Tug of War

I am not sure when the “Cassa di Risparmi” gym in “Via Bosi” was built, but it was probably when tug of war was still an Olympic sport (1900-1920).The facility, almost adjacent to the church of “San Benedetto”, was mainly used by local schools without a gym, but surely not for Greco-Roman wrestling......or archery.

Inside De Amicis

One of the first things you notice inside the “Edmondo De Amicis” elementary school is this garish in & out box.The long hallway of the first floor receives plenty of light from the windows on the backyard while, on the right, the classrooms face a small enclosed garden and the street.A sort of monument to the caretakers proudly stands on a shelf.The works of the kids are usually the most colorful thing you can see in an elementary school.A problem with a school built around one hundred years ago, is that the gym has two nice columns just in the middle, to support the floor above.
