There alcuni sogni che ricorrono più di una volta durante le escursioni notturne della nostra mente. Si ripresentano , mai uguali seppure il tema sia il medesimo. Ed hanno la prorompente capacità di imprimersi tra i nostri ricordi quasi a sugellare una incredibile fusione tra ciò che visualizziamo delle nostre passate esperienze con ciò che la nostra mente riesce a creare, sognando. A volte affiorano addirittura con più frequenza e dettagli rispetto a dei fatti realmente accadutici. E vanno ad occupare, se sono stati una piacevole compagnia nel sonno, uno spazio dentro il quale tendiamo a ritornare volentieri per cercare di rivivere le emozioni che ci hanno regalato e viaggiare con la fantasia oltre quelle immagini per potere ampliare e dare un significato a ciò we dreamed of.
In my memory I have a couple of dreams that I have been pleasantly impressed and made part now even more bright and vivid reality lived.
In this post I will try to tell and a view, although I realize that I should be an artist to express graphically with a picture of the dream images in my head. Unfortunately they are not and then I tried to give a vision of rebuilding computer with pictures and effects, however, have very few elements of the original which I keep in my mind.
to accompany this description in the Talbot Brothers with "In my dreams," as sound, in a video made by me and uploaded to Youtube, using processed images that try to illustrate my dream. Terry and Michael Talbot were the founders of country rock group Mason Profitt a forerunner of the sounds that gave the Eagles success. Then released, in pairs, a gem sound and singing (The Talbot Brothers) which is included in this song.
The dream did not have a plot. It offered only a vision of the valley of Sizzone, where I spent my childhood and youth, from his father's house and then to embrace the western slope of the hill and the green expanse of meadows to the south that accompany the course of our river. The feeling of peace and harmony with what I had imagined and that reflected almost entirely the actual shape of the place, was upset with the appearance of a mountain range that overlooked the last trees of the top of the "Cumiona" and rose up wild and inaccessible in its radiant beauty. Fascinated by the beautiful apparition, I basked in rimirarla and even a little intimidated by the imposing and majestic rock formations, with peaks steep and seemingly inaccessible, looking forward to have the pleasure to walk in the woods known, beyond the banks of Sciscion to reach the point high and from there go to the conquest of the beautiful mountains that rose behind them.
My dream is all ... in this vision of a place familiar to me from my imagination converted into a fabulous place, as if to remind me that good things are around us. Just knowing how to observe and recognize!
Baraggioni Casale, taken from the eastern side of Colombaro, with the thin strip of grass bordering the Sciscion and that will expand south towards Fugnano. The woods to the west are the foothills of Cumiona plateau, beyond which my imagination has envisioned a similar scenario. .. 
similar scenario, but far from the beauty that impressed me in mind and that I will never be.
Recently I wanted to retrace the path, starting with the first flights of Cumiona, it forwards the hillside into the woods to reach the area of \u200b\u200bso-called "Ravot" at the south of the plateau was once covered with vineyards: the summit "real" image posted above. I was encouraged to discover this route, I had never practiced in my youth, made their dream recall. In search of sublime heights ... But also in search of "Casino" means a hut in the vineyards of the slope. Lonely and quite an imposing building that once stood out from afar with its distinctive chimney. Nowadays you no longer see, trapped and masked dall'avanzata prorompente del bosco, e proprio per questo ne sono andato alla ricerca per scoprire che fine abbia fatto. La salita del "Casin", lo strappetto che mette in comunicazione la valle del Sizzone di Vergano con quella del Sizzone di Maggiora, ha preso il nome proprio da quella costruzione.
Il sentiero che ho imboccato, inizialmente è ancora percorribile facilmente, ma ben presto, per avanzare , occorre affidarsi all'intuito ed all'improvvisazione. Il sottobosco presenta vari ostacoli: dagli alberi caduti ai rovi che spuntano ormai rigogliosi.
I passi sono ammortizzati nel loro poggiare a terra da uno strato di fogliame morbido, arricchito dai fiori delle robinie ormai staccatisi from the trees.
I realize I have almost reached the summit of the cliff when I start to see the remnants of stone walls terracing that allowed in this part of the slope to catch up for the cultivation of the vine.
Supero with some difficulty the last stretch of sloping land to the smoothed and then the initial Cumiona in Ravot area. I'll find numerous references in the remainder of the walk to the old-use of this territory, in particular the presence of containers in which cement is used for water collection, which is essential for the preparation of verdigris on the spot that was used for the watering of the vines.
