The problem is really very simple.
In Pojana is a restaurant with
two characteristic but conflicting properties.
First, it is located just behind a corner when
arriving from the direction of Riva
San Vitale. Second, the resaurant is on the
left side of the road whereas the terras is on
the lake, meaning on the right side. So there is
a lot of wild crossing. And coffee, and wine and
pizzas and so forth.
Drivers have to break, often late, often hard.
Myself, I am one of those drivers who have to break
late and hard. I drive an old green Citroen
2CV, which goes smoothly along the lake side,
in the sun rooftop open, at 70 km/h. |

The idea of 'roasted' wild crossing was soon born,
back in 2001, when we first lived in Brusino
Arsizio - briefly interrupted by a two year
stay in Zurich. However, it took until this summer
(2006) to realize the idea. First a sketch on
the computer - much easier to make small corrections
- followed by an afternoon playing with paint
and card-board. got the job done.
