SOME PLACES I CAN REMEMBER solely by smell. After almost four weeks in Cagli, I find myself recognizing and associating smells with this place.
       Walking down the streets, I can catch snatches of flowery scents from windowsills, and the warm, hearty smell of pasta and food being cooked during pausa.
       I will always remember the cold, dark smell of the Atrium. Each caffe’ that I’ve come to know so well has a unique, signature scent. The gelateria exudes the sugary sweetness of all its wonderful flavors.
       In America, I’ll be without these smells. There may be some close imitation of them, something that instantly reminds me of Cagli, but it will never be as genuine.
