WALK-OFF YEAR FOR

Fabio Cappelli

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.
Exactly 12 hours later from when we were greeted in the direction of bed, gathered at 14:30 to start the walk post-New Year's dinner time to cut calories too similar night time!.
The characters: I, Francesca, Leonardo, Oana, Linda and Leo (dog wimp), the mysterious sources Pancole destination.
the Parterre on the left
Inspired by an article appeared on a blog friend, our Argonauts must have had to wear rubber boots fully waterproof, good for two reasons, 1 the incessant rains in recent days have made the fields in the swamps, 2nd reason is that in order to make a visit to the site must enter and stay in an environment with a layer of water on the floor in some places may have a height of 10cm!
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
sources Pancole Finally, a brick structure, see the ancient, largely covered by vegetation and in a state, in my opinion, guilty of having abandoned the historical importance of the article, that some even date back to Etruscan times!
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!
sources Pancole tank -
Who knows how much life has gone in, how many generations have drawn from that source quench souls and throats!
sources Pancole - time cross
However, the directions to bring a good pair of rubber boots were more than justified, the bottom of the first room we enter is an unceasing flow of clear water that submerges us to the foot, in front of a small ravine from where water flows abundantly, in practice it is the source itself, which even today after so many centuries is alive and springing, in the ground, a series of electric motors in use, remnants of the past not far away, used to channel the precious liquid from a tank on the right depth estimated at 2.5 ml, filled, of a beautiful blue, the ceiling is made at times from which hang small limestone stalactites!
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.
Church of St. Peter at the Sources
gait decided to continue with the underworld, another place of memories, in the shadow of the campanile of San Pietro in fact they are consumed battles between clans of young Shalesi blows of slings and clouds of dust, including makeshift bunkers and tunnels in the ground, dug by someone! The last effort by the legs, saw the rise to the church where we can enjoy a full view of the country and in fact put an end to our walk, under a sky of clouds and rippling orange tones of the approaching sunset .
