Italy is mine

On my way back to Paris by train, my throat and my nostrils dry and hurt by toxic smoke of the fires lit this morning by the bastards casseurs outside Alcatraz, how comforting was to watch some videos of Morrissey's concert in Lowell on YouTube. Thanks to the person who posted them and thank you, Morrissey, for being real and true to yourself and to us. Silver Boy, your Light never goes out! Enjoy a lovely break before the second leg of your US tour, in two weeks. To YOU Vera

Despite the waste of time going from Paris to Alcatraz and back, I had a lovely day and I found a new friend in my lovely Parisian park and we enjoyed lunchtime together. Article and photographs by me, taken in my dearest locus amœnus, just before going to four-letter word.

Standing firm A Hard Day's Night But it's all right Far from the Fight Mr. Shankly Standing blankly Is so frankly Unanointed Disappointed And Disjointed For I resist And rise my Fist And still persist Vera da Pozzo Paris , 23rd September 2026 Poem above and photo below by me.

When I was finally back to Paris, I felt I would have found more messages to cheer me up, so I had a look

Whatever happens, my Friend, I'll always think of you kindly. To YOU Vera da Pozzo So far, yet so near 18th September 2026, 22:22 Micro-poem above, added article [update] and photos are all by me, as usual. Below, picture taken this afternoon: one of my favourite spots in my dear Parisian park. [Update on the same day - evening in Paris, France - afternoon in Chicago, Illinois] So, just after posting my message, I took a look at Morrissey Central and I found this post. I do l

I was walking in my Park Surrounded by the Trees When I felt your Presence Running through my Legs Up to my Arms and Shoulders As Shivers of Joy and Delight Just like the Pure Pleasure that The Fresh Breeze and the Warm Sun Give Me on a Late Summer Saturday You are Nature, my Friend; and so am I And the Brave Sequoia which stands Tall As a Link between the Earth and the Sky Reminds Me of your Precious Words Whatever the Hell happens in my Life I stand Firm, Proud and True to

Every time I go to Père Lachaise visiting Oscar Wilde's tomb I always think of his loyal friend and lover Robert Ross, who is anonymously buried with him and I say a prayer for both of them. I have always admired Robbie's courage and his loyal, lifelong affection towards Oscar. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 1st September 2026 Short article above and photo below by me.

Please, be patient, my Dearest Friend: I did not forget the Promise I made And despite all the Worries I've had And still have, I will keep It, for I care.

After having unconfortably stood for almost two hours in a crowded train during the first leg of my trip, i. e., from Somewhere in the North of Italy to Milan, and after having waited for the Frecciarossa Milano-Parigi praying and meditating in the tiny Station Chapel, very fittingly dedicated to Santa Maria del Cammino, I am now on my way to Paris. To come back again to the huge, crowded and noisy Milano Centrale Station was not as appealing as it was in July, when I had a v

Summer has not finished yet, but holidays are almost over and I'll soon return to Paris... I love every season, but Summer has always meant the season of freedom...

To me, Charles Trenet is THE French singer and songwriter, the one who put Poetry and Popular song together and also the most beautiful French singing voice. If my plans had worked as I had intended, I would have moved to Dublin instead of Paris, but, even if I have always had more affinity with Ireland (and the UK) and English language, I have like French language too and I have always been fascinated by the old good time when France still creates artists, poets, great singe

The immense joy to be where I belong: strolling for almost two hours in my beloved Parisian park, enjoying the good company of my Friends, taking some pictures and then sitting in a quiet place, taking a coffee, writing a bit on my diary and also on my blog before starting to work (correction de copies) with plenty of good vibes. Fresh Air, Sun, Trees, Flowers, Birds and Bees are a blessing. A lovely Bee landed on my right arm and stayed there for a while. I did not move and

Cabaret tonight. I am going to take a walk in my beloved park for some relax and inspiration - Nature is my Muse - and then I will get ready and go to the Magic Place where some Unexpected Good Things come True. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 8th May 2026 Updated post with some pictures. I was very happy that some friends living far from Paris were there and also glad that the everything went well. Despite the holiday and the long weekend, the bar was packed like it was last year, whe

Yesterday I enjoyed the retrouvailles with my friends from Bordeaux: we spent a lovely sunny day near the "Luco", nickname of the Jardin du Luxembourg. After having lunch in an Italian restaurant with many vegetarian and even some vegan options and then a walk from the Luco to the Odéon, we came back to the Panthéon, had a vegan ice-cream with a biscuit spoon before going to the Irish Cultural Centre, visiting the mediathèque and Earthbound (a film installation by Clare Lang

This morning I have met this lovely robin in the quiet "secret garden" inside my favourite Parisian park. I zoomed a lot because I would not disturb him by coming closer, so this is not an extraordinary picture and I surely would not win a photography prize, but it is a nice souvenir of this unexpected meeting. More and more Good Things to come, indeed. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 27th April 2026 (C) Vera da Pozzo (C) Italy is Mine (C) Italy is Mine and It owes Me a Living...

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

If the concert had been yesterday - this year, Monday is my day off at school, as Friday - it would have been better, because it is quite stressing to run away from my lycée which is at 40 km from Paris, but I am happy to attend another concert of Brigitte calls me Baby, the rock band from Chicago that I have discovered last year, thanks to Morrissey, who chose them as opening act for his concerts in Dublin and Paris. I am also happy to see again some French friends I met at

Living in Paris, I have always dreamt of singing in a band and even forming one on my own, but I soon realized that there were and still are many obstacles to music projects, and not just the main one - i. e., how to live doing music : Musical tastes are not easy to combine, even in a huge, cosmopolitan city like Paris. There still are people who want to rock... in French, which is ( désolée , mes amis français ! ) one of the most boring languages for rock, punk and to

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.
