Hi everyone,

little offtopic, but does anyone of you knows something about the
people, living in the houses close to Sassi del Cane: Mitra di
S.Ambrogio and Rosa Fresca?

Offtopic because of the non-direct-border-context, but interesting for
me to know, if there are living "special" people (like the Barclay
brothers living on this Island close to Sark, trying to build their own
country).

Regards, Chris
