Picking chestnuts in the woods behind the farmhouse

The first chestnuts are falling in the woods a short distance from the house: the days are still warm, autumnal colors, a fairytale landscape with great views of the Apuan Alps, the smell of smoke curls and leaves that burn slowly in the heaps and .. . chestnuts falling, continually, ready to pick up on the ground just cleaned and raked. Ancient gestures in a serene environment that brings us back to distant rhythms in time, peace with nature, the ancient flavors of chestnuts, cooked according to tradition.
