Our last trip: among history, art and trust

Heat, sun and wind: summer escorts us the whole day. First stop: Monticelli d’Oglio. Sergio guided us through the streets and the hills of the little town as he told us legends, stories about ancient medieval courts and let us taste the fruits of the mulberry. The tour went on with a little walk over one of the Oglio river footbridges. The footbridge was partly financed by our guide, once mayor of the small town.

At lunch, we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the  horse riding school “San Giorgio”, while eating a delicious pizza all together. After watching some videos, an exciting activity with a horse and a vaulting demonstration, Dalmazio and his horse Tobia led us into a new and more spiritual dimension with our new four hooved friends. One of the students had his finger bitten  by a funny pony and some others tried to ride a horse in an unrestrained gallop and by then the time to go home had come, and so we went home.
