Photographer's comments:

"This typical Italian village reminds me of a famous poem entitled San Martino by the famous Italian poet Giosuè Carducci.
Saint Martin's Day, by Giosue Carducci, from "Rime Nuove", 1887

The fog to the bare hills
soars in the thin rain,
and below the wind
howls and churns the sea;

yet through the hamlet's alleys
from the fermenting casks
goes the pungent scent of wines
to touch a soul with glee.

On the firewood, turns
the skewer crackling:
stands the hunter whistling,
on the threshold to see

in the reddening clouds
flocks of black birds,
like exiled thoughts
as in the dusk they flee."
