We've had some trouble with cars, and haven't gotten out to visit some of the towns we're planning on seeing, so Heidi, baby Maddy, and I took a little tour of the neighborhood last night. About a quarter mile up the road is Villa Tacchi, the 500-year-old center of Vilalta. Now it's used as a reception center/hotel, so we went inside and I said, "posso videre la villa?" (possible to see the villa?) The guy blinked a couple of times and looked a little confused, and then said "si, si." So maybe I used a weird grammatical construction, or maybe I had something in my teeth, but he got the gist of what we wanted and let us wander around. Here are a few pictures of the grounds:
Here's a little of Maddy, who's a city baby, enjoying the wide-open spaces and the smells and sounds of the Italian countryside.
And here are a few more pictures of the immediate neighborhood. The building to the right of the church in the last picture is the Vetter's house.
