Per la cugina Alda di novantotto anni è sempre stato un intimo tormento sapere che molte delle sue castagne, cadendo sulla carrozzabile che conduceva in paese, quasi inevitabilmente venivano schiacciate dalle ruote delle poche auto che transitavano da quelle parti… soprattutto quando i soliti compaesani avvallavano in mattinata per andare a lavorare nelle fonderie giù in valle… in questo modo diventava una routine giornaliera recarsi con sua sorella sotto i propri castagni la mattina presto e di pomeriggio, per anticipare e salvare questo benedetto frutto dalle impietose ruote pressa-castagne. Il valore dato a questo frutto era davvero importante, tanto da denominarlo “il pane dei poveri”… e non nascondo una certa nostalgia quando da piccino mi rimpinzavo a colazione con castagne secche bollite e latte appena munto. Alcuni di noi, dopo aver riempito il solaio per l'essiccatura e fatto scorta per il maiale… vendevano anche i frutti più belli, giù in valle, il giorno del mercato… il più delle volte per poche lire, soprattutto a chi non conosceva certo il dolore delle spine… conficcate in mani di pietra, temprate dal duro lavoro contadino… Ancora oggi, quando giunge puntuale questa stagione, Alda mi domanda sempre se le sue castagne sono già cadute sui prati vestiti d'autunno o sulla strada maestra… vorrebbe recarsi per raccoglierne un po' e per assaggiarle ancora una volta, soprattutto il “giorno dei Morti”, come da tradizione, anche perché mi rammenta con un certo rigore che le castagne sono un toccasana per la nostra cagionevole salute. Così Alda, sorridendo a modo suo, mi ricorda che ai “suoi tempi”, in autunno, di gente malata non ce n'era… Quando le proferisco per l'ennesima volta che i suoi vetusti castagni sono stati tagliati tempo fa per proteggere la stessa carrozzabile dalla caduta di rami secchi e per salvaguardare le linee ad alta tensione… smorza il suo innocente sorriso, la poca felicità, il ricordo… colmando i suoi occhi grigio azzurro di quell'intima afflizione che mi ricorda tanto la delicatezza della rugiada mattutina…

Unfortunately the day is too short to do everything we would like ... I do not hold it against me, just now, going over more calmly I could read the shining accompanying lines.

Hello bele ';-)

Thank you so much heart for your written interventions! It 'a great pleasure to read you and especially rewarding!
that the younger generation have lost, or rather have not lived .... ... yes, it's a shame not to have known the simplicity of a bygone rural life ...
Once again no thank you personally because you are many, but I embrace with some emotion ...
Have you been able to read the scene and find a particular point of view. ... I had already topped the story even before the pictures ... I happen often ... And the PDR is soo thanks to the wide angle I love it! :-D
Giorgio ... when you want and you'd be a guest of honor! Take a ride in my part, especially in this autumn and give me a shout!
