A village floats through the clouds like a mystical island in this amazing picture.

Taken by amateur photographer Vittorio Poli, it shows a town emerging eerily from between the clouds in the Asiago Plateau in northern Italy.

Mr Poli, 31, who lives in the area, was returning from a trip up a nearby mountain at dusk when the mist came rolling in.

He said: ‘I was coming down from Mount Bertiaga.

‘It was about 5.15pm and I was still about 1,000 metres up when my eyes were caught by a sea of fog that was slowly enveloping my little country, like a floating island.

‘I stood and watched in awe. I was deeply touched by what I saw so I took this picture, maybe one of the most beautiful I’ve done.’

The village is called Conco and is one of seven villages that make up the plateau named after the largest one Asiago

Vittorio added: ‘The village is called Conco and is one of seven villages that make up the plateau, named after the largest one, Asiago.’

His stunning image shows just the roof-tops of the houses illuminated by the sunset and the church steeple standing proud in the distance.

Conco is a tiny village with a population of just under 3,000.

The Asiago Plateau is the largest plateau in the Eastern Alps of Italy.
