On way up we dropped into Dunkeld and saw the hermitage and Ossian’s Hall (pic above) and a heritage centre of local life in the 1930s. Fascinating (though long) day and we were more than happy to finally pull into the hostel on the banks of Loch Ness. Next day the crazy Scottish weather was bucketing down rain when we got to
On way from Loch Ness up the coast we found a farm shop where we went to get eggs and came out with everything from roasted smoked salmon (soooo good!) to shortbread (and the eggs of course). Not quite the plan but had a seriously good feast that night at the hostel in Canisbay. Should mention that Ve has been navigating unaided the whole time we have been driving and has been doing a brilliant job!

In the Janare Land
A trip in the depths of Irpinia ,between legends ,magics and mysterys
Antonio Emanuele PIEDIMONTE
Janare,witches, sorceress,fairy,enchantress,but also archair divinities and terrible female demons: a contemporary trip about mysterious traces of the past,between the things that survived the damages of the time and the men.
This book is an excavation between written and oral old stories which have emersed from testy monys,books.articles and vary materials which antiche legends,stories,traditions,fairytales,curious chronicle’s and many more,define themselves x files today. The vademecum is a result to look at Irpinia with another eye,the most secluded and mysterious place between the district of the secret Campania.
This volume is a kino of an “initiatory course “ without solutions that wants to provoke new questions and desires,like when you get in to the car to discover 119 Irpinia’s villages,between lunar landscapes and mysterious phenomenons places.
The inexplicable skull in the eye of the statue of holy mary of san pompilio ( the cover’s imagine),
The mummie of “ zi Vicienzo” at Bonito,going through the castle of Prince Carlo Gesualdo, the vestige of the ancient Gonza, the mefite infernal corner,the unsustainable look of mamma schiavona
Under beneath there is the secret garden of virgilio mago at montevergine-and the FAMOUS DRAGON OF VOLTURARA. On the traces of saints,demons,angels,monster,ghosts,werewolfs,souls in purgatory and many others.
This could be an excuse to go to discover new archaic messages and new secrets to reveal. The Professionals Journalist and photographer Antonio Emanuele Piedimonte of Naples has written for the principals dailies and Italian magazines,at present he is the superintendent of the Redazione Campana “city” , the freedaily of gruppo Rizzoli-Corriere della Sera.Inside his book for the “Corriere.quotidiano dell’Irpinia” the editions Intra Moenia stopped the stamp in November 2007 with the Cangiano graphic S.R.L. of Naples,a book of 215 pages titled:
“NELLA TERRA DELLE JANARE”, a trip in the depths of Irpinia,between legends,magics and mysterys,at page 183 there is VOLTURARA IRPINA:Il drago e la rosa, Antonio Emanuele Piedimonte writes………Volturara could have been one of the three cities of the etrurian dodecapolis in Campania……..after the destruction of Sabatia,the Romans conquered the antiche city Irpina more than 2000 years ago.
TODAY AT VOLTURARA THERE HAS BEEN FOUND ANINEDITED PAINTING OF THE FAMOUS ARTIST MAURITS CORNELIS ESCHER,WHICH REPRESENTS THE LEGEND OF A MODERN DRAGON,WHO LIVES IN A LAKE:THE FAMOUS “LOCH NESS MONSTER”.-
Even the POLICE MAGAZINE has published a lot of articles about the discovery of the inedited painting of the famous artist Maurits Cornelis ESCHER.
Thanks to this editorial staff there has been a press conference at Avellino which has given good interests to the mass media.

Nessie in Italian attic mystery
Mystery drawing may have been done by master illusionist

ARTISTIC CONUNDRUM: The 1949 painting entitled Loch Ness Monster and Black Man without a Face
More Pictures
Our Loch Ness Monster is famed the world over, and pops up in very strange circumstances from time to time.
Now she has surfaced at the centre of an art mystery in Italy.
This centres around a charcoal drawing dating from 1949, which is described as Loch Ness Monster and Black Man without a Face, and which could possibly have been drawn by famous Dutch artist, MC Escher.
This story of the mystery painting starts in 2005 in Volturara, a small village in the Italian province of Avellino, where traffic police officer Raffaele De Feo lives.
When clearing out his family’s attic, he found what he called “the strange picture”.
Initially he did not take any notice of it, but later, in removing the frame, he sees an inscription on the back of the picture, signed by MC Escher, which reads: “With all my heart to a friendly remembrance.”
Now some Italians are urging art experts to authenticate the work as being done by Maurits Cornelis Escher, nicknamed “Mauk", and contacted the Press and Journal to spread the world that Nessie “lives” in Italy.
Escher (1898-1972) was hailed by many as one of the world's most famous graphic artists. His art is enjoyed by millions of people all over the world, as can be seen on the many web sites on the internet. And for several years he lived and travelled in Italy.
He is most famous for his so-called impossible structures, such as Ascending and Descending, Relativity, his Transformation Prints, such as Metamorphosis I, Metamorphosis II and Metamorphosis III, Sky & Water I or Reptiles.
