Tombs



A view of the cemetery in Malfa.

The tombs are niches closed on the front by a stone or(in the case of too much expense) plaster or concrete over brick.

Monte Rivi and Monte Fossa Delle Felci



The mountains above Malfa to the east. The foreground is Monte Rivi the other rises behind it in the clouds.
In 2009 Mary Burrill and I climbed this from the other side(to the right) and descended very dangerously ot the left near Santa Marina.

Toward the sea and the village



This is the Church of San Lorenzo in Malfa...most of our relatives were baptized here and the records are here. The other church has been closed for some time. The entire church was under restoration in 2009. The town is pretty much to the left and below the church.
