Yes, the summer is over… and whilst the I.V.A. (Italian V.A.T.) is rising, the temperatures are dropping and the rain has washed our sun-tanned bodies… “Malinconia…”

The new season weather conditions are perfect for sightseeing, as the crowds disperse and the fabulous falls colours, or red, orange and yellow light up the Niccone Valley and our house Buca dei Tassi like an old painting.
The smell of autumn bonfires is in the air, the sound of the chestnuts falling from the trees and soft mushrooms underfoot and the melancholy gives way to wonder…
