The trek through the olive grove, in the heat of September
Two years ago, when we were just learning our way around

Wasn’t perhaps my finest hour, especially upon learning
That the Basilica of San Salvatore was chiuso (closed).

And the route through the center of town, the bright idea that
I hit upon last year before learning I couldn’t read a map,

Wasn’t much better. But this year, having solved the route
And the hours, who thought to plan on a natural disaster?

From the bottom of the stairs, trust me, the sign says it all.
The key word here, the closer you get, is of course chiusa.
