Assisi Diary - Day 37 - Subasio Sculptures and Wildflowers

Among the interesting sights on Subasio are works by the Italian sculptor Fiorenzo Bacci.  One of them sits high on the mountain and is called "Frate Vento", or "Brother Wind".

A second one is set in Fonte Bregno, and is called "Sora Acqua", or "Sister Water"".

While the late Spring seems to have lessened the numbers of wildflowers on Subasio this year, there are still thousands of them.

Of varying bright colors.

Another pleasant thing about Subasio is that one can be walking or driving along and suddenly come across a nice place for a picnic.  It's as if somehow there are people whose job it is to find and prepare idyllic spots for weary travelers to stop and enjoy their lunches.  This one is close by the Eremo.

It's not uncommon to see families dining well at these pretty locations, enjoying the food and the views.

In town today much work is underway in preparation for the Calendimaggio celebrations.  Will have pictures in the days ahead.

Ciao.
