Aprile 2024

Siamo a Vernante in Piemonte, e più precisamente in provincia di Cuneo. Proprio qui, nella suggestiva cornice del Parco delle Alpi Marittime che si distingue per essere impreziosito da alberi, torrenti e laghi, prende vita Vernante, considerato il “paese di Pinocchio”. Il legame tra il borgo e questo personaggio di fantasia sussiste poiché da queste parti visse Attilio Mussino, il pittore soprannominato “lo zio di Pinocchio”, colui che illustrò il celebre libro scritto da Carlo Lorenzini, detto Carlo Collodi. L’uomo si trasferì in questa graziosa località del Nord Italia in seguito alla perdita del figlio e della moglie, e qui restò fino alla sua morte, nel 1954.

Nelle foto anche i resti del Castello del 1200

Come è andata la cena ieri sera? Con questo bellissimo #murales di #Pinocchio che si trova in un piccolo #paese di #montagna #Vernante per andare in #francia volevo ricordarvi l'importanza di non saltare mai nessun #pasto che può essere l'occasione anche di trascorrere un po' di tempo con le #persone a noi più care. #buonweekend (presso Vernante) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq1gcoUHJth/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uq71tizj01tc

La cosa bella di suonare per strada è lo sguardo delle persone. C'è chi passa vicinissimo facendo finta di niente, chi si ferma un momento e ti lascia un sorriso e chi si siede ad ascoltare tutte le canzoni. Video di Vincenzo, amico musicista conosciuto durante la performance a Vernante. "Se perdo l'equilibrio sbatto le ali..." #CapitanGruccia #Vernante #Strada #LeOche

Oggi mi trovate a suonare per le strade di Vernante, tra bancarelle, passanti e suonatori. " ... e datemi anche un po' di quelle mollette per stendere il cervello" --> https://youtu.be/eW9Tn-LZjgU #CapitanGruccia #Vernante #mollette (presso Vernante (Cn))
