Italian Holiday 2007 - Early morning walks

Each morning I got up early and went for a walk. the views of the surrounding countryside were magnificent. Behind the cottage were hills covered with a patchwork of fields ...

... and in front were the Appenine mountains, a ridge that extends down the length of Italy.

In Tuseggia, the village a mile away on the hill behind the cottage, was a very small cemetery. There were some very simple graves marked with simple iron crosses and also a couple of more ornate ones. This memorial appealed because of the photos of those buried beneath.
