Ceva
Ceva, the ancient Ceba, is a small Italian town in the province of Cuneo, region of Piedmont, 49 kilometres (30 mi) east of Cuneo. It lies on the right bank of the Tanaro on a wedge of land between that river and the Cevetta stream.
History
In the pre-Roman period the territory around Ceva was inhabited by the branch of the mountain Ligures known as Epanterii.
The upper Val Tanaro was Romanized in the second century BC and it is known that the area was organized around a municipium. However, it is not certain that this was Ceba: Mombasiglio is also regarded as a candidate. In the first century AD Columella referred to a particular breed of cattle raised here, and Pliny the Elder praised its sheep’s milk cheese in his Natural History. The town is on the site of the old Roman road from Augusta Taurinorum via Pollentia to the coast and it is probable that there was a market here from which the cheese produced in the region was exported with Rome via the Ligurian ports of Vada Sabatia (the modern Vado Ligure) and/or Albingaunum (Albenga).

by: Zee AviFlowers in the ground they wilt way
Sun in the sky it fades away
Make the funniest shapes from the clouds so grey
The breeze in the trees they blow my way
I was told my soul was old
Then why can't I understand it all
If my soul was really old
I wonder if I could change this world
Life has given me obstacles
Still I bite my tongue say it's wonderful
I'm just glad I'm still around
I'm even more glad when things are down
But you, you came to break me
Oh you, you came to save me
Life's too short for what if's and plans
So let the day take you by the hand
Get your filofax we'll go and burn them
But I'm too old for 'damn the man'
I make a wish on a star at night
The brightest star that's in the sky
Only to have realized
That it was just a satellite
But you, you came to calm me
