The hunting season is upon us again: pre-season shooting of selected species was allowed as of September 1. So it’s strange that more or less the first shots I heard were yesterday: a Tuesday – like Friday, a day of silenzio venatorio when hunting is banned. L called the Carabinieri to complain, soon after which it really did fall silent. I think this may have been a coincidence though. The policeman on the phone reckoned it was some kind of official cull going on, maybe organised by the forestali. | ||||||
