Who we are: Umbrian

We are from Umbria, the green heart of Italy: here is one of the most important artistic monument in Italy "San Pietro in Valle"
 
the Longobards Abbey built in the 8th Cent. AD, Feroaldo king founder: situated in Italy, Umbria, Terni, Ferentillo, Valnerina.

"Stonehenge" is a cultural project born inside an original Italian man from Umbria,
Giuseppe (Joseph), attracted - since he was a child -
by Medieval history and ancient archaeology, antiquities and Celtic legends, spiritual worlds and aesthetical way of life.
In November 2004 he opened his shop in Rimini (on the Northern East cost of Italy)
- helped by his wife, Lucia (Lucy) - and he called it "Stonehenge"
to remember the international symbol of human civilization, gathering all his passions in it:
he talks about Greek and Roman period, ancient history, Medieval weapons and clothing,
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Galgano and the sword in the stone, Merlino and Morgana,
Celtic music and jewelry, Druids and runes, fairies and dragons,
mysterious legends, Mystic beings, warriors and battles, The Lord of The Rings,
gargoyles and cathedrals, Gothic atmospheres, magicians and witches, mankind's destiny and art of divination;
sure - as he is - that our contemporary world had lost something human ...
So, he likes to remember how our ancestors have lived, have fought, have loved, have dreamt:
come with us for our precious, pleasant, delicious travel through the History!

Where we are: in Rimini, Northern Italy

"Stonehenge" shop was in Rimini - situated in the Italian region called "Emilia Romagna" -
on the principal avenue along the sea, full of many and different shops,
where on Summer a lot of people walks for shopping or to have drinks and to eat ice creams,
and comes out from the numerous hotels with sea sight, after having dinner,
in the fresh Summer evening, after a hot day in the sun on the long beach beside.
Rimini, in fact, is the most famous and ancient Summer holidays bathing place in Italy: since 1869
it has a long tradition in receiving tourists from all Italy and all over the world, but Rimini is also something else,
with its reach history and its beautiful artistic monuments - since the age of the Roman Empire in the first Century BC -
for its strategic position toward the Eastern Europe and for its important harbor on the Northern Adriatic Sea,
as we remember in our section "notes and photos about Rimini".
Rimini has got also an International airport, with many flies from the most important European cities:
so, it's very very easy to reach us!
