Fornoli’s first vintage car rally took place last Sunday. Although heavy thunderstorms were forecast, a courageous band of cars made it to San Cassiano including several classic cinquine, of which we were the proud owners of one before our accident last April.

The participants were invited to an aperitif and a visit to the local museum where the statue of the knight, said to be Saint Martin and sculpted by the great early renaissance artist, Jacopo della Quercia, is displayed.

We are expecting more bad weather over the next few days and the whole area is under yellow alert. Pity the poor tourists who have chosen this part of the world to spend their late summer holidays…

I was able to view Paul Anthony Davies’ magnificent photographic book of one year in the life of San Cassiano (2016-17). This is definitely a book to treasure, covering all aspects of life in this mountain community.

Anyway here are some of my own snaps of the morning last Sunday at San Cassiano.
