SOME GLIMPSES OF TONEZZA DEL CIMONE
ANTONIO FOGAZZARO DESCRIBED TONEZZA DEL CIMONE THUS:
“Five hours from the city, two by rail and three by car, a thousand meters above the sea, fir woods, beech woods, solitude, quiet.
Up there in their girdle of abysses undulate supine to the sky the pine and beech forests of Vena, speckled with clear emerald where the meadow breaks them and spreads out, speckled with red and white where flocks of casucets nestle....
Everything there has the imprint of a feeling, of a personal idea of beauty, which move us to sigh for a sad, indefinable sense of the absence of someone who passed there and whom we would have loved.”
“Small Modern World,” 1901
