Cala Portavecchia a Monopoli, è a due passi da casa mia. Un posto a me, molto caro, perché ci venivo a studiare con le amiche, quando stanche, di stare rintanate in casa, venivamo qui con le “nostre sudate carte” per dirla col Leopardi. Questi scogli e questo mare, conoscono tutti i nostri piccoli segreti di allora, le gioie, le paure, le speranze. Una luna impicciona e un po' ruffiana, ha fatto da testimone, a belle serate romantiche, quando si usava ancora passeggiare mano nella mano e guardare l'orologio per rispettare l'ora del rientro a casa. Mio padre, buonissimo, ma rigido come un militare qual era, non transigeva. Ricordo un episodio che fece andare i miei genitori fuori dai “gangheri”: luglio 1968 esame di maturità, inderogabilmente appena finite le prove scritte o orali che fossero, anzicché andare subito a casa a tranquillizzare i miei, io venivo qui a tuffarmi e a farmi una lunga e rilassante nuotata. Nonostante la paura e lo stress degli esami, non dimenticavo mai la mattina, di mettere il costume sotto la divisa scolastica, prima di uscire di casa. Morale della favola: rivedo ancora mio padre, sugli scogli, che si sbracciava a chiamarmi. Sono passati tanti anni da quel lontano 1968, l'anno dopo lasciai Monopoli per studiare a Milano all'Università Cattolica. Poi, ci sono rimasta per lavoro e di lì in giro per il mondo, ma tutte le volte che torno a casa, è questo il luogo dove vengo subito, ed è questo il posto che ancora oggi, non dimentico mai di salutare prima di ripartire. Critiche e commenti sempre super graditi. Grazie.
