Italy is mine

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.

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.

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.

I am SO HAPPY!!! It was a great concert in a fantastic venue. I will write about it tomorrow. [well, it will be this Friday evening, because I walked a lot in Rotterdam on Wednesday and Thursday] Thank you, Morrissey! I was so happy to hear the première of Amazona . I wish I could see you again in London this Saturday, but I have just my ticket for the front row and still no passport. The joy of this night in Rotterdam will console me. Your light never goes out!

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

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...

With all the things I do and I have to do, last nigth I realized that it was already the day of release of the 50th anniversary edition of Rough Trade's "intimate history" by Neil Taylor, with a foreword by Morrissey written in Sicily in 2025. I am so pleased that Morrissey has found my beloved and missed Sicily an inspiring place for writing his foreword, and I am not surprised that he does not mention Catania: he did the same in his post about the 2025 European Tour, where

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

Thank you, Morrissey, for putting a bit of sun through the rain at night, in the City of Stone and Steel. A new single from the album Make-up is a Lie is coming in ten days: Amazona , cover of the 1973 song by Roxy Music. The whole post is on Morrissey Central (see the first link above) and a snippet of the cover by Morrissey is on YouTube (see the second link above) et it would have been cool if the photo by Ryan Lowry illustrating Morrissey's post was also used on YouTub

Bluebird of Happiness. I'll soon return to Paris because I am not on holidays yet, but how I would love to be in Frankfurt tomorrow... It was such a joy to see Morrissey arriving at the Sporthalle greeting, bowing and smiling at us, and pleased to see a Perfect Blue bird of Happiness on his left eyebrow. It was quite strange and a bit funny to see Morrissey from above, like he sees us from the stage; I would have loved to see him nearer, but we were twenty people or more an

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

Thank you, Morrissey, for confirming I was right, because I knew, I knew, I knew that you were and are still here in Paris. Picture taken by me... if only! I am joking, of course, but I know It's gonna happen Someday . Article by me, post from Morrissey Central with a picture of Morrissey taken today by an Unknown Creature near Notre-Dame of Paris . After Make-up is a Lie , released last month, the new single Notre-Dame is released today. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 6th February 2

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