Now I'm on the plateau and hit the road that served as a liaison in the area of \u200b\u200bvineyards with the primary coming up Cumiona of ERT. It 's still recognizable, although invaded from the tall grass, but not yet conquered by the vegetation that has now taken possession of all the vineyards of the past. 
runs along the south and I see every day that the parcels of land that had divided the territory were very many. Small number of properties that allowed the villagers of Santo Stefano Vergano and to have a harvest wine for their annual needs. This can be deduced from the presence, for each plot, or a pit of water or of the typical concrete tanks that dwelt in practice at least one for each property 
Continue along the former road without being able to glimpse, would be to my left, the I'm looking for construction, so I decided to get to the end and continue on the path, coming down, it ends up coming out at the height of the asphalt "casino". 
along a short stretch of downhill road, skirting the beautiful stone walls of containment of the bank. I believe that slowly crumble and will ultimately be destined to be replaced by a concrete wall, more anonymous, since there's no longer interested in such land owner. Went into acting as a gateway to a possible path that climbs the forest until the former vineyards.
would seem that there is no trace as they traveled the dirt and stones, which were carried away by rainwater to the wall, it almost completely blocking access. But I overcome preclude the accumulation of debris, steep, and then find myself on a stretch that is easier still clearly visible and it looks to be the path that leads to the "Casino."
We understand the importance it had in the past these properties, looking at the fence of stone walls that mark the boundaries. Walls that will stand still for a few years of wear and all'incuria time.
In this area, I am told that there was a vineyard "'dla gies," or a vineyard, probably planted by "Daniel", produced the wine that it was necessary to Vergano parish priest for the celebration of Masses. I write with the benefit of inventory because I did not make findings on the reliability of this debt. In fact, the vineyard "'dla gies" there are others, one of which on the height behind the new cemetery, which will be a next post on my blog, thanks to the memories of Silvio, I strive to discover the names and areas of vineyards Vergano.
date back for a while, until I pour it in front of a "vision" almost fairy-tale that I can barely be distinguished from afar. I also inspires some fear, with its dark and mysterious air. I expect that even if he were a monster, head towards me, threatening to driven back from its territory. Now I can hardly give a correct interpretation, so took me by surprise its magical appearance. But in the end I admit ... And 'the mythical, for me, "Casino" engulfed in ivy and masked by trees that are intertwined around. I pause for a moment to gaze from afar and enjoy for his discovery.
Approaching observe, among the bushes, the unmissable collector container of water almost completely submerged vegetation.
When I close the building, I can only see the unstinting work of time which is demolishing the structure. I had never seen so closely, in fact I had never driven this far in the past. I had only ever gazed from afar. Its outline was familiar to those who look to the west, the ascent of Colombaro, the other side of the valley. I did not expect to find myself in front of a building so big. Other than "Casino"! A two-story house with even the basement! Una scalinata, ormai in disgregazione, dava l'accesso al primo piano, mentre allo scantinato vi si accedeva direttamente.
Addirittura le facciate sud ed ovest del secondo piano erano fornite di un ballatoio esterno con la ringhiera in ferro battuto, tuttora osservabili in quanto hanno resistito, finora, alla disgregazione del caseggiato.
Il tetto è quasi completamente crollato. Internamente hanno messo radici le piante che si innalzano verso il cielo fornendo così con le loro fronde una copertura naturale. Dalle foto si può osservare come i due piani superiori avessero addirittura le pareti plastered. Another design feature is the use of bricks and stones for the composition of the wall. He finally noticed the large holes of support for the beams that supported the vaults of the basement.
On the south side, outside, a staircase with brick side walls allowing access to the upper level of the terrace where he starts the actual vineyard.
The land where the vine has been cultivated was a minimal slope. Yes it has reached the plateau of Cumiona. Looking at the "Casino" from the west side you can see the famous chimney was noticed from a distance and it was almost the hallmark of the building: it remained miraculously intact.
As I depart, I will still want to turn around back to look at the "Casino" that slowly fades and blends in with leaves and returns to ambush in the true sense of the word.
back home happy that he wanted to indulge my dream of youth, seeking to conquer the mountains and the woods beyond the imaginary Cumiona and thus have seen and discovered for the first time the mythical construction of "Casino" of Pidrick by Fre.
His sons, Angelo and Franco, and features incredibly figures known for their rudeness with rudeness that bordered almost (Although who could confirm the well-known Angelo soul sensibility hotels under its hard rind) continued farming with such passion and commitment to their death. After them, nicknamed Tùdosk, unrepentant bachelor, no one has picked up the baton of their activities. So even the "Casino" has disappeared along with their departure. I would be very happy if
some neighbor was in possession of any old photographs that depict, even just a background, the building that I remembered. Even more so if they could let me have to attach them to this post.
