Dante’s Beach, Ravenna
Daily life in Punta Marina, the next little town but one from me here on the Adriatic coast has gone globally viral after being portrayed as some kind of horror show worthy of Alfred Hitchcock.This frenzy of interest is a tiny example of how the media, all too often, will not, perhaps cannot, tell the truth.
It also shows how far too many people are so brain-washed about what matters in life that they are incapable of realising when perhaps God Himself is trying to tell them something.
Peacocks are sacred and symbolic birds. They also have a crucial connection with Ravenna that goes back to the early days of Christianity. No one knows why they are in Punta Marina but it is obviously as a result of some kind of miracle. There are about 120 of them, it is said.
Only a hysterical minority want to get rid of them, many of whom, it has to be said, are women. Plus the odd man whose shiny stainless steel chimney has been punctured by male peacocks attacking their reflections
