(CI ARRIVAVA L'ECO DI UN CINEMA ALL'APERTO...)
E nel pomeriggio
quando il sole ci nutriva
di tanto in tanto un grido copriva le distanze
e l’aria delle cose diventava
irreale.
La Maremma è una vasta regione geografica compresa fra Toscana e Lazio, di circa 5000 km², che si affaccia sul Mar Tirreno e sul Mar Ligure. Oltre a una parte centrale, corrispondente alla provincia di Grosseto, comprende la fascia costiera tra Piombino e il Cecina, e si spinge nel Lazio fin verso Civitavecchia.

The old man was dozing, in the open countryside, leaning on his stick, while his dog watched carefully over him.

In Romania Maremma Sheepdogs are used as livestock guardian dogs protecting sheep from predators like wolves and bears. The name derives from the Marrema marshlands (Italy) where hundreds of thousands of sheep used to overwinter. The 'bone' (actually a spoked iron collar) worn by the Maremma Sheepdog is a form of protective gear, used to safeguard the dog's neck and throat during confrontations with predators, deterring attacks and minimising damage from bites.
