Italy is mine

A lovely sunny day spent with some friends. Too much sun, maybe - at least for me; but the air was fresh and the birds sang so gently in my favourite Parisian park before the closing time. Today we celebrate the 81st Anniversary of the Liberation of Italy from Fascism and Nazi German occupation. I would have loved to be in Italy on this day, like last year, but the date of the new cabaret show is near and Sunday rehearsals and filages cannot be missed. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 25

During my school holidays in Paris, I am glad to have had the chance to go to the Irish Cultural Centre tonight and watch Clouded Reveries by Ciara Nic Chormaic: a stunning interview-documentary with and about the poet and essayist Doireann Ní Ghríofa, an interesting figure in the Irish literary world. I would have loved to meet her but there was just the director, a resident artist at the Irish Cultural Centre: Ciara Nic Chormaic is a lovely and friendly lady - as all the Ir

More concerts to enjoy, more Countries and cities to discover, from the North to the South next Summer, plus Paris and Brussels in December. See you in two months, Fantastic Bird!

My school holidays start with good news... Morrissey in Europe again: many dates this Summer, and three more concerts later in the year: Paris (la Seine musicale) on 3rd December, Netherlands and Belgium at the ending of 2026. It's time to check my agenda. Below, the new European poster and my screenshot of today's post on Morrissey Central. "Hello Hell" was written on the drumkit in 2023. Oh, the irony!

How do You come to Me Through the Night's Heart Into the Day's Start? What or Who is the Force That silently guides You In my Bed and my Dreams?

Your Last Words The Night before The Eternal One Still haunt Me They made me laugh That night And they make me cry Since then I could not imagine You were about to leave I did never expect What You would tell Me And since that Night, Your Last One on this Sad, Mad, Bad World, Your Words I behold Your Strange Prophecy Was Your Farewell Gift Everything that happened, happens And will Happen since that Night Bears the Sweet Seal of Mystery Put by Your Surprising Last Words To th

Article coming as soon as possible. I will write it during my upcoming holidays . Meanwhile, a photo I took on the seventh anniversary of the fire that destroyed the ancient roof and a part of Notre-Dame of Paris. As I had an afternoon off, I came back to Paris earlier and I went to Notre-Dame and then to the Irish Cultural Centre, near the Panthéon. Vera da Pozzo, Paris, 15th April A.

Share some green tea with me in the quiet courtyard at the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris.

Without waiting for the general sale this Friday, I got my tickets for Morrissey's concerts in Cernobbio and Asti on presale at 11 A. M. today. Let's wait and see when the concerts which were announced at first will be scheduled.

So, as I guessed, last Saturday, the post Italia on Morrissey Central has been republished this Monday , and we have had another post from Morrissey on the same day, Italy is You and Me , with a fan video by George Rae of You're right, It's Time , the opening track of Morrissey's new album Make-up is a Lie , starring Pier Paolo Pasolini. Below, the stunningly beautiful picture of Morrissey taken during his concert in my Sicily, at Villa Bellini in Catania, on 31st July. I wi

This lovely and very shy cat is not easy to be seen because of the noisy crowd of pupils and students, but this morning (even if I am free from courses on Monday this year) I had to go to school today - I met him or her again: I was so happy because of this unexpected meeting that I felt that it would have been a good day from the start. I zoomed a lot for taking the picture below because I did not want to scare the White Cat by approaching him (or her) too near. This lovely

I cannot explain how , but I knew that today I would have found on Morrissey Central some news about the next tour... I was right, and absolutely not disappointed at all. Morrissey will be back to Italy during school holidays, like last year, which makes things much easier. And how I love to see my Country's name always written in Italian on Morrissey's posts. See you in nearby places, Silver Boy! Vera da Pozzo Paris, 11th April 2026 Below: screenshots of the announcement

There are not news yet of the new European tour, but we have news about new releases tomorrow and on Morrissey's birthday . About the picture of the post on Central, I am sure that Dave Musheigan took it at the concert in Rome, where Morrissey wore a red shirt, whilst in Lucca he was wearing the same blue-grey flower shirt he wore for the concert at the Gasometer in Vienna. By the way, I am glad I could attend all these three fantastic concerts and I do hope I will able to at

Vera da Pozzo Paris, 8th April 2026 Notes: I like symbols, but I dislike superstitions. Good luck is a state of mind: everything good or bad is inside us and it is up to us to choose which side (i. e., feelings, emotions and thoughts) we want to be on. The Art of Happiness is a lif
