    che meraviglia quel palazzo! il pane appeso in strada come i tappetini delle auto ad asciugare invece fa una certa impressione, lol!
    sai che il sapone l’ho fatto anch’io? pero’ non con l’olio d’oliva, noi lo facemmo col grasso animale e gia’ era venuto bene: quello con l’olio d’oliva dev’essere ottimo, mi sa che ti lascia una pelle fantasticamente morbida… peccato che sei lontanuccio, senno’ passavo di la’ a prenderne un pezzetto, ehehe
