The names of the caves
As a boy, his grandmother Lughia would take him to the mouths of the Supramonte caves, between Oliena and Dorgali, and tell him in the dark the old name of each gallery. She wasn't teaching him geography: she was teaching him to know a place by the sound of its dripping. Hush and listen — the place tells you where you are, the old woman would repeat.
