at the house where titian was born
while we were in this house, in pieve de cadore, about three miles up the hill from calalzo, a young red haired woman was speaking to her red-haired sons in gaelic
their father was a wood carver taking part in a carving festival at Auronzo de Cadore, farther up the valley beyond the railhead
he said it was a competition to see who could carve the best piece in five or six days
