City of Santarcangelo di Romagna
Nestled within the ancient walls of Santarcangelo di Romagna, a hidden gem awaits those willing to venture off the beaten path. A derelict gateway, once a part of the old citadel, now conceals a Marian shrine, where centuries-old sandal impressions adorn cobbled steps and a cobweb-covered brass plaque lies beneath a faded painting.
As you step inside, the shrine's tranquillity envelops you, a sense of peace that feels akin to religion or something profoundly similar. Pigeons roost in the uneven brickwork, their coos adding to the serene atmosphere. The warmth of one person's palm meets another's, two lapsed individuals sharing a moment of connection.
The moment is described as dulled gold, as if bathed in the soft light of the setting sun. The person's hair, dark and apostolic, brushes the shoulder of the other, creating a fleeting intimacy that lingers in the air.
The experience is heightened by the surrounding beauty. Breakfast is taken in a villa garden where grapes blossom in netting, and the sunlight stars speckle through the rafters of the shrine, casting a warm, ethereal glow. Feathers gently drift downwards, resembling incense, while vineyard leaves form a green halo around a person's head in a photograph, capturing the essence of this enchanting location.
The moment is immortalised in poetry, specifically in the second collection of Bex Hainsworth titled Circulaire, published by Written Off Publishing. This signature poem, set in La Rochelle, France, beautifully encapsulates the emotions and experiences felt within the shrine.
Interested readers can purchase Circulaire directly from Written Off Publishing, continuing the journey of discovery and connection that began in the heart of Santarcangelo di Romagna. As the August heat envelopes the town, one cannot help but feel a sense of longing to return to this hidden sanctuary, where peace and poetry intertwine in a harmonious dance.
