The story

Cherasco is located near Bra, at the foot of the Langhe; it's a town famous for its "snails", and on this very Sunday the festival of the same name is being held. Just think, today I had 5 km of market stalls at my disposal, all of excellent quality, many with antique pieces, others with interesting objects; I'll try with my photos to convey the emotion... greetings, and see you on the next trip ventoenuvole
