The history of the months: June

June, the month of the sun

I could start with the words of the singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini:

June, who are the maturity of the year, I thank God for you:

on one of your days, under the hot sun, I was born there, I was born there…
And with the harvest you have in your hands you bring us your treasure,
with your ears you give bread to men, gold to women, gold to women…

(from “The Song of the Twelve Months”, in the album Roots, 1972, by Francesco Guccini.)
