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.

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!

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

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

Just before switching my smartphone to the flight mode, yesterday, I found some good news. If Morrissey-solo was just an informative forum, it would be a fantastic place, but there are too many angry, bitter and nasty people who seem having nothing else to do in their life than complaining, bitching and mobbing: I guess that All You need is Me is dedicated to them, and probably If You don't like Me, then don't look at Me too. Even if I had to go to work today, because Epipha

Near a tree, I saw this short sentence: The memory of a smile stays forever. I still remember, as if it was yesterday, the reasons, the moments and the people (humans and animals) that made me smile, and I also remember very well the smiles I put on other people's faces, especially when these people are dear to me. Someone Very Special will smile again soon. Vera da Pozzo Italy 4th January, 2026 (C) Vera da Pozzo (C) Italy is Mine (C) Italy is Mine and It owes Me a Living #a

I wish to dedicate to a very special and important Friend the picture below, and the other photographs I took today and posted here. I took the picture above by accident, this morning, while following the flight of a Magpie I had just photographed (see below) but I got instead this Perfect Blue. I did not resize this picture because I wanted it in its whole size and its absolute blueness. Around midday, I was strolling near the river and I took many pictures. The fresh water
