night I enjoyed dinner at Maria Barberini home in Pesaro but mostly the folkore music band
which played especially for us.
The next day we visited a nursing home in Santa Colombo. It was clean, neat and very well
organized allowing elder’s to develop their activities and to show their abilities.
The same evening BANCA DEL TEMPO (Women's Organization of Pesaro) organised an amazing
dancing evening, with traditional costumes and home cooked food, prepared by the members
of the Organization.
We also visited the park of San Bartolo, and admired the local flora and fauna, the villas of the
Roman period of Pavarotti etc. I also enjoyed the Dante castle, the Paleontological Museum
and the fossils of insects and fish exhibited. Furthermore the scenery of landslides existing in
the area of Pesaro and generally along the Adriatic Coast was
spectacular.
I loved the tour at Museum Civici, Palazzo Moska and
Rossini’s home. That evening we attended the Theater of
Urbino show organized by the CNA of Pesaro . On the last day
in Pesaro I enjoyed the visit we made at the municipality
gardens allocated to pensioners to grow with natural
methods without pesticides. Also nice evening spent in the
castle Gradara where we had dinner and danced.
2nd week in Senigallia: On our first day in Senigallia, after enjoying a traditional meal at Elmo’s
home (polenta e.t c.) we walked in the city and visited the self sustained nursing home, which
impressed me a lot.
On our first day of work in Senigallia, the presentation by Bruna Durazzi, infrastructure and
operations of the Protezione Civile, was fantastic. Afterwards there was an exchange of views
on the subject between Greeks and Italians. The day ended with a great dinner at Falchi della
Rovere. Excellent morning tour to the city's attractions from Konstantine a member of local
civil protection group. Also impressive was the tour at the river MISA by members of the same
organization.
Very nice tour at CORINALDO (neighboring town) by Pierro Minardi (leader of the organization)
In this village are organised various festivals to revive old customs like collective cooking of
polenta. In the evening I liked the representation occured by Bruna , to address potential
earthquake. I also enjoyed dinner with traditional pizza.
The visit to BEVEDERE -village of the same district- was both nice and informative. The village
was destroyed by the earthquake of 1997 and was la FW"
