Umbria and Marche
The yellows, ochres and reds of autumn landscapes

Some will ask why we're talking about autumn, whilst summer is still here! Well, at 4Corners we like to think ahead. Maurizio Rellini has been working for several seasons to produce a series of breathtaking images using the warm colours of autumn. It's useful material for picture editors who are already working on October and November issues. Rellini shows us the regions of Marche and Umbria as though through warm-tinted glasses: glowing woodlands surrounding ancient villages, fallen leaves, and huge meadows after the hay has been gathered. The skies are turning pink and lilac, the shadows lengthen and in this autumnal contest of colour, the parks of Monte Sibilini and Conero are glorious. We revisit the historic towns of Assisi, Spoleto, Macerata Montelupone, Piediluco and in the far distance we can just make out Tuscany.
