10 Jan to 19 Jan, 2022 - Bomba (and surrounds), Sant'Agata - (Italy)
January turned in to a delightful month, weather-wise. I'm sure the lack of snow and rain is going to cause problems down the track, but with daily clear skies and temperatures consistently in the teens, we did our best to take advantage of the climatic conditions.

The Site of a Horrible Incident
On the 21st of January, 1944, in the small village of Sant'Agata, the Nazis extracted revenge after two of their soldiers were killed by a partisan group. The soldiers rounded up all the people in the village, only women, children, and the elderly were there. They were locked in their houses, and grenades were thrown inside, killing 42 of the 44 villagers there.
Even in winter, we had people around. When possible, we entertained on the terrace. I decided to make a little promo video. :)

Via Forno 14, Bomba, From Above
Early January, when we were supposed to be in the depths of winter, Bomba was instead experiencing weeks of mild, almost balmy, weather. Some friends, Donna and Andrew, and their son Xavier, came for lunch, and we dined on our recently completed roof terrace. Xavier sent his drone up a few times, and I compiled some of the footage in to this video. Music is "La Scelta", courtesy of Caparezza.
