| I have just left the main road to S. Ellero and the sensation of drawing close to my journey's end overcomes the mounting tiredness. I look around me, trying to remember the images that induced me to choose Pitiana for my holiday. When I pass the last houses at Donnini, I see it, and there is no further need to remember: I know that the yellow villa in front of me is Pitiana. I wrote yellow automatically, because this colour, in all its shades, has pursued me at every turn.The countryside around the villa is dotted with yellow too, the colours of the Roman camomile, yarrow and dandelion flowers: their colours and scents crown the other plants enriching the dishes I tasted during my stay. In fact it is this dominant taste which brings to mind the flavour of the oil produced by the farm, present in the food and on the table. In this oil you can almost see the sun, with its enchanting changes of colour at sunset. |
