Tips

Enzo Carrino 🇮🇹 🇪🇺 Nonno 🙆🙋‍♂️👶

December 8, 2024

On the Passo del Mercante, my father told me, that my grandfather met my grandmother.
My grandfather was a young woodcutter who climbed the pass from Cittanova; and my grandmother was a shepherdess from Canalo Vecchio.
They met by chance, and immediately argued: it seems that she didn't like the woodcutters, because they were too noisy and scared the cattle...
But my grandfather, evidently made the difference, "maybe he was cute and she was very beautiful" and after the argument they made peace and fell in love....

Every time I'm in the area, I always go to the Pass to greet the memory of my grandfather 👴 and my grandmother👵

There are always specialties to buy at the top of the pass between Gerace and Cittanova 😋

Mandatory stop at the stall, for a sandwich, a glass of wine, a dessert or a coffee. The owner is very nice.
