Ends with gray skies last week of my summer job in Bologna last installment of "holidays" ... to 13 are immersed in humidity of a nagging drizzle at the station.
With a suitcase full of clothes, I'll be away 9 days, with a discrete change of clothing, and then we have done to save "a suitcase in two " as the saccharine song of Zampaglione. The train to the south of Italy has been booked in advance, using the 30% rate Trenitalia was no place, in short, about 30 € we come direct to Salerno.
are among the guests at a wedding nearby, Nocera Inferiore, to be exact, the surroundings are those of Cava dei Tirreni between Salerno and Pompeii. "Ah, but go to South " I say. But as the South, we are almost in Padania to put the League. Take a road trip to Cefalù , Other whistles, Salerno is almost halfway there. That's south, a little 'how Calabria, 400 km long between snow-capped mountains, downs, curves ... I'm always question those who have never been more down to Florence, and criticizes the South, then maybe bolognesissimi scrub from the IRS consistently do tricks to get around the law (I've got to pitch!) And with friends and winks with Marescia smarchettano great. But I always paid for everything as they are employed by private companies do not pass me even meal vouchers, you think. With these thoughts I take the 'Intercity after 7-hour long journey to get Salerno, station small, all ups and downs, there is a hot umidissimo, practically an oven. Hugs to the station, we caught with the statisticians and go for a pizza. Let the station on Corso Garibaldi straight ahead until you find the Pizza Margherita. Later the waiter greets me. Well, says he knows, but at Salerno when ever we've been? Was the title of 'Pub Hawane of Bologna! The world is really small, and the pizza is something to space, atomic. Very good, what you eat in Bologna seems a sort of flat bread with tomato sauce smeared on it. I'll take the specialty, pizza with fresh basil, along with the magno me tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella ... that know something different from the usual flavors. Olive oil also knows, there are accustomed to. Maybe the restaurant will not be the best for the real purists Salerno on the Internet that make this place the most trash Salerno. Limoncello end, the dough is a bit 'heavy, not as heavy as the discount to us, we see that Bologna is in the heart of who we are to live. Around Salerno by night there are great maraglio , sitting on the sidewalk, but I see people with helmets on scooters, the South can be seen, however, that the kids are at the mercy of complete social decay imposed by the TV made by ten years of ringtones, video poker, with pussy ass naked, feel-good local music and little contact with other realities. I go crazy, maybe now instead of writing the blog I'd be sorting coca for some pusher. Who is at the bottom of the peninsula is isolated from the rest of the world, too bad really. Beautiful places, take the bus to the station of Cava de 'Tirreni, going to knock down the hairpin turns, you already have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe ups and downs of the Salerno area.
arrive at the "Villa Hut", with a pretty tough climb to make, sweaty wet. A shower? No, the water ends up after a few seconds, but nothing potemo nun there, I do not say anything ... use mineral water as I come from seven hours by train. We are in a well kept, elegant look, put us in a really nice room, with balcony, view valley and olive groves.
Air conditioning throttle all night, otherwise we do not sleep. Wake up early in the morning, I make a breakfast with plenty of water, little food. Peek through the curtains what to prepare for the wedding reception. I see mozzarella in a megabacinella to keep them fresh ... In fact, there are farms around buffaloes! . Slurp the first preparations for the "receipt" or "refresh". The church is limited to 20 minutes by car, a new building complete with air conditioning, already on the infernal heat that already seen at 10 marks more than 30 °. Parked behind a species under a roof for the market, at least we keep the machines in the shade of the guests. In front is the bar-club with some shady street urchin fixing all the strangers raddled. Evidence of the songs, comes the "Perpetual" dressed with local mesh Bart Simpsons (with a "cucciatemi sock") that alleges that one of the guests who sends text messages inside the House of the Lord. Even her clothing is not really suitable for a function, we have become accustomed to the criticism go in one direction only and that ear for many years now that no one feels more. Accept any criticism without burning up and pissed off like cats sprayed with water!
among the most moving ceremony I have ever seen, Nocera Lower, with the chorus that sees me as a singer. We are 4 boys in the choir, lower voices, the songs are two-part male / female. We heat the uvula from the start, to the tune of hallelujah, glory, as a seal (the Song of Solomon , mica pizza & figs), and so on. Out of the trees that provide shade are already taken, I bake in the sun waiting for the newlyweds, and avoid touching the design on the floor with rose petals and rice on the ground.
Hot, hot, even during the "buffet" there is shelter in the shadow of the tents, now the bell is prontooo! " Lunch is inside with air conditioning.
parties, balls, trains with traditional songs, or Sarracinoooo .
excellent wine of Benevento, in the evening we greet everyone, including husband which is now finished in the water, and running to the station in Naples .... I await the holidays. W the bride and groom!
