Vera da Pozzo, an Italian expat in Paris.

From the Island of the Sun to the Isle of France.

My pseudonym Vera da Pozzo is a pun alluding to what I care about most : truth and loyalty, depth and insight. In my mother tongue, the syntagma "vera da pozzo" means a puteal, but it could be a female name followed by a family name. Water is indispensable for living, and we need to keep it pure and unpolluted; it is the same for truth.
I write in English because I love this language since my childhood and also because English allows me to have a more detached view on both Italy and France. The title of my personal website and blog is a paraphrasis of the verse "England is mine and it owes me a living", from Morrissey's song "Still Ill", released in The Smiths debut album "The Smiths" on 20th February 1984. As Italy had nothing to offer to young people like me, I decided to throw my arms around Paris, as Oscar Wilde did, and I am still here. Like francophone actor Lino Ventura, I am and I will always be Italian.

Releases News

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
