Description
My friend Carla lives in her husband's house in the hills outside Arquà Petrarca, in the southern part of the province (county) of Padova. Her husband is a lute maker, who emigrated to London some years ago. They keep in touch thanks to the Internet, Skype and trips back and forth every few months. They have two children, currently at the university and she has just retired as a teacher of Italian in the high school of the nearby town of Monselice.
The land she and her husband inherited from his parents is on a hillside, but they cultivate only what can grow by itself. The house is a typical farmers' house, transformed into a modern home. Yet it still has some aspects of the old houses, among them this type of shutters and a shade with Virginia creeper or five-leaved ivy (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). This creeper with its gaudy purple leaves in autumn here is commonly called 'vite americana' (American vine) probably because it looks like a vine, which is also used for shades.
Thank you for your kind comments.
