Marcorino is the name of the hill just outside the gates of Neive where the house and a few others are located. Here are a few shots from around Neive.
Blogger is sort of messing with formatting so hopefully my descriptions are clear enough to figure out the few photos.
First there is via Cavour as I walk away for our driveway. The house on the left has been under construction forever. ( THINGS take FOREVER here). The building with green shutters is one of my favorites. It has been renovated from when it was built 300 or 500 years ago or so. The most obvious sign of the renovation is the re motaring of the bricks which makes the final facade so smooth compared to the old.
One shot shows the intersection where we must make a three point turn to turn left every day. The Rocca's who live there have been there since the grandparents generation were in school here. The shot with the Ivy covered building includes also one of the four churches in the upper village ( two are small chapels). There are fives churches if you count the small Macedonian orthodox church - which I only know as a standard looking wooden doorway into a building also occupied by a seamstress. Finally, I just liked the entryway on the pink building.
OK the photos are in reverse order as they were showing as I wrote....
ReplyDeleteI have had the same photo issue and just finished a post I started over on twice and then did the whole thing in reverse just to get it right, at least I am learning to edit html : )
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are great I love the green shutters. I can't believe it's been a month but it's good to hear all about it.
