Calcata, Lazio, Italia

And Italy remains the last bastion of the old world, where a piece of art and culture remains visible in many angles in the pasta land.

Luckily enough, me mates, their owning vehicles and us non-italian students no, took us the a "borgo medioevale", a medieval bourg. Perfect location too: only fourty five kilometres from the capital Rome, and petite enough to be explored on a day trip.

Too bad the restaurants, too overcrowded and understaffed, remains a delusion to us who had to wait two hours. Hence, ordering at two pm meaning we got to munch at four in the (quasi) early evening. We're almost ready to order for dinnner.

No, the hispanic chef lady was nice enough to cajole us, to our content, with a couple of extra plates on the house. As well as dolci (desserts) on the same terms, at our choice.

...

The old centre (centro) appears splendidly preserved, enlivened by street musicians playing waltz tunes attempting to lure Romans to part coins into the guitar case.


nb. comments appreciated. ciao ciao from Italiaaaaaaaaaa.
