Excerpt from Gubbio
Orri vigorose, erette contro il cielo come una sfida ai fulmini e al tempo, edifizi cupi, coronati di merli e vestiti di parietarie e di muschi, pochi campanili. Che si allungano come spettri e tagliano la cortina delle nubi distese sull'orizzonte o la limpida illuminazione dell'azzurro.
