SCALE - Saturday, January 1, 2011
The first day of the year has opened in a 'sleepy atmosphere, a consequence of the small hours of the night before.
The characters: I, Francesca, Leonardo, Oana, Linda and Leo (dog wimp), the mysterious sources Pancole destination.
the Parterre on the left |
from La Scala, we headed into town to the sources, that even if they are not the sources Pancole, the name still seems promising!
Passing the establishment of Generosa, once used bottled water (which there flowed and pure still spring) and that for many years in a state of neglect, we went to the crossroads where the roads leading in order from left to right in the church of St. Peter to the sources, Mori house, church S. Lorenzo in Nocicchio, and as the truth as the ancients said Romania is in the middle, the merry party has taken the middle path, beginning a dirt path uphill.
In this first section, near a group of houses on the left, were also noticed the foundations on which the homes feature brick arches of ancient craftsmanship, both as unknown in pregiovoli their origin.
pulling forward, and finally we are close to Mori's house, here the main road (unpaved but well beaten), turn 90 degrees to the left, but it should be ignored, because the sudden interest of the group is in the opposite direction, with a slope beginning to get lost in the green grass field and between the patches of mud that emerge here and there, sometimes making a smooth journey!
sources Pancole - input |
climbing a flight of slippery ground soaked with water and covered by water, we enter, we hold the look almost everywhere to enjoy the view of an environment out of time.
Ah! if the bricks were heading!

After this fascinating and unusual visit to a place so full of charm, proseguimo between grass and mud to another place that seems suspended in limbo, the Parterre, for some of us a return on the scene, an old acquaintance of picnics and snacks adoloscenziali age, an island of green surrounded by cultivated fields, one of those strange places that seem to converge to if the power lines, we pause for a while, time to bring out some memory about the place and then again on the way beyond the halfway point in the direction of home. The
sees a return to the path variation, which trace back instead of going the way of making a detour to the Villa, also linked to childhood place of many Scales, this mighty building overlooking the valley below, contains in itself some kind of secret!
I pass by, the skirt dusting off some anecdote to its most famous tenants and continue down to what was once known as the Circle of the field, because here a few years ago were organized festivals of the unit and holidays in summer and met a lot of people saw Scala, now everything has gone down in history, that land is not nothing but memory, that space was occupied by new buildings and new residents.
