Italy is mine

According to her legendary hagiography (to believe in her existence is an 1ct of Faith in itself) Rosalia Sinibaldi refused richness and a marriage with a noble, kind and attractive young man and embraced instead a life of meditation and poverty, surrounded by Mother Nature and her Loving Creatures. Being the youngest daughter of an introvert Father and a very shy Mother, and having a strong feeling towards Nature and Animals, I was deeply fascinated by the story of the "Sant

George Rae, a Southern like me, but from England, attended Morrissey's concert in Berlin and - as me and two other people from Germany and Poland - spent the night before at the Zitadelle: it was nice to meet him in person because I like the videos he makes and shares on YouTube. Morrissey publicly thanked him during the concert: a nice gesture of gratitude that did not surprise me, for I know very well how Morrissey is genuinely grateful to the people who love his art. Thus,

Photos taken by me: the first one during my travel by train in the North of Italy and the second one at my arrival in my Country, when I found a quiet and fresh place away from the crowd, the noise and the heatn where I spent some time in meditation and prayer, while waiting for my InterCity.

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

After spending another lovely day in Berlin (a very rainy Monday, after a sunny Sunday) this evening I went to the Zitadelle in order to check the venue and now I am staying here for the night. Why? Because the place is quiet and charming, despite the mosquitos sticking to my fingers and trying to get to my neck (no, thanks, tiny Draculas: I do not want your kisses) and the crickets are so chatty that I wish I could join their conversation: they certainly have a lot of intere

Last weekend, I saw and heard plenty of sparrows in Lillestrøm and Oslo: a joy for the eyes, the ears, the heart and the soul. I remembered the old and happy times, when sparrows were numerous in our street and their joyous chirping filled our tiny garden and echoed into our modest home. Back to Paris, where, as in Palermo, the sparrows' population have dramatically decreased since 2005, I have had the joy to see them in various places where their survival is made possible by

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.

I have been patiently waiting for my copy since April; now my copy will patiently wait for me at the Fnac in Paris for just few days more.

Paul McCartney turns 84 today. Happy birthday to my favourite Beatle, who is also one of the living musicians, singers and songwriters I admire the most, both as an Artist and as Human Being.

A quiet early morning In my dearest Park Before the heat Starts to hit Through the drops Kissing the leaves A little Rainbow Quickly appears On the fresh wet grass The Blackbird looks at Me And his gentle, soulful gaze Says : "Hello, my Saviour!

Drawing made by me on my diary this morning. Born in Lisbon, Fernando Martins de Bulhões (15th August 1195 - 13rd June 1231) became a Franciscan friar, took the name of Anthony and settled in Padua, after having lived and preached in Coimbra, Morocco, Sicily, Tuscany, and Romagna. He was just thirty-five when he died. I hope to have the chance to visit Padua and the wonderful Basilica dedicated to him, one day. Vera da Pozzo On Saint Anthony's Day 13th June A. D. MMXXVI Below
