The food again was served out of various kiosks, some serving game meat or sausage and all with palenta. There was also excellent soup and deserts. The price was reasonable E6,00 per plate and a litre of vino was E4,00 as well. Plenty of grappa was also available in many flavours- apple, blueberry- and of course we tried some of everything.
Entering the village of Frisanco
Lot's of little , pedestrian village streets
And lot's of tables set up the accomodate hungry visitors
We also went into a little museum set up to display miniature buildings built by one of the village senior citizens. These were quite intricate and life-like.
This is his rendition of a church.
Any many more examples
We wondered around the village for a couple of hours, eating here, drinking there.
Our gang excluding the picture taker.
Free buses connected Frisanco with a couple of other villages participating in the Festa and we took one of the 5 minute rides to the village of Poffabro where different food was available. We wanted to try their fish. This was also a very scenic village.
We ate and then walked around a bit so that I could take more pictures.
We ended up back in Frisanco for more grappa- I won't mention how I felt the next day- and watched some dancing to the local bands.
That week, Fiuma Veneto, our home village, had an Ostrich Festa much like the Ostrich festival we had gone to in our old home Chandler, Arizona. At this festa there were no live ostriches, and of course no ostrich races etc, only various versions of cooked ostrich.
We took one of Fab's many aunts with us and had some pretty delicious ostrich food. I had scallops of ostrich, Uwe had an ostrich hamburger and everone else had ostrich sausage and of course the required litre of vino.
Adilla, Fab & Nicole
