Third Ecological Day
29 June 2008
“Freccianera” - Mario Di Fabrizio di peppaune
On Sunday 29th June, the third ecological day was held and over sixty volunteers took part. There were members of the Alpinists Group, members of the Proloco, common citizens and members of the Town Hall Administration, all of whom met up early in the morning and continued the clean-up work of the village. This time they worked on the South side of the Pinewood, where the little open-air theatre is located and the new area for refreshments, which has been built at the back of the little sports fields. The cleaning up went as far as the lower part of the Pinewood that lies near the Cemetery and the Fonte of Falloscoso. At about 9:30 the women arrived bringing drinks and rolls for a short restorative pause. The sun was high in the clear sky and it was really hot, the volunteers were dripping with sweat but in their eyes was a look, which told of their satisfaction and pride in the work they were carrying out. Speaking with some of them, I understood how great is their desire to see the village once more at the height of its splendour, and they realised too that much is already being done to that effect. At 14:00 hours, the work ceased and the volunteers met in the little Pinewood near to the Alpinists Chapel for a well-deserved meal. Despite being very tired, these men and women never ceased to smile - and we owe them a debt of gratitude and thanks for their involvement and for the example they gave of “true” attachment to this, our village, and to these splendid locations.
