Italy is mine

Picture taken by me in Hambourg, today. Two years ago I wrote an article about Saint Valentine . This tiny, beautiful german dog perfectly illustrates what True Love is, whether you are a human being or another kind of animal living on Earth.

Under the snow, like a children's tale, the road to Hamburg is my childhood dream. As if he wants the past to come back, someone who was a young man when I was a child is listening to Take on Me . What a joy to hear and see the seagulls! Above: photos taken by me this morning, at my arrival in Hamburg. Below: other pictures taken by me this evening.

I am on tour again - not the whole tour, of course, but as many gigs as I can. Above, The Smiths key ring I bought in a music shop in Dublin last year, the day before Morrissey's first concert of the 2025 Spring-Summer Tour. Below, my companion for this night trip: he is meant to be a cushion, but I am not sure I want him to put his arms around my neck: I would rather cuddle him instead. Well, after having a short nap before midnight, while we have left France and entered Bel

Above : 2026 UK & Europe t-shirt. Below: a little drawing made by me on my diary today, before flying away from Paris. Sing and Shine in Aarhus, Silver Boy! See You soon in Hamburg and in some other Countries. Edit: from the good side of Morrissey-solo (I mean, the informative one) the setlist of Morrissey's concert in Denmark (a bunch of classics I love and I haven't heard live yet) and a snippet of A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours with Pier Paolo Pasolini on the back

Thank you, Morrissey, for confirming I was right, because I knew, I knew, I knew that you were and are still here in Paris. Picture taken by me... if only! I am joking, of course, but I know It's gonna happen Someday . Article by me, post from Morrissey Central with a picture of Morrissey taken today by an Unknown Creature near Notre-Dame of Paris . After Make-up is a Lie , released last month, the new single Notre-Dame is released today. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 6th February 2

An update from Morrissey Central . I find very Morriseyesque that the announcement is a quote from the 1931 film Frankenstein . I have always been fascinated by all kind of monsters, except the real ones: the Final Judgement by Coppo di Marcovaldo, Hieronymus Bosch's, Peter Bruegel's and Salvador Dalí's paintings naturally attracted me when I was a very young child; and, of course, I loved Frankenstein's Creature and especially Boris Karloff interpretating Him.

Again I felt You were here Again The first time was in Paris Two years ago The second time in Rome Last year And the third time in Paris In January Again Between last Saturday And this Monday How is it possible?

MMXXVI Below: resized image of a picture taken in Miami on 22d January by someone who had the chance to be there: I will edit my article when I find the name or the nickname of the photographer.

Drawing made by me this afternoon, after having worked with my pals on our next cabaret show, which will take place in May. The model for my homage to this great writer and feminist is a lovely picture with her father, Leslie Stephen, taken in 1902 , when Virginia was twenty years old and her father was in his seventieth year. Picture by the renowned photographer George Charles Beresford. Article by me, as always, without using Artificial Idiocy. Vera da Pozzo An Italian in P

Waiting for the end of the Murder that is Meat production and consummation, the UK has banned the cruel transport of living animals. Below, the post on Morrissey Central about this good news . These things take time, but... I know it's gonna happen someday. There are lesser and lesser carnivores, while the number of vegans and vegetarians constantly increases. Can you find the song quotes I put in my little post? Vera da Pozzo Paris, 24th January A. D. MMXXVI (C) Vera da Poz

Did They collect the letters for You? Are You reading them now, perhaps? Who knows? I am waiting, but in Far-Off Places, So Here is my Message to You: Three Words... Sing and Shine! Vera da Pozzo 22nd (in Hollywood) 23rd (in Paris) January 2026 Poem and article by me, of course. Morrissey will sing at the Hard Rock in Miami, Hollywood, FL, USA. I DO HOPE Morrissey will sing World Peace is None of Your Business tonight and/or (even better) when I see him again in Europe... S

As I am going to work, I have just the time to post my favourite artwork inspired by Saint Sebastian: the stunningly beautiful picture by the great Renaissance painter Antonello from Messina. I was a very young and extremely curious child who found the best nourishment in books, art and music, and I have always been fascinated by the iconography of Saint Sebastian, and Antonello's masterwork is my favourite because of Sebastian's stoic expression of resignation and His inner

I have just found on YouTube an interesting video about the music composed by Camila Grey for the new Morrissey's single and album title-track Make-up is a Lie . Thanks to Alex from Morrissey Unofficial Videos for posting on YouTube his collab with Sam from @theironbridge who is on IG, because, as I do not want IG & Co. , I cannot see his contents. I am not sure about who the Poet is (the hypothesis about Gertrude Stein do not convince me) and, by the way. I do not think M

Thank God, and against all odds, I managed to finish my artwork on Wednesday evening, just in time for the collective exhibition in Paris. My drawings were ready the day before but, as I had to get up very early to go to work on Wednesday, I had to put up the whole artwork and write the message (which is also its title) in the evening, during the vernissage. Even if it was absolutely not planned - and, to be honest, I would rather have my artwork already on the wall - it was

Jet trails in the blue Sky Like the game we used to play When I was a little Child We played it again, few years ago And our Happiness was the same Are You still playing now, there? I wish I could lie On the Cat's Cradle Swinging from the Sky To the Unique and Irreplaceable One Vera da Pozzo 17th January 2026 Poem above and picture below by me. The cat's cradle is called in Italian "ripiglino" (from the verb "ripigliare", which means "to take again") but I remember that it w

I hate it, but I have to surrender if I want to get well soon. This week I had to go to work, malgré tout , on Wednesday and Thursday, taking the tram, the métro , the train and the bus (and the way back) because I had no choice (but there was also an excellent reason to be out and about on Wednesday evening) and yesterday took a short walk in my beloved Park, but I was not in good shape. It is just a mild flu, worsened by the frenetic rythm of my working week. I avoid any t
