UNA NOTA:   DI EZIO MORELLI…   /    A NOTE:  BY  EZIO MORELLI

Alle volte, se il Padrone del Campo non era piu’ che solerte e sollecito… nel passare spesso da bere…

alta e potente si levava la Vivace Protesta dei Mietitori… che smettevano quindi di mietere…

Sometimes, if the Landlord was not very quick and attentive in serving Wine and Water to the Thirsty

Harvesters… a Loud and Vivid Protestnd would suddenly mount, with the Harvesters that just stopped working...
