Residence Piccolo. Parghelia (VV) Calabria italy

Description

Can I describe Tropea without mentioning her luxurious beaches that stretch into an infinity of sand and sea, the towering, wind-swept Stromboli and the nothing that I fall slave to, languishing in the liquid orange caress of a sun that seems created only for Tropea, only for her beaches, only for me and my fellow sun bathers on the edge of the Tirreno sea?

Can I mention, then, the children that flirt with the waves of the sea, playing in her petticoats and skirts, and the older children collecting pieces of tile that drift on the surface of the sand, mixed with so many small stones and shells? These youths on the verge of girls and boys mixing, mingling, but not yet comfortable in their skin, not understanding the mystery of the other sex, but knowing that they don't belong playing in the sea's skirts with their younger, dancing and delighted playmates?

Is there more to Tropea than her long beaches, her lavish umbrellas and brown bodies tanning on multicolored towels among a litter of romance novels, drinks, sunglasses and bottles of tanning oil? Of course there's the promenade in the city proper, where the little bookstore opens her door with Italian, German and French novels waving their pages and beckoning one to know different tongues, to dive into other worlds, but why would I want to leave Tropea in the pages of a book once I'm finally here, and after it took so long to reach this mystical island of old-world Italian, a bubble in the technologically laced, modern Italian industry? I rummage through the pages and, after touching several countries, leave this tiny store and visit the city's other, more alluring attractions.
