to give an idea of the lower case medieval village surrounded by greenery and rocks in the hinterland of Sardinia that was inserted in recent days in the ranking of Most beautiful villages in Italy.
Lollove, the country without a network
Thanks to this recognition, the village now has the opportunity to be reborn: in the last decades it had in fact been “stripped”, for the escape to the city of its inhabitants. The intention of the local administration is first of all the idea of reviving the country as ideal travel destination for those looking for an experience of slow tourism: a place to do “Detox” after a period of hyper-connectedness.
But we would also like to repopulate the country in a stable way: the Sardinia Region has in fact published a tender for the urban regeneration of the villages. The goal is ambitious: to equip Lollove with services and infrastructures that attract new residents as well as new tourists.
A detox and eco-sustainable journey in Lollove
Ancient lifestyles, unspoiled nature, no connections: it’s music for those who love slow tourism. So it happens that depopulation and lack of signal they become attractive elements for those looking for authenticity.
For instance? Lassociation uniamoci Lollove it offers to those who visit the town laboratories of bread and pasta, walks in the middle of nature and cultivation of the vegetable garden. THE visitors are already many: many foreigners in the high season, mostly local in the cold months. And the BBC also came to shoot a documentary. It is time for Lollove to be reborn.
