Old village house

This is taken in Sadali, a village in the mountains of central Sardinia.

A curious thing to be noticed: on the door there is painted a date: OK DDT 21.2,1950
That was due to the campaign against the malaria that the Americans (Rockfeller foundation) have done just after the war, spreading extensively DDT everywhere. Thanks to that malaria disappeared in Sardinia. They used to paint the date once they sprayed the insecticide.
