On the occasion of the\u2019Hobbit Day<\/strong>, the party dedicated to the world of JRR Tolkien, La Contea Gentile was the protagonist of a television report broadcast by Open Studio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the service, not only the events, the Hobbits and the atmosphere of Contea, but above all the story of Nicolas Gentile<\/strong> and of that dream born in one of the most difficult moments of his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A story of rebirth that, from Tolkien's imagined Middle-earth, came to a small town in Abruzzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When a dream becomes a new beginning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, Nicolas was diagnosed with leukemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a moment that inevitably changes the course of his life. And it's precisely during that difficult period that the idea arises to bring to life, in the real world, a place that until then had only existed in imagination: Contea of the Hobbits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not just a simple set design, nor a theme park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea was to build a real place, immersed in the Abruzzo countryside, where people could live, at least for a few days, according to the rhythms, values, and imagination of Middle-earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, in the territory of Bucchianico<\/strong>, in the province of Chieti, La Contea Gentile begins to take shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hobbit houses, paths, gardens, families, parties, banquets, and gatherings: what began as a personal dream began, step by step, to become something much bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy Soul is in a Hurry\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Studio Aperto service was created on the occasion of the screening of \u201cMy Soul is in a Hurry\u201d<\/strong>, the film of Joseph Contarino<\/strong> dedicated to the history of Nicolas and the birth of Contea Gentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title picks up on a phrase that perfectly captures the spirit of this story: the awareness that time is of enormous value and that, sometimes, precisely in the most difficult moments, the need arises to stop postponing one's dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence the idea of building, day after day, something that previously seemed impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A piece of Middle Earth in the heart of Abruzzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A story that continues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being featured on a program like Studio Aperto is an important opportunity for us to share this story with those who haven't yet had the chance to experience it at Contea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the best part, perhaps, is that this story isn't over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Contea Gentile continues to grow, welcoming new families and filling itself with events, parties and adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it all starts from that same simple idea with which Nicolas began this journey: If a place capable of restoring a bit of magic doesn't exist yet, why not try to build it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today that place really exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it is here, in Abruzzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the show and thank you to Studio Aperto for telling our story.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
