The Door of Perarolo. Saturday, 16 January 2016. From the post The Birth of the Piave. T the end of my trip to Italy. I spent my time on the flight from Milan. To Stansted airport in the UK thinking about the whole trip. Perhaps, though, not thinking. As it was mainly images that came to mind. Such as this one. Seeing Psalm 103 on a wall inside the tiny chapel atop Monte Peralba was a memory to cherish. I had gone to Italy to research the background of my book The Door of Perarolo. The Birth of the Piave.

The Door of Perarolo. Monday, 27 April 2015. Leaving Belluno for Castelfranco. Isions of places seen during that trip in 1998 - nearly all in Cadore - still haunt my mind. I say 'nearly', because the one place outside of Cadore I can never forget is Belluno. The Casa per Ferie 'Al Centro'. At the beginning of my stay. I was lucky to be directed to 'La Cantina di Bruno' where an excellent evening meal could be washed down with the local vino rosso at a price that wouldn't buy a fish supper in Aberdeen!

The Door of Perarolo. Tuesday, 24 February 2015. Hen drawing up a list towns to visit in Veneto, make sure you. Put Feltre near the top of the list. In the last post I explained that I arrived in Feltre by bicycle, after grabbing hold of the back of a trailer pulled by a passing tractor. But this is not considered to be an acceptable way of arriving into Feltre. Looking up the Via Mezzaterra. Much of the old town dates back to the middle ages. The Via Mezzaterra is truly ancient. A scholar and teacher.
