In the hills once again

 


Around here, small towns located in the hills and with a tiny population are usually called  "villages" or "communities".




There are many villages in the area where I live. Probably, some of them have even less than one thousand people living there.



I noticed that people who belong to those communities tend to know and take care of each other. The problem is that we may be judged by the history of our relatives.


This week I went once again to Tolfa, 75 kilometers North from Rome. And once again I noticed that the countryside don't disappaer under housing development. That's great!



And last but not least, at Tolfa's farmers market I can buy fresh fruits and vegetables in season that were picked within 24 hours. There isn't any walnut shipped from Chile or tomato made in Spain.

I think that nowadays living in a small town is just great.

Old Rome-Fiumicino railway

 


The origin of the Rome-Fiumicino railway line dates back to 1875. Located close to Rome, Fiumicino is home of the largest airport in Italy ✈ In addition, it has a large fishing center🦐🐟


A railway engine and a baggage wagon are still positioned on old tracks in a street in the center of Fiumicino.

The tracks of that railway line no longer exist, as the last train to Rome left the night of January 30th, 2000.  πŸš‚πŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒ



Have a nice weekend!☀️

The port on a sunny Sunday

 


On this sunny Sunday six warships have docked. Consequently, today the image of the port changes from this:

I wish a nice new week to all the blogging community. ☀☕πŸ₯
