Sordevolo
The seven churches of the village, which witness the strong faith of the inhabitants of these places which has been the common thread for centuries of migration, are the frame of this tradition which hands on roles and duties, within each family from generation to generation.
Thus, going through old pictures and lingering over the old portraits on the tombstones in the small cemetery, one is often surprised when one recognize faces, glances and profiles which have been inherited by the grandchildren just as the scene costumes: the sensation is stronger than the one provoked by the flowing of the sand of life in the hourglass; it is also as powerful as the one felt retaining an identity, as years go by incessantly and silently.
The charm of these streets and quiet fountains lies in their soft silence which welcomes tourists and pilgrims.
Sordevolo is a village of silence, it is the land of the soul where the hours still scan the slow rhythm of hay-making and milking-time.
