Cadore: Cibiana e Valle

By Flaminio Gundy

Cibiana and Valle di Cadore are two pretty little towns of Veneto (Italy) that conjoin themselves at sight, but the first lives far away, immersed in its old world, while Valle is allowing to attract, even with slow belief, from the modern decorum.Cibiana closes itself between the steep slopes of its mountains and among them preserves with daily exertion its streets, winding and tired, and its dark abodes, inserted each other as woven wooden cages. These images would want to justify the choice of those who live voluntarily, conscious to scoff at the boring pushiness of the outside world.Valle, open for centuries to the easy transit of people, has known how to resist with dignity, but doesn't yield yet to the civilized designs which want to assail it so angrily. Hard to believe that there could be so open spaces in happy harmony with the mountain soul preserved by its ancient villages. As we see by these images a skilled light slips to comb with refined grace the meadows of Valle di Cadore and delicate insinuates itself between its wooden villages.Almost all the photos are accompanied by the best recipes of Cadore tradition, like the famous entr es: bigoli con anatra, canederli, casunzi i, pendol n, the lovely second courses: capriolo in umido, pastin, p ndole, the tasty side dishes: finferli e funghi porcini, formaggi di malga, the wonderful sweets: carfogn, peta, sm rm con mele, zopes and the peerless liquor barancio..
