Italy is mine

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

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.

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!

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

Spring has arrived earlier this year, thanks to Morrissey and his European tour which has started in Aarhus in mid-February and has finished tonight in Seville. I have not yet the time to finish all my posts about the four ( they should have been five ) concerts I have had the chance to attend (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Lille and Zurich) and this rentrée will not allow me to write more, at least for the next two weeks. Below, some pics of Morrissey's concert in Seville, via Getty

A quiet walk in my favourite Parisian park, far from Hell and evil people. Unfortunately, it is also far from Seville, where Morrissey will sing tonight. Sing and shine tonight, Fantastic Bird! Art is an Eternal Spring. I hope I will see You again in Europe this year, during my school holidays. Below, some flowers from my havre de paix in Paris. Photos by me.

Avoiding social media is a very healthy thing: it spares time and energy for better things to do than be bullied or involved in silly polemics by unknown people whose existence depends on how many likes and shares they get for what they post or (more often) they repost: meaningless and even fake contents, gossip and ragebait stuff; and, of course, everything is trendy because it allows more visibility, likes and shares. Thus, and not surprisingly, the social mob is exploiting

Milano is an awful city, dull, shallow, frivolous, corrupted, polluted, extremely expensive and impossible to live for the working class people, but I would have endured the pain of going there just for attending Morrissey's concert tonight. Unfortunately, school holidays are over and tomorrow I have to come back to the chain gang, but I am sure that it will be a great concert and I do hope somebody will post on YouTube some videos or even the full concert. Sing and shine, Si

Because Alma always matters! See You tomorrow in Zurich, Morrissey: The Hall is ready and there are plenty of posters on its glass windows, and also on the artist and the backstage doors.

Another fantastic concert yesterday night, and so happy it was during school holidays, otherwise I could have not attended it. Screenshot from my own video of the concert, from the first row, during I just want to see the Boy Happy. These beautiful yellow shirt and flowers do speak books to me. It is always a pleasure to hear and see Morrissey from the first row, fully enjoying his lovely singing and talking voice, his energy on the stage, his passion when he sings and all th

Another sunny day in Lille: I have never been here before and I am happy to stroll and enjoy its beauty before Morrissey's concert tomorrow. I am happy to spend valuable time with my French friends M. and D., who arrived in Lille this afternoon. In 2023 and in 2025 I have met many nice people at Morrissey's gigs and, as they do not live in Paris like me, we are glad to met again when this is possible. Back to my hotel, I took some pictures of the full moon, which attracts me

Above: pictures by M., who has also kindly sent me some beautiful pictures of the concerts in Frankfurt and Esch-sur-Alzette. Merci beaucoup ! Below: a little message to Morrissey from me, written on my diary this morning, in Rotterdam. I have the ticket, but I am still waiting for an appointment for my passport.

Rotterdam, de Doelen, sold out. Well done, Silver Boy! See You tomorrow. To YOU Vera da Pozzo Rotterdam, 23rd February 2026 Above: pictures taken this evening. After having enjoyed the wild wind this afternoon, during a long and very pleasant walk in Rotterdam, I was feeling a bit trapped in my warm room at the hotel, so I took another walk in the evening for more fresh air. A guy asked me: "You are lost?" and I would have answered: "Everybody is lost" but I do not think he k

Just some pictures taken by me in Rotterdam this evening, and also a drawing I made in Paris very early this morning. Above: a strange grape of red fruits on a tree. These red lanterns has reminded me that the year of the Horse has just started. I have bravely waited in the cold wind of Rotterdam's night until I have seen, on the screen of de Doelen, the announcement of Morrissey's gig: a short from Suedehead 's video clip, directed by Tim Broad . Written by Morrissey and St

Thank God, I am on school holidays and on the road again. Above: Paris, Gare du Nerd - I mean, Gare du Nord. Below: it seems that the only vegan porridge I am allowed to enjoy is this one, made and served by a Spanish or Spanish-speaking guy in Paris, at the Europe's busiest railway station . As it was not painful enough to leave my Motherland in order to find my place in the World, the Italian government treats very badly its expats and the platform for getting an appointmen

Some beautiful flowers from my favourite Parisian park. Picture taken by me this morning, before starting my last day of work before Winter school holidays. Sing and Shine Tonight, Fantastic Bird...

See You soon in Rotterdam! To YOU Vera da Pozzo Paris, 17th February 2026 Above: Morrissey in Frankfurt tonight, while singing Lost , a song I love so much, which haunts me since last August, after the end of the European tour. This beautiful photo was taken and sent to me by M. from Lyon: she attended the concert in Hambourg too and tonight she is in the first row. I am very happy for her and very grateful for the picture she has sent me. I think she could have waited the en

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

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
