Description
There is no reason to come to Roccasecca. The exception is that this was St. Thomas Aquinas� home town. It is a village built on a ledge hanging on the edge of a mountain with a road that leads to Aquino castle � what remains of it. The village was very quiet. I suppose it was siesta, or those employed were at work. Belying that theory was that there were no kids anywhere, one dog, one man on a park bench, and group of five men or so sitting outside a cafe. One of the tiny grocery/deli stores was open, and the other closing. A �bar� up the street had espresso and the necessary facilities that espresso buys. There was one van, one parked car, and nothing even approaching movement except the tourist bus we arrived in from Rome. No one was walking on the street except us as we made our way to the village gazebo to eat.The street did not look as empty as it looked abandoned. The tableau reminded of a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western. Yet somehow I have yet to figure in what way; Roccasecca felt like a place in which people live. From open doors and windows I expected to hear snoring, but there were no sounds.
