Fans of the genre Fantasy and, specifically, de The Lord of the Rings, will be pleased and excited to know that the Hobbit Village really exists and is located in Italy, precisely in Abruzzo!

A similar idea could only start from a passionate fan of the saga of JRR Tolkien who, for years, has been working on the creation of a sort of Italian-style Hobbit Count, faithfully inspired by fantasy novels and inhabited by the same characters. The fan in question is Nicolas Gentile (hence the name of Gentile County) who, in 2018, bought land near Bucchianico, a village with just 5 thousand inhabitants.
