Exploring the Woods of Monte Mezza and the Alpine Church - Discovering Italy with alequandro!

titolo.jpg

It was August, the sun was setting and I had just completed an excursion, but I was still full of desire to explore, so I drove for half an hour to reach a beautiful area surrounded by woods and pastures on Monte Mezza at 1650 meters above sea level ... it was a great idea.

ITA

Era agosto, il sole stava tramontando e avevo appena ultimato un'escursione, ma era ancora carico di voglia di esplorare, così ho guidato una mezzoretta per raggiungere un bellissima zona immersa tra boschi e pascoli sul monte Mezza a 1650 metri di altitudine...è stata una bella idea.

To interrupt the beautiful sinuous and green hills there were houses mostly of families on vacation.
I admit that I didn't feel like walking, I was really tired, but I don't know how, even if the idea was to take a couple of pictures and leave, I started walking...

ITA

Ad interrompere bellissime colline sinuose e verdi c'erano casette per lo più di famiglie in vacanza.
Ammetto che non avevo nessuna voglia di camminare, ero veramente stanco, ma non so come, anche se l'idea era di scattare un paio di foto e andarmene, ho cominciato a camminare...

The asphalted road slipped into the woods and I kept walking...

ITA

La strada asfaltata si infilava nel bosco e io ho continuato a camminare...

The feeling of peace was too pleasant and in that atmosphere I felt less fatigue.

Era troppo piacevole la sensazione di pace e in quell'atmosfera sentivo meno la fatica.

Between there and back I will have walked at least an hour!

ITA

Tra andata e ritorno avrò camminato almeno un'ora!

P1510339.jpg

Exhausted, I got back in the car, convinced that I was driving straight home, but it didn't happen like that!

ITA

Ormai esausto sono risalito in macchina convinto di guidare dritto verso casa, ma non è andata così!

Just after two minutes of driving I noticed a sign indicating the presence of an Alpine church...I didn't stay and I stopped just five minutes...I thought, if I don't stop now, when will I be back ?!

ITA

Appena dopo due minuti di guida mi sono accorto di un cartello dove indicava la presenza di una chiesa alpina...non ho restito e mi sono fermato giusto cinque minuti...ho pensato, se non mi fermo ora, quando ci tornerò?!

P1510341.jpg

After a short road of stones, and passed a small wooden gate, I arrived at the church.

ITA

Dopo una breve stradina di sassi, e superato un piccolo cancello di legno, sono arrivato alla chiesetta.

There was a wooden fountain and the small church, very simple and proportionate.

ITA

C'era una fontana di legno e la piccola chiesetta, molto semplice e proporzionata.

The fountain was all sculpted, I washed my hands with the fresh water that gushed from the mouth of that silent gnome.

ITA

La fontana era tutta scolpita, mi sono lavato le mani con l'acqua fresca che sgorgava dalla bocca di quello gnomo silenzioso.

Well I was dead tired, it was time to go home, but I was really satisfied!

ITA

Beh ero stanco morto, era arrivata l'ora di tornare a casa, ma ero davvero soddisfatto!
