The Cetica Loop
Cetica is a village in our commune high on the steep sides rising up the Pratomagno- an outlier of the Appenines that forms the western flank of the Casentino. Famous for its forest activities (timber and firewood production and earlier charcoal), resistance to the Fascist/Nazi regime and its indigenous red potatoes it has a very particular feel. Not quite Alpine but hardy resilient and independent although most houses I suspect are now summer houses of people with family links to the village.
I motored through trying to persuade the battery in the Clio to take a charge. Half an hour later it could but turn the engine over once. Later I popped down to Stefano who fitted a new battery.
Prime minister Conte is fighting due his political life tonight.
