"A small ancient village, with few houses and a little church. Flipot is the “frè”, the smith of the village: he’s young but he perfectly knows how to curve the harder iron and how to build tools for the farm and horseshoes. He works with the “ruè” Giacomo, building the wagons. He uses his wagon, in the summer sunset, to go in the vineyards and to go to the mass on Sunday".
