Val dei Molini, South of Vicenza

Since #3 posted some fall pictures, I may as well add some from Italy. This is the area of Val dei Molini (Valley of the Mills) south of Vicenza in the Colli Berici.




On Saturday we went there to eat some food, to drink some wine, and to plant a tree for Francesca (now 8 weeks old) in memory of her "nonno" and namesake, Francesco, who helped found an association to protect this area.








You gotta like Italian priorities: Family, Friends, Food, Wine, The Land (Terra), the Arts, God, and Country (in that order).
