Hustopece!

Pubblico il racconto di Spud, di un sabato pomeriggio in giro per la moravia...

"Approfittando della visita ai genitori da parte un amico, sabato decidiamo di seguirlo e passare qualche ora del pomeriggio in quel di Hustopece, un villaggio moravo 30 km a sud di Brno.. con l’intenzione di andare a mangiare qualcosa e fare un giro del paese, giusto per passare una giornata alternativa.

Arriviamo all’ora di pranzo e il nostro amico prima di fare visita ai parenti ci accompagna nella piazza principale.. e probabilmente l’unica.. indicandoci un portone che dovrebbe fungere da information center. The town looks like a typical Czech village .. Moravian or better .. nothing special but it's always nice to visit a new place .. then we go happily to the information center, we open the door .. there seems to be nobody but suddenly out of a door boldly three young .. two boys and a girl ... dressed as carnival, already quite drunk at one o'clock in the afternoon .. when we tell them that we Italians are obviously surprised by our presence .. greet us warmly and the healthiest of the three, who also spoke a bit 'English, shows us the way to a restaurant that day and informs us that there is a kind of celebration of the country.

We set off in search of the restaurant, but we do not find .. although there are two roads on the cross .. maybe we were a bit 'back to sleep .. maybe it was too dodger .. still folded in the first place they call the restaurant to eat it too .. .. you save only the beer.

Fill a bit 'stomachs and go to the area that the guys we had masked listed as the venue. We find that this is the 'Masopust', a kind of carnival in the area. Feature this carnival is not so much use masks and clothes - except the three that we met there are very few others - but consume alcohol, and specifically, since we are in Moravia, the wines of place. With around 150 crowns (6 euros), take two glasses, and 10 coupons for wine tasting (10 cl each) for use in cellars, private homes and premises used as places of different distribution of various types of wines.

There is also something to eat, try some of the sweet spot with the ricotta, very good, and find a stall where they sell a kind of smoked ham, cut thick, served with bread and pate. The characters behind the bar are worthy of note, those who served had probably already done a few laps in the cellar, and three bring us 10 minutes to cut four slices of bread. Much more expeditious is the cashier, who throw it all together .. dish, ham, bread and all the trimmings, on a scale, and no one knows by what mathematical calculation of the specific weight of the food .. communicate the price, even if the doubt that a small number case is unfounded.

We remain intrigued by then we see two letters painted on the cheeks of most of the partygoers, H and M.. making some interpretation, is that he is more enlightened to indicate single or engaged .. even if it is a bit 'unlikely to be so evenly distributed as the average age is quite advanced, so we decided to ask a beautiful young man in the place, which reveals to us that is going to Hostupecky Masopust, and that then both have all the letters .. and saw that it was equipped with the Pencil Black also decided to leave on our cheeks the memory of the day.

Now that we have the letters printed in face we can be truly part of Masopust, we turn to the various wineries, every now and then dare anyone with a few words of Czech, and the past 4, when many people begin to falter, we begin to think that our friend has forgotten us. We shall still hear in a cellar and a guy yells at us' eeeh! Italian! Mafiozzo! Sizziliia! ', Can not remember who it was but oh well, it's time to call his friend so do not abandon us to Hustopece, cosi torniamo verso la macchina in piazza, non prima di essere fermati da alcuni visitatori da paesi limitrofi che ci chiedono indicazioni sulla festa… ormai ci sentiamo integrati nel villaggio.. visto che siamo finiti col dare informazioni alla gente del posto… e quindi è con un po’ di malinconia che lasciamo Hustopece per tornare a Brno."

Cosa aggiungere? la festa era per celebrare la fine dell'inverno, non un vero e proprio carnevale (almeno da quello che ho capito...), le cantine molto belle alcune, ruspanti altre, la bella giornata, le musiche ed i canti locali, atmosfera serena.

Le giornate dedicate al vino moravo valgono la pena... ;)
