Actually today is Sunday the 4th, it is overcast out and threatening to rain – still warm so a bit muggy feeling but we just might get a break in the extended heat wave we have had…The Summer has departed, the final students for this year at the Art School have arrived and as I woke this morning there was the sound of hunters in the woods, harassing the poor wildlife – Hunting Season has started again. The bollards that block off traffic to the Gardens/Park during the summer have been removed, which is a sure sign that the youngsters of the town will soon be returning to school. And there is only one more week of the Summer Bar, the Torracia – which under new management this summer, has been a great success, I would assume for the managers, the Pro Locco and the townspeople.
The last big summer event was the return, after a two year gap, of the P-Funking Band. This fantastically talented group of 20+ brass and percussion musicians left the whole town tapping its foot and bopping to their rhythm as they moved from one piazza to another through the town, then performing a concert in the Teatro followed by a cena and a final performance at the Torracia.
As usual Sarah and I were out with our cameras and I have chosen a selection of 81 images of the day that we hope will provide a feel for the effect of the music on those lucky enough to be in attendance. On the large images, if the text at the bottom mentions a Canon 20D, I took the photo – otherwise it was Sarah. As previous I have made a small video of the images and for music, have used some of the live music from the event recorded on my iPad!
