Il segreto dell’acqua fallata - a book
2006 | Filed Under Italy | 2 Comments
One of the things I did this summer was read several books, but by far the most interesting happened to be by an Italian called Guido Rosti Cesari. This writer, who has also written a number of technical publications, and works, I believe in the water industry, could not find a publisher here in Italy and so decided to publish his book himself. I, for one, am very glad he did for his book is a gem.

The giant awakes

Milan, according to the telly news, has filled up with inhabitants all back from their summer hols, only there is not much traffic around and there are still plenty of vacant parking spaces and many shops are still shut up tight. So the news is wrong.

Genova etc

As I mentioned briefly in my previous post, we spent some time during our summer hols in and around Genova. Genova, or Genoa as it is for some unknown reason known in English, is, yes, it still is, a port town on the north Italian coast. It’s quite an interesting place because it is rather long and thin as cities go, due manly to the fact that there are a series of hills right on its back doorstep. This has meant that expanding inland was not really feasible, but expanding sideways has worked just fine.

We got back to Milan after our summer break, which was spent mostly between Genova and a little place called Ponteinvrea near Albisola, which is near Savona, if that helps. Not much to report, although I’ll scribble a little about the hols and other things shortly.
