WHEN GIANNI FIRST STARTED COMING TO PUGLIA FROM THE NORTH, he was probably in his twenties. At that time, the farmers of olives went to work at their orchard from town (Carvigno) in a donkey-pulled cart. It took about 2-3 hours to get to their farm. The donkey was egged on by the farmers' dog. It was always a white dog barking all the way . The farmer slept the whole way because the donkey knew his way. And the little white dog kept the donkey going at a snails pace. But the farmer got to sleep.
Then the donkey and cart and dog got replaced with a car. And the farmer could not sleep.
But despite the farmer got to drive to work, he still traveled at a snails pace. It still took him 2-3 hours.
This is a true story.
