"Is Costa doing it and Real Madrid?"They ask us in a store where they have Lamine Yamal shirts, but from the Spanish national team."Madrid has perso", We replied, happy to be able to fulfill our mission of information punctually. We've arrived in April, and Barça is still experiencing this period of playful promise, when nothing has happened yet, but you can still see that anything is possible, in their game and in their hunger.
It's the same youthful glow that the high school students on their graduation trips, whom we meet in droves at the same bus stops as us, have. They're dressed like ours: the girls with heavy makeup, long, coiffed hair, and even some with false eyelashes, because we're in Italy and you can't just go out.broThey go with the regulation shaved parietal bones, the sweatshirts, the hoods, the shoving, the jokes. There's Locorotondo, where we stop at the monument to the fallen of the two world wars, where Rafael Nadal discovered that the Palmisano family left behind 21 children in 30 years.
There's Matera, which is already starting to show signs of tourist fatigue, and it's not even Easter yet. Pasolini filmed there. The Gospel according to Saint Matthew, Mel Gibson The Passion of Christ And James Bond's life was saved thanks to the armor of an Aston Martin in the latest film in the series. Matera was described as "the shame of Italy" in the 1940s, when Togliatti saw his fellow countrymen eking out a living in the same caves as the animals. After decades of investment, it's now a city that looks out for itself. It's rained, and the fields can no longer be green. Despite all the disasters, spring never lets us down.
