MONOPOLI E IL SUO MARE View gallery (30 photos)

My childhood home sent on February 19, 2018 (19:26) by Annamaria Pertosa. 38 comments, 1149 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.

When I commented on your photo, you did not finish the caption.
Read the caption I see that we are in Puglia ... very similar landscapes.
To my surprise I see that today we are talking about farms ... I have posted one today.
I join Giuseppe, thanking you for telling us about your childhood.
Best wishes,
George

Well I understand your story, we share, the stories of his grandfather, the joys and the hurried and carefree days that offers life in a country house (and having had the 500).
Congratulations for the story and for the shot.
Antonio.

Bella caption, a childhood in full contact with nature.
Balance, between functionality and taste, between man and nature is evident in this shot.
The farms were built by craftsmen and masons of great skill, who respected a precise architectural and aesthetic style, working the stone and the tuff in an excellent manner.
Among the millennial olive trees one gets the impression of getting lost in an enchanted world. Plants that tell the story of ancient Rome and the Messapians who inhabited these lands and who probably first knew the pleasures and benefits of olive oil.
One click, many stories .., congratulations. Greetings 8-)

Dear Annamaria, dry walls and olive trees also remind me of my countryside, where I spent a few months harvesting and picking olives, when the year was right, the school year for me started late, other times ... .. very beautiful your caption.
