Perseidi

Hi!

This is a period famous for the splendor of the sky and the sighting of falling stars. Like every year, there was the chance to admire the spectacular phenomenon of impact with the atmosphere of an ancient comet tail increased in the area of \u200b\u200bsky near the constellation Perseus, and we were prepared to pay him just last night to admire.

Unfortunately in the afternoon the clouds that have accumulated not bode well, but we optimistically, we decided to climb up and groped (by car, of course) on nearby Mount Subasio (note for non-Umbrian: Mount Subasio is part of the Apennines and the mound under which lies Assisi). Of course, not trusting to engage winding roads through the woods at night we are satisfied to move towards the Rocca Maggiore Assisi, the fascinating ruins of a medieval castle that rises above the town of San Francesco. Before leaving, we wanted a healthy evening snack made from french fries and ketchup and half arvoltolo (note for non-Umbria: the arvoltolo is a disk of fried dough covered with sugar or Nutella for the sweet tooth) and then we went boldly to their final destination. Meanwhile, fortunately the sky was beginning a bit 'to lighten.
After walking the narrow streets of the famous town of Assisi, we finally reached the road, no less tortuous, leading to the fortress and then we had parked the car, some to be pushed high enough. Contrary to our hopes were not high enough and we had to toil more than a little to reach the summit and discover that at the end:
1) there was a lot of people! << Ma che ci fanno qui? Boh, forse per vedere le stelle come noi. >>
2) there was a lot of light coming from the city below. << Cavoli, il cielo si vede a stento. >>
3) the Rock was right on the line of sight of the Perseids. << Fantastico, non si vedrà un tubo. >>
4) was the municipal police. << Mi scusi agente, ma che succede?>> << Ci sono i fuochi d’artificio. >> << Ah. >>

Moral of the story? We saw a total of five shooting stars, little sbiaditelle and in return we enjoyed a beautiful fireworks display in the front row and the sight of Assisi at night which is always uno spettacolo suggestivo.
Pazienza.
