My last day at Gramsci was Thursday, and now my summer has officially begun. To celebrate, my classmates and I all brought cakes, cookies, bread, drinks, and other sweets to school. I brought chocolate chip cookies and they were a big hit. After two hours inside the school running around, listening to our friends playing the guitar, and pigging out on our snacks, we went to the garden inside the school, and watched Gavettoni begin. At the end of every year on the last day, everyone participates in a water battle (Gavettoni). I only took pictures at the beginning of the fight, because after it got ugly. Alice told me that normally kids bring eggs and flour to the fight, but fortunately this year there was only flour. However, once the students ran out of flour, they began to throw leaves and roll each other in the dirt. It was a great way to end the year.
I also attached a picture from a day trip that Massimo and I took on Sunday to the vineyards of Chianti.
