At the moment we are open only during the events.


Everything you have wanted since you were a child, here has turned into reality!
La Contea Gentile is a very special place. As soon as you arrive you feel it immediately: a mix of excitement and peace, of potential adventures and friendships hidden around the corner. Thousands of people who have already landed on this earth have said the same thing: "here you can breathe the real Magic."

The project of La Contea Gentile still nearing completion, is the creation of a fantastic village immersed in the unchanged Abruzzo countryside, already full of stories, legends, good food and good air! Here you will find comfortable houses carved into the hill, adventurous dwarf caravans, woods where laughter echoes, a cool river to dive into in the summer months and good old good cultivated land...

Fundraising

One person alone can't build all this, many together Yes!
Whoever donates will be mentioned in the “Contea Gentile Ledger” where the salient facts of its creation and the names of those who made it what it is will be reported.

Journey in Middle Earth

Have you ever wished you could enter middle earth, experience the adventures of halflings, elves and dwarves? And if I told you that this dream has come true?

Conscious of our wonderful Earth I felt the strong call of an adventure!

On Friday 27 August 2021, eight other adventurers and I, dressed up as fantasy characters, set off from Bucchianico (CH), right from the little House which now stands in La contea Gentile and we arrived on 2nd September 2021 on the Vesuvius to throw the only ring inside! It was an epic journey, fraught with real dangers and great hardships...

Frequently Asked Questions

Not yet. Although Contea Gentile is already characteristic now, there is the little house and it is delightful in itself, with the ancient oak tree, the green hill, the woods all around and the little river, we advise against coming now. It may seem ugly, but we want you to see the complete Contea Gentile at 100%, while for now you would only see an incomplete work.

In occasion of the Events of La Contea Gentile it is possible to participate and have fun together with other enthusiasts! We keep the site up to date. All official information and ticket purchases will be available on the dedicated pages

For now, unfortunately, we are not able to host people for overnight stays, not even in tents (except for events). For that we will have to wait a little longer

It all depends on the outcome of the fundraiser

For now, unfortunately, we cannot organize hen/bachelor parties or private parties in general

We will update the website with more details in view of upcoming events. We advise you to follow the profile Instagram and subscribe to the Newsletter to find out the latest news

DEED OF CONTRACT
CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT

In the book and in the film, the most famous halfling in the shire finds himself having to sign a burglar's contract drawn up by the Dwarves with a thousand footnotes and paragraphs. You can find the reproduction of this contract, in English, everywhere, but this one you see was hand-written by one of the loyal "citizens" of our project, in Italian and with references to the Journey that the contea Gentile is undertaking: the Construction and the Birth of a place out of the ordinary!

This document can be filled in with the type of trade or service you can offer for the creation of the contea Gentile!

Handmade paper, custom font, pages cut out and sewn by hand with string and sealed with hot wax.

If you're curious, find out more about the Journey to Middle Earth here!

This document is not necessarily widely or legally recognized by states friend or foe, neighboring or distant, real or imagined. It has recognized and guaranteed validity only within the territories of the contea Gentile.

OFFICIAL COIN
OF LA CONTEA GENTILE

Minted in 2022, it depicts the symbol of the shire on one side, the Acorn. While on the other side the face of the nicest mayor there is, Nicolas Gentile. This coin was created by one of the loyal "citizens" of the county project, to support and grow it.

Attention: obviously this currency has no legal value in Italy or other countries (perhaps only in imaginary ones). This is a gadget/souvenir from La contea Gentile. Certainly more emotionally valuable than other currencies in circulation in the world!

OFFICIAL PASSPORT
OF LA CONTEA GENTILE

Always carry the Official Passport of LA CONTEA GENTILE with you! This is the most excellent identification document: every self-respecting resident of La contea Gentile, presumed or current never leaves home without it! This passport was created by one of the loyal "citizens" of the shire project, in support and growth of it.

Fill it out with the information, characteristics and details that distinguish you: gender, species, class, hair, eyes, build, particular brands and much more!

This document is not necessarily widely or legally recognized by friendly or hostile, neighbours or distant, real or imaginary states.
