Schignano's expressions on verdi pascoli

Gli aranci sono grossi, i limoni sono rossi, lassù lassù nei verdi pascoli

Just a little bit outside the Lariano triangle and before arriving in Val d’Intelvi, start climbing from Argegno, there is the village of Schignano.

Ogni angelo è un bambino sporco e birichino lassù lassù nei verdi pascoli

Ok, we are arrived, we are four: Michele, Aurora, Mariano e Andrea and we reach the village by using a Zoe electric car.

E ora non piangere perché, presto la notte finirà con le sue perle stelle e strisce in fondo al cielo

At the first fork, we take the direction to “Sentiero delle Espressioni”, a path studded of wood sculptures

e ora sorridimi perché, presto la notte se ne andrà con le sue stelle arrugginite , in fondo al mare

after a couple of kilometer, we come across the first shelter, with its guardian cow

La radio suona sempre canzoni da ballare lassù lassù nei verdi pascoli

continuing to rise, we find ourselves in front of a beautiful birch tree woods

niente da scommettere tutto da giocare lassù lassù nei verdi pascoli

after a couple of hours of mild walking we arrive at the second Alp, where we have a sunny outdoor lunch

Non c’è d’andare a scuola, ti basta una parola lassù lassù nei verdi pascoli
c’è carne da mangiare, erba da sognare lassù lassù nei verdi pascoli

as an exercise to digest, we get back on the road, and after a nice climb we reach the summit and the landscape opens up. The view is extremely wide: we see almost the west side of Como lake branch, and the mind get calm…
