Perched up on a hill top just off the old Flaminia Way is my "home" Casigliano di Strettura. It is a very small hamlet where time seems to have stopped and where today the locals still celebrate the FESTA DI SAN MARCO. The village's tiny church of San Marco is prepared for the day, biscuits "biscotti di San Marco" are baked to be blessed and shared by everyone . For locals it is an occasion to come together as a community and to pray to the Saint for a bountiful harvest. Oh boy how I remember this special day!!



Grazie mille zio Maurizio e ciao a tutti a Casigliano
