<\/a>Could there be anything of interest in a village of about six hundred inhabitants?
\n
\n<\/a>As in the rest of Italy, there will most likely be a church — more or less attractive, and very often well maintained.
\n
\n<\/a>There may be a curious old civic building, though not necessarily restored.
\n
\n<\/a>There will probably be a cemetery with some original features. It is not only about the headstones: in general, I like Italian cemeteries because they are orderly, clean, and aesthetically pleasing.
\n
\n<\/a>There might also be a bench — perhaps even an attractive and slightly original one.
\n
\n<\/a>There could be a sports ground as well, in many cases clearly abandoned for years.
\n
\n<\/a>An interurban bus stop will be present in 99% of cases because, as you may already have guessed, one has to go elsewhere to reach larger towns and find at least a trace of meaningful and interesting life.
\n
\n<\/a>Meanwhile, in small villages, the councillor responsible for urban planning may publicly display his affection for one of the well-known football clubs.
\n
\n<\/a>But even the smallest and most apparently useless village in the world must have its own source of pride…
\n
\nThat said, I can think of a rather large country that boasts of its natural resources because it is no longer able to offer the world intellectual achievements worthy of even moderately universal attention. The whole world is much the same.
\nAnd that is all. I am not sure how many small villages you would need to visit before finding something genuinely interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
