Isiqhingi sase-Italian sokuthakazelisa
I-Portovenere (noma i-Porto Venere) iyidolobha elimangalisayo, elihle kakhulu eMedithera, eningizimu yeCinque Terre noGenoa, nasenyakatho yeLiborno. Kusemfundeni yeLiguria kanye nesifundazwe saseLa Spezia. Noma kunjalo azi ukuthi ikuphi? Yebo, angizange ngize, kuze kube yilapho isikebhe sethu sokuhamba ngomkhumbi senza isikhulu kuPorto Venere. Njengoba indaba yavela, ngathokoza ukuthi yenze.
Sasihamba ngeMedithera sisuka e-Barcelona siya eRoma, futhi umkhumbi wethu wawuhlelelwe ukuvakashela iProtofino eMfuleni wase-Italy usuku.
Kodwa-ke, safika esimweni esithile sezulu esibi, futhi umphathi wemikhumbi yethu encane yemikhumbi yamemezela ukuthi asikwazi ukuqinisa i-Portofino ngenxa yolwandle olubi. Esikhundleni sePortofino, sasiya ePortovenere.
Akekho owayesemkhunjini owayeke wezwa ngo- Portovenere . Kodwa, sasiyonke umdlalo we-adventure. Ichweba lasePortovenere lalivikelekile kakhulu, futhi njengoba sibheke ngaphesheya komzana omncane, ngangizizwa ngifudumele futhi ngiphumule. Ngangazi ukuthi sisezinsuku ezithakazelisayo.
Abasebenzi bezimoto zokuhamba ngemikhumbi bebehamba nezivakashi ezimbalwa zokugcina umfula ePisa naseLa Spezia ukushintsha labo esibaphuthele ePortofino. Basitshela (futhi kwaqinisekiswa ngabanye abagibeli) ukuthi uPortovenere wayebukeka sengathi u-Portofino wayenamashumi eminyaka adlule. Idolobha lasePortovenere lalibukeka lihle kakhulu kangangokuba sanquma ukuzulazula idolobha ngalolo suku. Kwakuyisinqumo esihle. Njengoba sinebalazwe lezinto ezihlinzekwa umkhumbi, sithatha ithenda lomkhumbi.
NjengaseYurophu eningi, uPortovenere unomlando othakazelisayo obuyela ezikhathini zobuhedeni. Indawo yasemadolobheni yayijwayele ukuba ithempeli kuVenus Erycina, okuvela kuyo igama elithi Portovenere. Kwakuyisikhungo samanzi ngisho nangaleso sikhathi, futhi sekuhilelekile ezinkingeni eziningi phakathi neminyaka. Ukude kakhulu kwaba yimpi phakathi kukaGenoa noPisa (1119-1290).
Inqaba eyayibukela iProtovenere kusukela ephakeme ngamadwala ngaphezu komzana kwakuyisixhobo esibalulekile sokuzivikela phakathi nale mpi.
Namuhla iProvenvenere iyindlela eya eCinque Terre . Uhambo oluhamba ngezinyawo olubhekene nolwandle nsuku zonke, lunikeza abagibeli ithuba lokuba nombono wezinye izindawo ezivusa amadlingozi eMedithera. Umzila oya eCinque Terre uqala lapha, kepha ukuhamba kuyinde kakhulu futhi kudinga ukuphulwa kuze kube ngaphezu kosuku olulodwa.
Usuku lwethu ePortovenere kwaba yimvula, usuku oludliwayo, ngakho sasihudula ngezambulela zethu. Izindonga ezinkulu zomuzi zakhiwa ngo-1160. Saqala ukuhamba emigwaqweni emincane eya eSontweni likaSt. Peter (S. Pietro). Kwakusezingeni elibhekene neGulf of la Spezia. Ngisho nesimo sezulu sezulu, iMedithera e-grotto engaphansi kwebandla kwakuwumbala omuhle we-azure. I-Genoese yakha isonto njengomvuzo wabakhamuzi basePorto Venere ngosizo lwabo ekuthatheni inqaba yaseRecici.
Ngemva kokudabula esontweni, saqala izindlela eziqinile, ezinamadwala enqabeni. Izindlu zazimangalisa, futhi ngamunye wabhalwa ngetayili ehlukile. Simangala "kumuntu wamanzi". Wayesebenzisa inqola yamandla ephethiloli egcwala ingilazi yamanzi engilazi ayeyihambisa kubantu bakuleli.
Inqola yayinezinyawo njenge-tank futhi "ingahamba" phezulu nangaphansi kwezinyathelo ezibanzi zomzila wendawo. Kwakuyinto enhle kakhulu! Ngesikhathi sakhuphukela enqabeni, kwase kunqabile ukuwa. Umbono wePortovenere ngezansi wawuhle kakhulu. Inqaba yakhiwa okokuqala ngo-1161, kodwa yakhiwa kabusha kakhulu ngo-1458.
Eduzane ne-castle akutholakali okuhle kumabalazwe amaningi. Kuyindawo yamathuna, futhi ibonisa umbono wezilwandle ngezansi. Sithole ukuthi amathuna amnandi kakhulu. Eziningi ze-crypts ku-mausoleum zinezithombe zomuntu oshonile kuzo, kusukela ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20. Kwakusithakazelisa kakhulu ukubona izithombe zezakhamuzi zamathuna.
Sabuyela emuva siye emzaneni futhi sihlola ezinye zezitolo. Abantu babenobungane, futhi bajabule ngokuba nomkhumbi wethu nabagibeli bayo abangu-114 esangweni.
Kusukela ekubukeni kwami kokuqala ePortovenere, ngangazi ukuthi kuyoba indawo ethakazelisayo yokuchitha usuku. Ngangiqinisile. Kuzo zonke, ngiyajabula ukuthi sasimangalisa isiNtaliyane!
