This is a medieval (VIII century) church in the countryside very close to Monopoli. It is called Seppannibale church and is almost unknown to most of people because it is in a private farm (see pics below).
The farmhouse has an outlying building and part of it was an oil mill, fueled by horse power. Today the mill is still there and here we can see a nowadays stallion trying to push it... it didn`t move a single inch!! ;-)
Monopoli
This is Monopoli, the place where I was born a long, long time ago! There are many coves both intown and nearby and they could be either sandy or rocky. There's a kind of sea for every taste. Emiko and Ale, we hope to have you here next year!
This is the same beach from another view.
Enrico and I prefer less urban landscape so we drive out of town for some minutes to enjoy more space and less people (at least in June, from the half of July to the end of August will be hell everywhere!)
Rosa Marina
This is the cost near Enrico's summer house.
I colleghi e gli amici arrivano e distraggono un po` Alessandro dall`attesa dei prof.
Friends and colleagues arrive and help Alessandro to release the tension
Dopo il seminario i prof lo interrogano per circa venti minuti a porte chiuse. Non possiamo ingannare l`attesa mangiando perche` e` gia` tutto finito!
After the talk a 20 minutes exam starts. We cannot while away the time grabbing a bite, becuase the food is already gone!
Ecco Alessandro Magnani, Ph.D.! (lui non lo sa perche` i prof devono ancora annunciarlo, ma nessuno ha mai nutrito dubbi).
Alessandro Magnani, Ph.D.! (at this time he still does not know it, the professors will tell him in few minutes, but no one of us had the slightest doubt about it).
