SUMMER

Summer. Sunday, the sun is high and warm; the horizon seems to float, almost dancing thanks to the humidity rising from the asphalt. A group of friends heading towards Garda Lake in a van, the Volkswagen Kombi that they affectionately called Chamomile, because of its performance on the road. It was a slightly faded sky-blue, with several designs on its sides: an enormous guitar on the left and a huge eagle on the right. It carried a long clump of wire on the bumper, a subterfuge found after an incautious reverse where Lorenzo discovered for himself that even low walls are not easily bent. They hoped they wouldn’t be stopped by the police, who would have had a very good excuse to slap them with a very heavy fine or even sequester the vehicle. Poor thing, this van was very old, as could be seen even from inside: the red cloth seats, now completely thread-bare, barely acknowledging their original color, although all kinds of stains were very much visible, and the dashboard was completely covered with stickers and various graffiti. Peter, Giorgio’s German uncle who lived in Hannover, had given it to him for his eighteenth birthday; he had taken care of it for many years for the nephew who, just like him, played in a band and in whom he saw himself as a young man. His friends defined Chamomile as “the legend” because they had faced so many battles together with her ever since they were eighteen year olds: concerts, the mountains, the sea, adventures through half of Italy and even excursions abroad.
