La Maggiolata was celebrated here on the morning of May 1, starting at the Rocca shortly after midnight and stopping by under my window about 3:30 a.m. All the men singing their welcome to the month of May is not a tourist thing but something that's been done in this village since medieval times.




I can't believe how busy I've been and I hope I'm not in error in thinking that I have up to two months to renew my permesso di soggiorno I'll try to get up to the Siena questura next week. The workers are here doing the cantina now.

After a week of rain at the end of April, we now have spectacular weather. Witness the garden.
