1️⃣0️⃣ The walls tell | "Shucking the indian corn" (I muri raccontano... | «Spannocchiando il granoturco»)

Another moment of rural life: the shucking.

Families gathered to separate the corn from its leaves.

The leaves were used to fill pillows and mattresses, the grains were brought to the mill for grinding: more rough, if intended for animals, or finer intended for the use of the population.

The walls tell... | Project information

The municipal project "I muri raccontano..." (The walls tell...) is a major camouflage of the town created by Luigi Amerio: through pictorial art, the walls and house facades represent Fontanile's past from the Middle Ages to the present day.
