Glad you’re able to stay in your home! Piana Degli Albanesi looks like a charming place to walk at length with a camera and discover hidden connections. :-)
Well now that I look through my photos the only one that really shows the Alpine effect is the one in the post. That’s so weird because both Tom and I commented on it while we were there.
Hahaha! Well that might be a classic finding a familiar imprint example! To me, the third photo with the pitched roof and green accents feels Apline. So many Italian roofs are slanted only on one side and when there is a double slant, you dont see it from the front or back- only the side. In this photo, you are seeing that pitch from the back with porches. When I travelled in the German and Austrian countryside, I saw this double slant from the front everywhere.

It was lovely! I look forward to seeing it again with my cousins!
A friend’s family is from there; I’ll ask him about the alpine accents.
Thank you! I’m quite curious.
Jan, he says he’s never seen anything like that; do you have any photos? He’s curious too!

Huh, I don’t see anything that looks Alpine to me.

Such a wonderful report. Makes us feel homesick for Sicilia- we will visit one of these years!! Nathan and Steve
Oh I hope you’ll return when I’m there! Maybe we can plan for 2026! 😊
Oh to have ties to Italy!
