See Corciano high on the hill??
Who would have thought that we'd be up in the early morning, scream down that very hill, run through a wheat field in search of a patch of sunflowers as tall as I am? It was foggy, so the temptation to stay in bed was great, but this real experience definitely won over any after-the-alarm-clock-goes-off morning dream.
Chuck taught and I worked all day in the printing studio finishing up some books and now we are off tonight to Solomeo, a remarkable village revived by Brunello Cucincelli, for a 9:00-everyone-in the-town eats-at-the-same-HUGE-table dinner (la buona cucina servita in piazza con paitti tipici della cucina umbria), entertainment (spettacoli musicali), art show and medieval market (mostre d'arte, mercato medievale e anticihi mestieri).
Great photos !! You'all must be havng a blast, bring me some Italian food !

Did you buy any cashmere or at least a pair of Cucinelli shoes, sandals maybe. Do they have a Cucinelli discount store. I am so enjoying seeing Italy through the eyes of Tina. What is the weather like ? Has it cooled down? Hugs, Gary
ReplyDeleteThe gloves (which we do not need since the weather is still very, very hot) are $600 per pair. I am going to check out the discount store next week. We went to the town and expected a small number of local villagers to be eating "al fresco" during the food and arts festival. Instead, we were astonished to see THOUSANDS of people (some dressed in medieval costume) eating rustic Umbrian food on tables in every available street and alley. The surreal part was having all the villagers dancing to The Village People on the ramparts overlooking the valley and protecting a completely reconstructed village.
