PIOBBICO is a medieval Italian town, hidden between two mountains and surrounded by caves and waterfalls. It’s a very small town, two thousand people. They have a homemade-looking Piobbico sign overlooking the town, their version of the Hollywood sign.
We visited in spring. It was me and my colleagues Lauren Spohrer, Nadia Wilson, and Lindy Russell. The four of us were on a mission to find and record as many exceptional personal stories. We had ten days and a lot to do. We traveled by boat, by train, and drove a rental car up and down the autostrade. We learned about pocket coffee—small pieces of chocolate filled with espresso.
