Italy is mine

George Rae, a Southern like me, but from England, attended Morrissey's concert in Berlin and - as me and two other people from Germany and Poland - spent the night before at the Zitadelle: it was nice to meet him in person because I like the videos he makes and shares on YouTube. Morrissey publicly thanked him during the concert: a nice gesture of gratitude that did not surprise me, for I know very well how Morrissey is genuinely grateful to the people who love his art. Thus,

Photos taken by me: the first one during my travel by train in the North of Italy and the second one at my arrival in my Country, when I found a quiet and fresh place away from the crowd, the noise and the heatn where I spent some time in meditation and prayer, while waiting for my InterCity.

Zurich See, yesterday. As I had not the time to visit the lake last March, when I saw Morrissey in Dübendorf, I stopped in Zurich during my travel from Berlin to Italy. How beautiful, peaceful and joyful! I spent more than six hours there, cruising and enjoying the Beauty of this wonderful place.

Overwhelmed by the truly good vibes of Tuesday's concert, and very busy visiting Berlin yesterday, I start to write this article during another long travel by train - happily, this time it is a direct traject without connections to take. Another stunning concert by Morrissey, the only, real Wordsmith of the Soul. Above: detail of a picture I took during I know it's over, from Morrissey's earlier repertoire with his late band, The Smiths. Below, another photo taken by me durin

Enjoying everything of this night, even the rain. Sing and Shine, Silver Boy! Vera da Pozzo Berlin, Spandau Zitadelle, 7th July 2026

After spending another lovely day in Berlin (a very rainy Monday, after a sunny Sunday) this evening I went to the Zitadelle in order to check the venue and now I am staying here for the night. Why? Because the place is quiet and charming, despite the mosquitos sticking to my fingers and trying to get to my neck (no, thanks, tiny Draculas: I do not want your kisses) and the crickets are so chatty that I wish I could join their conversation: they certainly have a lot of intere

Last weekend, I saw and heard plenty of sparrows in Lillestrøm and Oslo: a joy for the eyes, the ears, the heart and the soul. I remembered the old and happy times, when sparrows were numerous in our street and their joyous chirping filled our tiny garden and echoed into our modest home. Back to Paris, where, as in Palermo, the sparrows' population have dramatically decreased since 2005, I have had the joy to see them in various places where their survival is made possible by

Not surprisingly - to me - it was a fantastic concert and I am extremely happy to be there for the première live of two songs (and also singles) from Make-up is Lie: Zoom Zoom the Little Boy and Kerching Kerching.

When The Smiths split because Johnny Marr left the band, I was just a child in primary school and I found it was such a pity, but, since then, I have never wished The Smiths made up, and I have never hoped the creative tandem Morrissey & Marr came back and worked together again. The Smiths is dead since 1987 and, after a short time when Craig Gannon, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce played together at the very beginning of Morrissey's solo career, all former band members embraced,

I have been patiently waiting for my copy since April; now my copy will patiently wait for me at the Fnac in Paris for just few days more. A 7 inch will be released in September with two singles: Kerching Kerching (from the album Make-up is a Lie) + Isle of Dogs, which was mentioned by Alain Whyte around three years ago.
