Ferragosto - the Italian summer bank holiday - is upon us, and as was the case last year, it marks the virtual end of our social life and the beginning of the annual retreat into isolation . Tony and Shona Rogers went home at the end of July, John and Judy Cairns on the second of August and Jane Fineren and her guests Derek and Maddy on the 7th. With the exception of Norman & Jayne who arrived on the 4th and go back to England on Thursday, term’s over for the dayboys.
August was enlivened by two birthdays at the opposite ends of the age scale: Ruby’s first birthday on the 3rd and John Conway’s seventieth yesterday. We’ve been to four concerts in the Tronelli gardens in July and August. The one yesterday evening was packed out, but the others were only sparsely attended. Last Wednesday and Friday we visited the Morandi & Licini exhibition taking place in Fermo and Monte Vidon Corrado.
Update: Make that six concerts. Summerfest Live 2011 concluded with a piano-accordion recital on the 18th - sparsely attended, alas - and on the 28th we went to hear the Guitar Orchestra in the Church of Santa Caterina in Smerillo. It attracted a decent audience.
