Rare and evocative image of Castel del Monte wrapped in snow, with the surrounding fields and trees completely whitened. The Federiciana castle, normally immersed in the Mediterranean landscape of the Murge, transforms into a fairytale setting during rare winter snowfalls. The octagonal fortress of Frederick II, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, acquires an even more mysterious charm under the snow blanket.
