ATTACCHI: from noble elegance to discovering the territory

The discipline of driving horse-drawn   carriages has its roots in the era of grand aristocratic journeys, when four-wheeled transport was not just a means of transportation, but a true symbol of prestige and culture.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the young scions of the European aristocracy embarked on the famous Grand Tour, an educational journey through Europe and especially Italy, to complete one’s artistic and cultural education. The carriage, elegant and carefully furnished, was a central element: designed as a small traveling apartment, it guaranteed comfort, safety, and style during long months of travel. Every detail, from the silent wheels to the soft suspension, was designed to make the journey pleasant and smooth.

The attacks thus arose as a perfect combination of skill and nobility: the knight had to guide the horse or team in a harmonious manner, controlling the carriage with elegance, precision, and respect for the animal. Over time, this practice became a true equestrian discipline, with competitions and demonstrations that highlight the synergy between horses and drivers.

Carriage riding in the 21st century

Today, the tradition of attacks is reinventing itself as experiential tourism, combining nature, art, history, and gastronomy. Carefully planned routes allow you to travel safely by carriage, respecting the welfare of the horses and enjoying scenic roads, picturesque villages, and unspoiled landscapes.

The modern carriages, often faithful reproductions of historical models but equipped with contemporary technology, offer a comfortable and relaxing experience. The journey, limited to a few hours a day, leaves time to appreciate the local biodiversity, discover hidden corners, and immerse yourself in the traditions of the area.

Travelling by carriage today therefore means combining elegance, slowness, and discovery, reviving the charm of grand noble journeys in a modern key. A unique experience that remains in your heart and memories, allowing you to perceive the territory from a very special perspective.
