“him and her” meet on the straw sheafs left in the<br />
garden, that fragrance of everlasting summer in<br />
the air, yet it is a mild saturday in mid-september.<br />
For some, that afternoon of idleness “is the mother<br />
of all vices”, but for those who get away from the<br />
passage of time, that adventure on a tailor-made<br />
bicycle, chosen for these long tree lined avenues<br />
which are not yet tinged with autumn yellows, is<br />
‘otium’ in the latin sense of the word. the english<br />
call it ‘Country style’, a lifestyle in contact with the<br />
earth. it is of no importance that outside the walls<br />
of the villa in question (Villa Castelbarco in Vaprio<br />
d’adda near Milan) there’s a fast moving, dynamic<br />
2.0 world. here time stands still and all is magical.<br />
the statues in the garden seem to come to life;<br />
they hide objects, one moment wearing sophisti-<br />
cated hats just like the magical cats of a fable written<br />
two centuries ago, reading their eternal stone<br />
volumes with sunglasses from the last collection<br />
of some well-known brand, stealing travel rucksacks<br />
from one another in the certainty that their<br />
rough skin will have no impact on leathers forged<br />
by the patience of skilled artisans. a moment later<br />
the game is interrupted and silence falls once<br />
more. “he” looks out to the horizon hiding his<br />
gaze under a cowboy hat. “she” is wrapped in a<br />
warm wool overcoat and watches him from the<br />
vantage point of the “piano nobile”. these are<br />
moments suffused in country silence broken only<br />
by the desire to set off once again along those<br />
avenues at sunset, or enjoy the last rays of sun<br />
and nature allows for this. the wooden ducks<br />
