Lucia is a woman from Veneto, who has always loved the land. Years ago she bought a plot on an island in the middle of the Mediterranean: Pantelleria. Lucia worked so hard as to create a dry garden placed on a hillside overlooking the sea. To keep the soil clean, she resorts to the help of the WWOOF network volunteers. The wwoofers work in return for hospitality and accommodation. The author of this audio tale is one of them, and in June 2024 he has worked for two weeks to clean the soil of weeds. During his stay he had the chance to meet other people living on the island, such as Silvia, from Bologna, former restaurant owner and founder of a nursery-gardening farm.
Viaggio pantesco is the poetic rendering of this experience and simultaneously a tribute to the vocal harmonies of the Beach Boys that weave every scene of this tale.
