100KM OF PASSATORE
The sun goes down
among the wonderful
Tuscan hills.
Now only shadows rise
to the top,
then voices in the dark.
Up there at the Colla pass
our soul
is full of hope,
then down with my heart in my throat.
The dawn catches us tired,
let’s embrace the new day
with wonderful sensations.
Only heart and soul,
and the affection of the people of Romagna
allow us to receive the embrace
in Piazza del Popolo in Faenza.
