E' ARRIVATA LA CICOGNA
La cicogna bianca (Ciconia ciconia) è considerata simbolo di fortuna e prosperità già dall’antichità. La leggenda secondo cui porterebbe i bambini nelle case, tenendoli in un fagottino poi fatto calare nei comignoli, è nata nei Paesi del Centro-nord Europa. In quelle zone, anche in primavera, quando il numero delle nascite era maggiore, i camini restavano accesi a lungo nelle case dove c’era un neonato.
Le cicogne, che proprio in quel periodo tornano in Europa dai Paesi africani, approfittavano del tepore in uscita dai comignoli per fare il nido. Non era quindi la cicogna a portare i bambini ma, al contrario, erano questi, con il calore che regnava nella loro casa, a richiamare le cicogne.

THE STORK HAS ARRIVED
The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) has been considered a symbol of luck and prosperity since ancient times. The legend according to which she would bring children into homes, keeping them in a bundle then lowered down the chimneys, was born in the countries of Central and Northern Europe. In those areas, even in spring, when the number of births was higher, the fireplaces remained lit for a long time in the houses where there was a newborn.
The storks, which at that time returned to Europe from African countries, took advantage of the warmth coming out of the chimneys to build their nests. Therefore, it was not the stork that brought the children but, on the contrary, it was these, with the warmth that reigned in their home, that attracted the storks.
