Inspired by a lovely walk near our home in Valdantena<\/a><\/span><\/strong> I wanted to try and find an Italian autumn poem. However, unable to unearth anything that seemed to fit with what I had in mind, I eventually decided to write something myself, assisted by Geoff’s photos. Eccolo<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1. Una mattina apriamo gli scuri e scopriamo che durante la notte il paesaggio tutt\u2019intorno a noi ha cambiato aspetto come per incanto. Le verdi montagne si sono trasformate in un tripudio di colori fiammanti: gialli, ocra, ruggine. I loro contorni si stagliano netti contro il cielo terso di un azzurro intenso.<\/strong>
\n1. One morning we open the shutters to discover that during the night the landscape all around us has changed as if by magic. The green mountains have transformed themselves into a riot of flaming colours: yellows, okras, russets. Their contours stand out crisply against the clear sky of intense blue.<\/p>\n

\"Paesaggio\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Il sole \u00e8 ancora abbastanza caldo malgrado sia novembre inoltrato, e cos\u00ec decidiamo di fare una passeggiata nei boschi.<\/strong>
\n2. Despite the fact that we are well into November, the sun is still fairly warm, so we decide to go for a walk in the woods.<\/p>\n

\"Passeggiata\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Il sottobosco \u00e8 ricoperto di foglie morte e di castagne, molte ancora racchiuse nei loro ricci spinosi. Sono cos\u00ec invitanti, che non possiamo resistere e ci riempiamo gli zaini dei frutti saporiti.<\/strong>
\n3. The undergrowth is covered with dead leaves and chestnuts, many of which are still enclosed in their spiky shells. They are so inviting, that we can’t resist them and fill up our backpacks with the tasty fruit.<\/p>\n

\"Sottobosco\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Il ruscello scorre tranquillo tra sassi rotondi ed enormi massi, contornato da olmi e pioppi vestiti nei loro colori autunnali.<\/strong>
\n4. The stream flows tranquil amongst round stones and huge boulders, surrounded by elms and poplars dressed in their autumnal clothes.<\/p>\n

\"Torrente<\/a><\/p>\n

5. I tronchi bianchi di giovani betulle creano un motivo geometrico, mentre il sole si infiltra fra le loro chiome rade.<\/strong>
\n5. The white trunks of young birch trees create a geometrical pattern, and the sun sneaks through their sparse foliage.<\/p>\n

\"Betulle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6. E\u2019 ora di fare una piccola sosta, ed ecco apparire un vecchio casone in sasso. Se un folletto uscisse dalla sua porta\u00a0 diroccata, ci sembrerebbe la cosa pi\u00f9 naturale del mondo.<\/strong>
\n6. It’s time to take a short break, and at that point an old stone barn appears. If an elf came out of its derelict door, it would seem the most natural thing in the world.<\/p>\n

\"Casone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Le creature magiche non mancano di sicuro: ecco che un viso contorto dal riso ci guarda dal tronco di un castagno secco.<\/strong>
\n7. There’s no lack of magic creatures, that’s for sure: here, a face contorted by laughter watches us from the trunk of a dead chestnut tree.<\/p>\n

8. Il sentiero sbuca nuovamente all\u2019aperto e ci torna incontro il cielo turchino incorniciato dai profili delle montagne.<\/strong>
\n8. The track leads back out into the open, and we are greeted by the turquoise sky framed by the silhouette of the mountains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Da un\u2019apertura fra gli alberi vediamo lo scorcio del nostro paesino: due strisce di case in sasso coi tetti in tegole rosse. Siamo quasi a casa.<\/strong>
\n9. From an opening through the trees we catch a glimpse of our little village: two lines of stone houses with red tiled roofs. We’re almost home.<\/p>\n
