Dopo molti anni sono tornata nella casa dove sono nata, con mia madre e la mia amica d’infanzia.
After many years I returned to the house where I was born, my mother and mychildhood friend.

Era davvero tanto bella, nel cuore del chianti, e bella è stata anche la mia infanzia in questo posto.
Aperta campagna per correre e saltare, e cercare girini nel ruscello,……e l’odore di uva da vin santo in piccionaia (senza piccioni ma la chiamavamo così).

It really was so beautiful, in the heart of Chianti, and beautiful was also my childhood in this place.
Open country to run and jump, and try tadpoles in the stream, ...... and the smell ofsweet wine grapes in the pigeon (no pigeons but called them).
...e il cortile interno con il nespolo piantato da mia mamma,
i tanti fiori che lei coltivava, il forno dove faceva il pane e i tetti dove era facile salire.
and ... the courtyard with the medlar planted by my mother,
the many flowers that she cultivated the oven where the bread and the roof where hewas easy to climb.
Dal cortile si entrava in casa, nella cucina, adesso ci sono 2 ingressi e hanno pure aperto un’altra finestra.
Dalla parte opposta si accedeva alle scale che portavano alle 2 cantine della torre passando dal pollaio; c'era anche una stanza sotto il forno dove io tenevo la mia spada di legno che adoravo, ma anche l’arco e le frecce, i miei giochi da bambina.
From the courtyard into the house, the kitchen, now there are 2 inputs, and have also opened another window.
On the other side gave access to the stairs that led to the 2 basements of the towerrising from the house; there was a room under the oven where I kept my wooden sword that I loved, but also the bow and arrows, my games as a child.
La torre era fantastica, aveva 5 piani, le 2 cantine una sopra l’altra e in quella + bassa c’era una grande roccia sopra alla quale è stata costruita la casa, poi c’era la stanza che usavamo come rimessa al piano terreno, e al primo piano una camera bellissima con doppia finestra, una a est e una a ovest, e l’ultimo piano la soffitta o piccionaia dove mio padre teneva l’uva a seccare per fare il vin santo a febbraio, e le botti, era una stanza con polvere e cose che non servivano ma anche un posto magico per me, dove mi rifugiavo a frugare tutto quello che c'era, ho sempre amato tantissimo frugare, e ancora non ne perdo occasione.
The tower was fantastic, had 5 floors, 2 basements over each other and in the low +there was a large rock on which the house was built, then there was the room we used as a throw on the ground floor , and the first floor a beautiful room with double windows, one to the east and west, and the top floor where the attic or pigeon Myfather kept the grapes to dry to make vin santo in February, and the barrels, was a room with dust and things that were not needed but also a magical place for me, where I took refuge in what was poking around, I always loved so much rummaging,and still not lose the occasion.
Che bei ricordi che ho,
dell’infanzia naturalmente,
nell’adolescenza non ero + così felice di vivere lì,
non c’erano comodità e mi sembrava che mi mancava un sacco cose quando in verità avevo tutto, no forse tutto no, forse è vero che mi mancava tante cose, sicuramente la maturità per apprezzare quel posto.
What wonderful memories I have,
course of childhood,
+ adolescence was not so happy to live there,
there was no comfort and I felt like I missed a lot things when in truth I had everything,or maybe not everything, maybe it's true that I missed so many things, surely the maturity to appreciate the place.***translation from google translate***
Ciao Paola :D che belle foto...è un vero piacere trovare persone nuove che amano la mia Terra :D...chissà, magari un giorno riusciremo a fare un mega raduno sardo tra blogger :)

Si, doveva essere un posto bellissimo. Ma è normale non apprezzare quello che si ha se sei troppo giovane, sei irrequieto e vuoi altro.
RispondiEliminaWhat a beautiful post with beautiful photos. You are right. Sometimes we just have to mature before we learn to appreciate some things. It sounds like you are living such a happy life. What a gift.
RispondiEliminaSo beautiful! I think when we're young we don't always take time to stop and consider the beauty and all we have.
RispondiEliminagrazie mille belle donne, e la vita passa....comunque anche dove sono ora non è male. vi abbraccio tutte
RispondiEliminaThose are some great photographs you have. The tower does seem great and magnificent.
RispondiEliminaWhat a beautiful world you live in. Enjoy. Love your wonderful outlook on life and also love your photographs.

RispondiEliminaPaola,
RispondiEliminaYour pictures are beautiful. What an extraordinary place to have grown up. Congratulations on returning and being able to see it with new eyes.
Peace and good to you.
I'm sorry for my new friends if you did not use the translator, my English is not very good and I find it a bit 'complicated for the post in two languages. However, I would use google translate. Thanks so much for the visit and the nice comments you left me.
RispondiEliminaMolto bella. Mi piacerebbe vedere l'immagine del basamento con la roccia è stata costruita la casa.
RispondiEliminaAnch'io ho bei ricordi della mia casa nonni. Ho usato per correre e giocare sulla loro proprietà. Inoltre è cresciuta uva. Mia mamma ha quel vitigno a casa sua ora.
Grazie per la condivisione. Ho tradotto questo con Google Translate quindi spero che abbia senso!
Where you grew up is beautiful. I would have loved to have grown up in such a beautiful place. It must have been fun to explore such a house. Your photos are beautiful also. Thank goodness for google translator! I was able to read your post. Thank you so very much for taking the time and effort to visit my blog and comment.

Ricordo la casa di mio nonno che viveva in Ancona. L'Italia è bella.
RispondiEliminaI really enjoyed the pictures and the post. It made me feel like I was there, taken to another world! Thanks for sharing and for providing the translator!
RispondiEliminasì l'Italia è molto bella specialmente la sardegna
RispondiEliminabeautiful pictures
RispondiEliminaThe church looks like it's been there for centuries. Gorgeous.
RispondiEliminaThat looks like a great place to grow up at. The tower would be so much fun to roam around in. It's too bad we don't appreciate what we have when we are young, but maybe that is what makes looking back all that special.
RispondiEliminaI would love to go visit a beautiful place like this!
RispondiEliminaI feel very left out, very curious, and very stupid. lol Lovely pictures. Evidently you lived there. Thanks for sharing. Deb

RispondiEliminaI also grew up in a beautiful place. And like you, I didn't realize I grew up in such a wonderful place until I was much older. Thank you for sharing!
RispondiEliminaThese are wonderful pictures! I always love learning about other cultures and differnt countries.
RispondiEliminaSo many times we don't appreciate what we have until we're older.
