When Rebecca does her exercises, they start out with some stretching:
Taking a Crack at This

Sunday morning, outside the art museum:
crepa = crack, a sight we saw last year after the earthquakes (terromoti)
Quando l’arte cuce le ferite = when art stitching wounds
intervento = intervention
momentanemente = momentary
permanente = permanent
When art heals wounds
Or, a momentarily permanent intervention
AKA, my Italian lessons start tomorrow in earnest. (And my WordPress refresher course, one that recalls the instructions for internal links, should take you back to last year’s tale before long. Click here. BTW, O ye of little faith, my HTML is much better than my Italian, as evidenced by today’s most recent performances.)
Earthquake Damage?

Ettere (a first name, its spelling most likely botched)
Has an organic family farm and a daughter, I thought,
Who is studying agriculture at the university in Perugia.
He hopes (against many reasons he has to fear) that she
Will stick it out, and thereby forsaking all others (you see)
Finally come to take over the farm, pass on the inheritance.
How well she fits into his dream never got past my Italian.
So much of the rest, without a doubt, was lost in translation.
Only the land, rich in famiglia and dear to this man, remains.
