Today, 25 Aprile, is celebrated as a national holiday:
Festa della Liberazione, as all the many posters say.
Our routine remains the same: Cappuccino at the Cioccolateria.
Then, since good weather holds, we climb the hills and circle the Rocca.
The only change: we adjust our schedule to arrive on Italian time
At Piazza della Libertà, the site of today’s town ceremony.
- Town officials, public servants, and a crowd of elders (like the one in the park, at the start of this series)
