10/15/22 Piedmont driving tour

Greetings from beautiful La Morra Italy.

As you already know, we lovingly call Cindy Tour Guide Cindy, as she plans all our trips. I’m just along for food and beverage services. Today, Tour Guide Cindy says, driving tour! So off to the trusty Peugeot we go.

Unfortunately, an air inversion is happening here as they haven’t had rain in over 6 months so skies are almost red and the smoke clouds our views, but we try.

Shrines every 1/2 mile or so.

Cindy takes us up and over the hills, which are very steep and the roads basically one lane. Try driving a one lane hilly road with a ninety year old Italian woman, driving a 1988 Fiat Panda, coming right at ya🙏🏻

Leading to this church

We wind our way across the hills, hundreds of farms and the barns/stables abandoned. Your Italian dream renovation is waiting for you and your money.

Easy renovation, little paint, off ya go!

We stopped at several small villages. Each village has a market day when the vendors bring their goods to each village. Today was market day in Murazzano.

Murazzano
Meats and cheeses
Produce
The village has many different vendors, including clothes. Remember, lots of folks here don’t have cars and have to take the bus hours to get anywhere.
In every village in Italy and France in the town square you see a memorial to the young men who died in WW1 and WW2. These villages lost a huge part of the young men to the tragedy of war. In some small villages 50% of the male population was killed in WW1 especially.
Beautiful views, unfortunate for the smoke.
Neive , beautiful
Ok, enough for one day. Wine tasting on Saturday and White truffle festival on Sunday. Hoping I’ve brought along some stretch pants😎👍✔️🍷

Ciao Ciao 😎
