in hit and run that characterized my holiday spirit this year, I have come across in a village that has sorely tested my faith in the aesthetic sensibilities of the natives.
Celera until his death the name, suffice it to say that this is a small village about 3 thousand souls nestled in the Apennines, place the domain of a beautiful valley. Lovely place, really. Too bad that a good portion of the local population, when choosing the color with which to decorate their home, was seized with a fit of madness.
Probably glossy, but still crazy. Something halfway between a hyperactive child who has been given a whole box di Faber Castell e un gruppo di fauvisti in preda a qualche acido.
Si ha sempre l'idea, figurandosi queste amene località, di andare incontro a luoghi in cui il tempo si sia, non dico fermato, ma almeno preso una pausa. Illusione! Non solo il logorio della vita moderna è arrivato anche qui, ma sembra proprio averli colti in pieno (...viso e contromano!).
In realtà qualche piccolo dubbio sull'esattezza della nostra scelta ha iniziato a farsi largo già alle primi pendici, nel momento in cui ci siamo trovati davanti le prime casupole costituenti il borgo.
Una su tutte ha scatenato in noi sinistri presagi. Semplice villetta, giardino curato e gentile, deliziose finestre ornate da fiori ma... rossa. Rossa! Non un discreto grenade, an anonymous clay or a soft coral, no red!
Now, to paraphrase an old saying I could argue that "the house is mine and me who I am!" Very good. But it would be nice also to think about those who, with eyes still calm of pristine green around, around the corner finds himself catapulted into the most hidden dreams of his Excellency the Count Vlad! In short, every good color therapy may certify that I am not making jokes!
dissolved all with a laugh and a disquisition on the obvious nostalgia for the policies of occupying the dwelling, a little less happily we continued our journey.
Things began to get complicated when you're standing out in front of Our tender and still incredulous eyes a second house. A bit bigger than before, but with a color equally embarrassing. Blue. Not a soft blue, a mild powder or a cane! No, bright blue. Stuff to embarrass the jumpsuit of Supertelegattone (miaooo!).
Noting that the tenants seemed temporarily absent, probably involved in the search for puffbacche, we continued, now ready for the worst. Obviously, it was not long in arriving.
Now, I do not want tirarvela for long. Suffice to say that we met in the order:
- a two-storey building, and pretty raspberry.
- a house with a nice porch acid yellow.
- a small cottage and orange
- dated and decidedly palace indigo (electric)
- house floral and green apple, sour.
