Hello to All

We just returned from a fantastic trip to Grazzano Visconti in the province of Piacenza, a small medieval town remained intact at the time. Entering the village seems that there is an almost magical atmosphere like walking into one of those Harry Potter-style villages do not know 'if you have to imagine this ... is dressed like the ladies of the Middle Ages with those long dresses and soldiers on horseback in armor wear. Inside the village there are several shops and a souvenir items is handmade by villagers and in more 'restaurants and large meadows where sdaraiarsi for a picnic or take a relaxing nap in the shade of cypress trees.

we entered the village to also see some kind of show in a hangar where it was probably once the stock of tools, in fact I could see various types of equipment for wine, milk and some still several models of tractors working (it seems). While we were shooting them 'inside, within walking distance of us had started a sort of tournament with swords costumes that you could also wear (too bad really weighed too!). In the representation there were three soldiers who fought and eventually one of the three were beaten and put to igogna, then the audience with his finger raised or lowered decided if he should die or not (luckily it was only a fiction).

I tried a helmet and a camaglio that would be the wire mesh that served to protect the shoulders and neck of the soldier from sword blows and I assure you that weighed so really could not pass anything to them '!

And I 'sorry to be so much away from that place was like living in another era ... yet it must return to reality' knows 'that sooner or later we'll be back'.

A big kiss Meme
