Shining snow!
We have been living in Porcaticcio since 2007 and snow has always surprised us with its beauty in February. Here it is! Then the spring sun will melt it fast. Enjoy Porcaticcio in white!
Forgotten fruits
Another autumn is bringing the well-known Forgotten Fruits Festival in Casola Valsenio (1st and 2nd week of October). Villagers and farmers are setting up colorful food stands to delight and attract our interest and taste. They offer jams and cakes made with fox pears, pomegranates, quince apples and pears, blackthorn and jujube fruits. They also sell plentyContinue reading “Forgotten fruits”

Cornelis’ latest experiment is a drone flight over Porcaticcio and a few nice spots of our valley. Here is the result. Still to learn and improve, but this is Cornelis’ first step to show you our paradise from a different point of view. Enjoy! LINK TO PORCATICCIO YOUTUBE VIDEO
Snow and blossoms

The female dogs of our neighbour Pierangelo are too attractive for him and they are all quite free to walk from one house to the other, so … When we decided to pay a visit to Pierangelo, we fell in love right away with Spotty (“Macchietta”). It wasContinue reading “Spotty”
Discovering Senio River
Last Sunday I joined an excursion to discover the head of Senio and walk along the river. A beatiful day in the forest, with the music of water in the head and its purity in the eyes. I also had a bit of adventure, as I never tried a descent with harness before. Well … IContinue reading “Discovering Senio River”
