Lodola Capellata (the Hooded Lark)
Above all birds he loved the little lark, known in the language of the country as lodola capellata (the hooded lark). he used to say of it, "Sister lark has a hood like a Religious and is a humble bird, for whe walks contentedly along the road to find grain, and even if she finds it among the rubbish, she pecks it out and eats it."
