Recordist's notes
we reach the Campo, a huge semi-circular piazza in the center of the city. We sit down at the edge, in the vicinity of one of the many sidewalk cafes. Glasses are just cleaned. The place fills up gradually. In the middle a platform is built. / wir erreichen den Campo, einen riesigen halbrunden Platz in der Mitte der Stadt, der nach vorne hin schrägt abfällt. Wir setzen uns an den Rand, in die Nähe von einen der vielen Straßencafes. Gläser werden gerade geputzt. Der Platz füllt sich nach und nach. Vorne ist eine Tribüne aufgebaut.
