Giorgio, the charcoal burner (and Cimbrian) innkeeper of Giazza

About :
Boschi, by surname and by nature. Yes, because Giorgio Boschi knows and truly lives his woods, those around his beloved Giazza, up there at about 800 meters above sea level in a pleasant location in the highest part of the Illasi valley, in the eastern part of Verona, known for being a Cimbrian island. And in that group of houses, there is truly a lot of the Cimbrian world, starting from the small, well-kept museum to the German-speaking (unfortunately increasingly rare) of some inhabitants. And then there are some traditions that continue to tell the story of this cultural lineage, of which Giorgio himself is legitimately very proud. One of these is certainly that of coal, which Giorgio, thanks to the teachings of his father Nello, continues to make using wood from the forest. During the cold weeks he stocks up on it, choosing the right plants for size and variety, cuts them into pieces of appropriate size, builds the pyre, lights the fire and, after three days, extracts the coal. I've summed it up in a few words, but I assure you that it's a lot of work that requires a lot of time and concentration. And then? Then he takes the coal to his tavern, where it is used for heating and, above all, for cooking. And since coal recalls centuries of history, in his kitchen he made me find a disappeared world, a world in which coal was once used in everyday life, for cooking, precisely, and for heating. It was exciting to see how grandparents did it, how they knew how to make the house live with the few but very effective means that nature could give them, with a simplicity of gestures and philosophy perhaps inconceivable for today's comfortable and frenetic times.
