Dear Toe friends,
We will describe you "Zanti Square" and its beautiful fountain, the main
square of our little town called Cavriago. Cavriago has got 8.500 inhabitants and its in a
rural area near the hills , 8 km far from Reggio Emilia in the north of Italy. It's
famous for the Parmesan Cheese and its cooking (the world famous cappelletti and lasagne).
In our towns, squares are very important places where people can meet, buy
things during the weekly markets, talk to friends, sit outside in the
open air eating an ice-cream or having a drink. In this square you can find: the Town
Hall, The Church and the Library which is a place where the students usually go.
We'll tell you why "Zanti Square" is our favourite and, by the way, on Saturday
we'll go there and take some photos of it we'd like to show you soon!
See you!

We want to tell you what was our experience like on Saturday during our excursion to
"ZANTI" square.
When we walked from the square to the churchyard , we could touch one column made of old
bricks , it is very tall.(nearly 12 m talll).
The pine trees are very old, too , we also touched them through their cortex.
The benches mode of concrete, are of the twentieth century.
By Gabriele ,Davide and Jawad!!
During our visit to the square we could smell the perfumes of the pastries and
ice-creams from the two bars.
Our favourite flavours are cream, lemon, nut and coconut.
In the meanwhile we perceived the smell of the humidity from the many pine trees and
grass under them.
The only problem is the pollution from the cars.
