Romena

12th c Romanesque church nearby. Visited in evening light. The kind of Catholicism that could appeal. A sense of deep but watchful protective peace.

Now cooking steK in the dark. External lighting lacking. Butcher offered me a sliver raw to taste before buying.

Wine shop offered me taste if Rossi Di Montalcino before buying at 4€ a litre. Told me people of mountain village here of Raggiola are by origin from Corsica/Corsaires. They’ll slag your tyres if you go foraging for porcini n their woods. She was from village.

High velocity rifle shot just rang out in the dark. Shut up new arrivals over the valley (briefly).
