I have completely normal feelings about this little piece of forest in Northern Italy that has been communally owned and managed by a handful of local families since 1275 and is as of today one of the last surviving patches of lowland forests in an area otherwise dominated by rice monocultures

#the site is in italian so you'll have to forgive me #but seriously i really wish more people knew about the history of this forest #it's a living testimony to the fact that the only effective cure to capitalist destruction #is communal stewarding of the land #and it's right here surrounded by the most capitalist regions of italy #it's dear to my heart because my grandma is (was? idek) part of the partecipanza #her family was one of those original families that the marquis of monferrato gave that piece of forest to #i think we need to do more of this #and fuck those god forsaken rice monocultures i hate them so fucking much
