Casa sulla pescaia - House on the Milldam


This is as far as I can go upstream on the Arno bank trail. I instantly fell in love with this house that incorporated parts of one of the old mills that dot the course of the river.
In the PIPS another couple of takes on the same subject.
It didn't show signs of very recent habitation (despite the air-conditioning unit, the plant pots on the terrace were uncared for and it looked like it had been a while since the little path leading to the entrance was much used). I guess I can see why: it can be reached only by an unpaved road along the banks that must get pretty muddy and possibly even impassable in case of flooding and it must be a rather humid and even scary spot when the river swells.
And yet, it was just lovely on this spring afternoon, with just me and a lady walking her dog along the bank trail. My imagination went into overdrive trying to guess who might have lived here, how they came by the property of the old mill, whether they still use the house from time to time and what the sunset on the river valley must look like from that terrace on a summer evening with a nice glass of prosecco by your side ... As my Grandma used to say, "Dreaming is free of charge"! :D

Beau rendu bien partagé.
Annalia S. club has replied to Malik Raoulda clubHave a nice day, Malik!
Me gusta el conjunto de las tres fotografías que se complementan en las distancias para mostrar un bello paisaje. La casa molino tiene buen muro para soportar las crecidas.
Annalia S. club has replied to José Manuel Polo clubQue pases un buen fin de semana.
Le tre foto ci descrivono efficacemente la casa e l'ambiente: la principale, con le zone d'ombra che avvolgono la casa, rende bene l'atmosfera di mistero che ci hai raccontato.
Un caro saluto
Fabio

Annalia S. club has replied to photosofghosts clubIo discendo da una famiglia che per generazioni aveva costruito e guidato le zattere sul fiume Piave, saziando con il proprio lavoro l'inesauribile fame di legname di Venezia. Mi hai fatto ricordare che mio padre, ultimo dei discendenti degli zattieri ad essere nato e cresciuto nel borgo affacciato sul fiume, aveva un rapporto davvero particolare con il Piave e disponeva di un ricchissimo lessico (in dialetto, ovviamente) per descrivere la condizione del greto, il colore dell'acqua, la forza della corrente, per non dire delle piante, dei pesci e degli altri animali dell'ecosistema fluviale, un pò come gli eschimesi hanno un lessico vastissimo per descrivere il ghiaccio e la neve. Aveva un'intima conoscenza dell'asta del fiume e di tutti i suoi affluenti e un rispetto profondo tanto per i benefici delle sue acque che per i pericoli. Stranamente, mentre c'è un nome per descrivere chi vive in simbiosi con il mare, non ce n'è una per chi ce l'ha con il fiume.
Grazie molte della tua visita, Fabio, e dei tuoi commenti che sono sempre molto stimolanti. Buon fine settimana!
Annalia S. club has replied to HappySnapperBut actually I too could picture myself living happily in a place like this, if I was only a bit younger.
Have a nice weekend!
