Description
The aim of this book is to ensure that the world of fantasies and myths that grew up in the 'filò', which once unfolded quietly in the stables and warm kitchens of old houses, survives in the cultural heritage of us all. Here are gathered together the legends that have as their subject matter the cattle and farmyard animals dear to our local breeding as well as life in the malga: legends collected and rewritten by Mauro Neri, an author who boasts more than 1000 legends linked to Trentino to his credit. To enrich this look at the mountains, there are also fact sheets edited by Silvia Vernaccini, dedicated to alpiculture, the 'profession' of the malgaro, desmontegade, the magic of milk and its derivatives, social dairies and more, all accompanied by photographs. To conclude, in the appendix, a summary of the history of the Provincial Federation of Breeders-Trento.
