Ancestry by Maria Cinanni Brave travellers have landed here, on these warm beaches of the Ionian Sea— greek heroes, and recently, war-worn fugitives. The Bronzes of Riace still look like heroes— their muscles and curls once mistaken for seaside creatures. From the nearby hills of olive groves and sunshine, the waters seem to speak of miracles. The sun was friendly when I first came to the land you loved so much. © 2001 by Maria Cinanni. All rights reserved. Home
