Description

I was on holiday in Calabria for a few days, without too hard plans. I had chosen a quiet area on the Ionian coast to slow, read, breathe. One afternoon, while the sun was going down slow behind the hills, I was walking down in the center of a small village near the beach. I don't even remember the name. But I well remember that antique shop.
The shop window was a fascinating chaos of forgotten objects, and in the center, in a draining blue velvet box, she was there: a coral necklace, a hot and live red, as certain trees above the sea. I almost entered without realizing it.
The owner, a gentle elder, told me that the necklace belonged to a young woman who lived in Siderno, many years ago. He could not tell me much more, but something in that object had already captured me. I bought it.
Later, at the hotel, while opening the box, I found a letter hidden under the velvet. It was fragile and yellowed, written with an elegant calligraphy. A man declared his love to a girl who lived in a villa in Siderno, describing a magical place: a fragrant citrus grove, a small balcony overlooking the silence, and a voice that he was singing thinking of not being heard.
Those words impressed me so much that I decided, in eagerness, to go to Siderno. The village was not far away, indeed: his location immediately impressed me. It was very close to the sea, but just move some roads to find yourself surrounded by a green and hilly landscape. Perfect balance between coast and quiet.
Walking the streets of the historic center, I noticed a palm-lined avenue. I stopped. At the end of the avenue, an ancient iron gate opened its eyes onto a three-storey villa. Each different: one simple and severe, the other adorned, and the last ... elegant, with a small flowering balcony.
"Each different as you are sisters, and the last that brings your grace and overlooks alone as I am to listen to your melodious voice.
Those words were in the letter. I had no doubt: that was the house.
A man was pruning the garden. A gardener. I approached, he saw me curious and invited me inside. While we were walking between the abandoned citrus trees and the driveways invaded by the vegetation, he told me the history of the villa. It belonged to a noble family, then it had remained empty for decades. Now it was for sale.
"It needs lots of work", he told me. "But the structure is solid, and the potential ... is immense and also the land is also building"
You were right. The rooms, although dusty, had original details: grit floors, frescoed ceilings, wrought iron railings. The garden was a forgotten treasure, with ancient trees and the scent of the sea a few steps away and those two semi-detached buildings on the back of the villas, as many as can be done.
Think immediately of the possibilities: a boutique hotel, luxury apartments, a widespread resort, a place for creative retreats or doubles surrounded by greenery, with the beach within five minutes walk. Siderno is strategic: convenient connections, tourism in growth, mild climate all year round.
As I went up to the third floor, I arrived in front of the little balcony. I stopped. The wind was just moving the dusty curtains. I looked at the horizon and closed my eyes. I could almost hear that voice, prying, plastering a forgotten melody.
Maybe it was not by chance that that necklace had reached me.
And maybe this holiday didn't just have to relax ...
