Fireflies for me. I live in Italy and between the vineyards it was full of them. Now I occasionally see one or two. It's a pity not only because it is a concrete sign of habitat degradation, but it was also mesmerizing to walk and have them filing around you. Something my kids won't experience.
- vidarh 4y agoBetween two long trips to Italy in my childhood, the fireflies we could see from the terrace of a small B&B we stayed at in a small village not far from Genoa is one of my most enduring memories.
- marcyb5st 4y agoYeah, they are amazing. I'm not sure about Liguria, but where I am from (Garda Lake on the Veneto side) they basically disappeared.
- nonninz 4y agoAs a child in the 80s I was living in a house with a large garden area (fasce) in Genova, just a bit removed from the bulk of the city. Every summer evening the house and surrounding garden were filled with fireflies, it was mesmerizing. Thanks for making me remember this :)
