Pebbles of the Olona
On the spotQuestion
My stones come from the river. Each stone has made a longer journey than you imagine: from the water to the lime, from the lime to the wall, from the wall to me.

The Station That Is No More
On the spotQuestion
Here, once, a train whistled. It carried not pilgrims but farmers, workers, sacks of goods. It opened when I had already been dust for centuries, and closed in the last century. Even railways know how to become ruins.

The Bishop Who Broke the Castle
On the spotQuestion
Climb up to me, on the hill. There was a city here. In 1287 Bishop Ottone Visconti decided there should never be one again. But there is always something that survives.

Outside the Gates
On the spotQuestion
Come down from the hill and look for a little church that looks like a three-petalled flower. It is not inside the walls, it is outside. That is perhaps why it is the only one that never needed to hide.
