MONOPOLI E IL SUO MARE View gallery (30 photos)

My childhood home sent on February 19, 2018 (19:26) by Annamaria Pertosa. 38 comments, 1340 views.

at 105mm, 1/60 f/22.0, ISO 100, hand held. Monopoli (città), Italy.

Non è un caso che io posti questa foto a colori e non in bianco e nero. I colori mi ricordano la mia infanzia, rivedo e risento i profumi di quella lontana stagione della mia vita spensierata e felice. In quella casa (masseria come si chiamano le case di campagna da noi in Puglia), io ci ho trascorso la mia infanzia, ci sono rimasta fino ai vent'anni, quando ho lasciato Monopoli per Milano. Sono sempre stata abbastanza ribelle, e quando finalmente, i miei genitori si convinsero che volevo stare in campagna dai miei nonni paterni e dai miei zii, fui completamente felice. Le mie giornate seguivano il ritmo della vera vita campagnola: sveglia all'alba, frettolosa colazione e giù in un grande locale adiacente la stalla, a vedere il latte trasformarsi in siero, e poi in tante formine bianche che venivano poste su lunghe assi di legno a stagionare. Alle sette una parte di quel latte veniva posto in latte a chiusura ermetica e portato in città. Mi spostavo come una trottola di lì per andare a vedere mia nonna che dava il becchime alle galline, poi andavo nella stalla a trovare i miei amati cavalli e a stressare mio zio perché mi facesse montare un cavallino bianco a larghe chiazze nere. Verso le dieci si componeva la banda di sorelle e cugini per giocare, sull'aia, era tutto un correre e un vociare e, sopra tutti la voce di una delle mie zie che ci richiamava all'ordine. Era bello ritrovarsi a pranzo, mangiare con l'imbuto per correre di nuovo fuori nei campi a giocare. Ancora oggi, quando vado in campagna, dalla mia casa, ripercorro quel viottolo e mi ritrovo davanti alla masseria dei miei nonni, a ricordare episodi di allora: i lunghi pranzi di Natale, le feste e i balli sull'aia della trebbiatura. Le passeggiate sul calesse con i sedili di pelle con mio nonno. La gioia di arrivare in campagna con la mia prima macchina, la 500, regalo di mia nonna per la maturità. Le lunghe serate d'inverno tutti intorno all'immenso camino, e il nonno che raccontava episodi lontani della grande guerra, e agli occhi di noi bambini, di colpo, quell'uomo bianco di capelli, alto e un po' curvo che conservava tracce di un'antica bellezza, diventava un eroe. In lontananza si sentiva il rumore della macchina di mio zio che tornava da Monopoli, l'abbaiare forte dei cani che lo annunciavano, e tutti noi bambini, intorno a lui, a reclamare il moretto della buonanotte (sorta di gelato ricoperto di cioccolato). Ora, intorno a me c'è solo silenzio, quelle voci, ormai tacciono per sempre, ma sono vive nel mio cuore. E sono nuovamente felice, quando vedo comparire sul grande terrazzo, mia cugina che mi chiama a bere il caffè. E' dolcissima, le voglio molto bene anche perché fa rivivere quell'enorme casa con la sua allegra e numerosa famiglia. Commenti, consigli e critiche sempre super graditi, grazie.

Your photos must always be evaluated after reading the caption that accompanies them on time. This poignant story, full of nostalgia, is the youthful story of many of us. I too have experienced my childhood and adolescence in the green of my countryside and woods. Here in Trentino the farms are called

“ masi „

, but the carefree and genuine life was the same. We share a common thread Annamaria dear, we are depositaries of tradition and values ??that unfortunately will disappear into oblivion of time, engulfed by the frenetic, sterile life of the 21st century. Beautiful image that excites me.
bye gios ;-)

I like photography ... and I really appreciated your story ... that brought me back in time when I too, as a child, during the summer holidays I went with my grandmother in the countryside in Romagna to her sister's house a few weeks ... 8-)

It looks like the landscapes of my land: Sicily. It reminds me of the summers as a child in the country house. It makes me feel homesick. A serenity and a way of life of other times. As for your usual: beautiful image.

The colors of memories are those that shine more.
Significant pdr that partially hides the house ... as a memory not completely surfaced.
Beautiful and melancholy.
An affectionate greeting Danilo

From Bolognese married with a Salento, relive atmospheres similar to those of your story in the memories of a girl to whom every now and then my wife is abandoned. Hello
