Hi Steemians,
In case we can motivate any Steemian here to live in Sabbia for some time - there is excellent internet and you would find a very welcoming and progressive community! And of course gorgeous mountains! ๐
To get substantial funding in order to keep the village at float will be tricky, with only 40 souls.
Even though the truth is that they canโt afford the petrol because the rent they pay for 40 Square Meters in Milan is enormously high.
It's sad to know that there are people who would leave this beautiful place but the world is so big and there's so much to see. Though if I were to retire, I would love to look for a small village something like this, with an amazing view and we serenity is and of course, with lot of cats ;)
Thank you for visiting me and I missed you a lot. I barely go on instagram and fb since Steemit is giving more stuff to do, it's overwhelming. I even unfinished blogs and a lot of photos piling up, lol. I hope for your success on this new film you guys are making. Thank you for always inspiring me with your stories. Remember how we used to exchange very long comments, longer than some other posts in Steemit? haha it was always a fun time with you! TC always!
Love,
Gilaine

Hello @purepinay,
I didn't know you're also in love with cats! ๐I think they are such marvellous friends and charming neighbours.
I will make sure to capture more cats along the way in those remote villages.
@purepinay, you're a popstar on steemit - of course you have no time for facebook or instagram anymore! โญ๏ธ But I think steemit is actually a fantastic way to interact with people you have not met -- yet. I hope we will meet each other in person one day! Maybe in a remote Italian Village?
Yes, I remember our post-ping-pong. It felt a bit like writing letters, didn't it? I used to have a letter book with my best friend at school. We wrote some sort of a diary into the same book and exchanged it at every day. Being on steemit with you feels very similar.
Love,
Elena

I have been to northern Italy in a small village almost next to the Swiz border. 2-3 kilometer over Lago di Como. I stayed there for one week learning how to make a Fresco, to paint a fresco! It was mostley old people living there and lots of cats. It was many artists living there as well and the village was rich on sculptures and frescos. I stayed in a very very old house a former monastery. Beautiful sight over Lago di Como!

Hi @see5staar , I don't know what is the magic relationship between cats and old people - but there must be a dynamic - a universal truth that they simply like each other.
Wow, how wonderful, staying in a monastery much be very special. Where you content about what you learned? It must be such a difficult skull - painting a fresco.
We are very close to Lago di Como at the moment. We are basically staying next to Como's little brother - Lago di Lecco :-)

Hi again! I was very content. I learned a lot, the teacher was a wellknown Swedish artist, Hans ร berg, who is coworking with Italian artists in frescomaking. The nunยดs in the former monastery, where he lived with hiยดs wife, took care of deserted children. This old house has alo been a ,I think its called, "Bastion"for military purpos. One day we walked 10 kilometers on a old antique road built by the Romans.

Purtroppo esistono una miriade di realtร abbandonate. Ma giustamente i giovani vanno alla ricerca di novitร e modernitร , molte volte si sentono come in gabbia e quindi rimangono solo i vecchietti. Bellissime foto complimenti.

Ciao @sarabelardo hai ragione perรฒ credo ci sia anche un'alternativa al vivere in cittร e, visitando molti di questi piccoli borghi in vista del documentario, riesco anche ad immaginarmi come sia possibile tornare a vivere nella natura, anche portandosi dietro il computer e lavorando in remoto, oppure tornando alle origini e portando nuova pastorizia o magari aprire un piccola azienda casearia.

Guarda sono appena andata ad un matrimonio in Toscana in un borgo di 150 persone dove mia cugina si รจ felicemente trasferita. Io impazzirei laggiรน, ma come vedo ci sono anche giovani che invece preferiscono quelle realtร ... io, ripeto, impazzirei ๐ .

Another beautifully written and photographed but sad story of a fading village. Maybe someone could open a hotel or guest house there, and I'll book my next holiday!

Hi @natubat - this is an excellent idea. To be honest, we just went there and had nowhere to stay. There are plenty of empty houses. The owner of the only little bar in the village gave us keys and let us sleep there for free.
I'm sure you would have a similarly welcoming experience. It was so kind and the gentleman expected nothing in return. Such good people up there in the mountains!
