Postcard from Sarsina

This is the main square of Sarsina, a small town on the mountains of Emilia-Romagna in Italy.
Sarsina is famous because Titus Maccius Plautus, the most important Latin playwriter, was born there. Every Summer there is an important theater festival.
You can visit also a small but delicious Roman museum and admire Lucio Cangini's modern artwork  in a few spots of the town.
Last but not least there is the Cathedral of St. Vicinio (in the pic on the left). Built in 997 A.C., it is one of the very few places authorized to hold exorcisms by the Catholic Church of Rome.
