Valle d'Aosta | Aosta Valley: Mountains And Castles | 4K Drone Video

Website: http://www.atellani.com A cinematic aerial drone video of the Valle d'Aosta (Aosta Valley) region, in Northern Italy. Featuring the Castle of Graines in Val d'Ayas, located near the village with the same name near Brusson. It occupies the summit of a rocky spur which commands Brusson and most of the Val d'Ayas. In medieval times, it communicated through flag or mirror messages with the nearby Bonot Tower and the Villa Castle in Challand-Saint-Victor. According to a legend a large treasure lies buried under the castle! The fief of Graines is documented since 515, when King Sigismund of Burgundy donated it to the newly formed Abbey of St. Maurice. The castle was perhaps built in the 11th century by its monks, who built the Romanesque chapel which is still visible in the interior. In 1263 the abbey sold the fief to Godefroi of Challant, a faithful vassal of the House of Savoy, whose family held the castle until the 18th century. The castle was a stronghold of Catherine of Challant in her struggle for the family's inheritance. When the Challant disappeared in the 19th century, the castle was bought by Passerin d'Entrèves family, who later sold it to the commune of Brusson. The video is followed by the Shrine of the Madonna della Neve of Machaby (Madonna of the snow), which is located at a height of 696 metres, in the Machaby valley and not far from the centre of Arnad, in a splendid position among the chestnut forests. The building, which originates from the fourteenth century, was rebuilt entirely in 1687. Next is the Castello superiore di Arnad (Arnad's superior castle). Situated in a position dominating the village, on the side of the Machaby valley, the castle is at present in ruins. It was probably built by the noble De Arnado family in the 13th century. In the 14th century it was the residence of the Valleise family, who invited Amadeus VI of Savoy to lunch in 1351. The next point of interest shown is the famous Castello di Bard (Bard's castle), also know for being features as the Hydra Fortress in Marvel's Avengers. It is situated in the historic route that controls the pass between Italy and France in the Aosta Valley (northwest of Italy). The current Bard fortifications were built by Charles Albert of Savoy between 1830 and 1838. It replaced a 10th-century castle that had, itself, been built on an earlier structure founded by Theodoric I in the 5th century. The castle was under the control of the powerful local lords of Bard until the middle of the 13th century when ownership passed to the House of Savoy. Under their control, the defences were strengthened and improved. On May 14, 1800, a 40,000-strong French army was stopped by 400 Austro-Piedmontese soldiers at Fort Bard. They held the pass for two weeks, completely ruining Napoleon Bonaparte's plan of making a surprise attack on the Po Valley and Turin. Lastly, the Verres Castle (Castello di Verrès) is a fortified 14th-century fortress in the lower Aosta Valley, in north-western Italy. It has been called one of the most impressive buildings from the Middle Ages in the area. Built as a military fortress by Yblet de Challant in the fourteenth century, it was one of the first examples of a castle constructed as a single structure rather than as a series of buildings enclosed in a circuit wall. The castle stands on a rocky promonitory on the opposite side of the Dora Baltea from Issogne Castle. The castle dominates the town of Verrès and the access to the Val d'Ayas. From the outside it looks like an austere cube, thirty metres long on each side and practically free of decorative elements. Footage filmed with DJI Inspire 2 -Camera: Zenmuse X7 with 50mm.
