we love fulvio

fulvio's cherry tree in capodacqua, a pretty magical world. tom's little ear in the tree, deez and lucy lounging while contemplating baby names.

goose eggs and scorpions

the isolated church in the valley between navelli and collapietro, a goose egg from fulvio. one of our many scorpion friends (hands for scale) and beautious light.

action jackson

some burning, some tractors. some schoolchildren taking rocks from the yard, and awesome francesco the speediest muratore in the peninsula of italy. as well as champion gardner, accordian champion and once a motorcycle racer.

cocullo-festival of the serpents

san domenico can cure the bites of dogs, snakes, and hydrophobia. it is believed the townspeople are innately resistant to snake venom.

wild asparagus, salvaged bottles,freeing the stream

no stopping edino with his chainsaw

we love edino

this is edino. he pulled over one day in his little black car to ask what tom what he was doing,
and easily moved into english -- italian/boston accent. he lived in newton, the town next to where
tom is from, in the mid fifties doing carpentry work. he's given us many a wild asparagus, brought over his
chainsaw, and showed us around his chicken coops and rabbit rooms. the eggs are delicious.

cantina

sweeping turned into raking turned into digging and pulling up stones.
first we thought it was maybe a wine press, the layout is the same in both rooms in the cantina.
the rumor is it was maybe once a dye house.
