Afraid we would be late, we scuffled out the door and met Anika at Piazza Venti Settembre by 8:30am. In the quite cool morning we walked to the area where we would meet Nino. Nino is a farmer, honey producer, and volunteer. After waiting an hour for Nino, he arrived an hour later, joking that Germans and Americans are always on time and that the Italians always show up until a bit later. Gesturing his hands towards the vines he said, “This, is it,” explaining that the vines are old and once belonged to the nearby church. At some point, the vines had been abandoned but when the church wanted to turn the space into parking, volunteers from Piedi per Terra  (The Feet of the Earth Association) stepped forward. Together, they worked towards reclaiming and caring for the land. <br/><br/>The morning sun touched our skins and we all began to shed some layers. We were about ten people in total, the young, and the elder. Together we picked a few different types of red grapes that would become a blend by and for the association. The day carried on with song and cutting. Beauty, pure bliss. With the last few containers loaded on the truck, we relaxed to enjoy a snack of baguette, bagna cuada, salami and crisp white wine, which was perfect as the sun began to warm our skin. Finishing up around mid afternoon, we got in the car headed towards the association in Riva, just outside Bra. It is hard to explain my experience but what I can say is that, everyday is a new day, and I am extremely blessed to be living a dream: </p> <p><span class="Apple-style-span">Here I am 23 years young, waking up early in the morning in Italy, where I live. I went to pick grapes, sang in a vineyard old Italian songs (or tried, knowing what I had learned from Cant</span><span class="Apple-style-span">è j’euv (</span><span class="Apple-style-span">Singing for the Eggs), eating and drinking wonderful wonders. Later, we went to a farm, where I crushed the grapes with my feet, drank the fresh juice I had just smashed, and all the while talked and sang in Italian, nonetheless. Together, with my two friends, and new friends, we laughed, sang, and got very sticky. A beautiful day, indeed, by late afternoon, early evening, we joined at the table for a filling meal of peperoncini con le acciughe (roasted bell peppers with sardines), and mixture of fresh vegetables and chicken tossed with olive oil. Our next course was pollenta, gorgonzola, and more peperoncini (red, yellow, and green bell peppers) which was followed by coffee and a digestive called Ribes (made from currants). All the while, we talked about University, farming, food, America, Italy, and Germany. We talked about all sorts of things, and that is the beauty of the table. A table has the power to bring people from all different backgrounds and opinions together.<br/><br/>My mother would say, and her mother too, that this is the type of weather, and experience, that gives one wanderlust. And that, it did. That, it did.</span></p>http://stacymarie.tumblr.com/post/31724792302http://stacymarie.tumblr.com/post/31724792302Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:37:00 +0200<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7029ncVK1qb08wko1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7029ncVK1qb08wko2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7029ncVK1qb08wko3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7029ncVK1qb08wko4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7029ncVK1qb08wko5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7029ncVK1qb08wko6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7029ncVK1qb08wko7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7029ncVK1qb08wko8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7029ncVK1qb08wko9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>UNISG Stage Veneto, Crespadora & Asiago.
