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

Zurich See, yesterday. As I had not the time to visit the lake last March, when I saw Morrissey in Dübendorf, I stopped in Zurich during my travel from Berlin to Italy. How beautiful, peaceful and joyful! I spent more than six hours there, cruising and enjoying the Beauty of this wonderful place. Vera da Pozzo, 11th July 2026, on a train heading to Somewhere in the North of Italy. In just a a week I will see another lake I have never seen before: the Lake of Como. Article abo

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

A Pure Soul can be hurt, But never soiled: Her Wings stay strong Among Turmoil - Nevertheless, They need to rest In a Safe Place For a little while Vera da Pozzo Paris, 19th June 2026 Poem above, whole article and photo below by me, of course. Lavender is, indeed, a quiet and safe place for this Cabbage White (Pieris brassicæ) to rest and have some good nectar: to fly with an injured wing must be terribly exhausting - and I need to rest myself too, if I want to fly again, as

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! I'm always glad to see You And I'll remember forever You were my Lucky Escape From the Ravens' Attack. I know Evil People harm You But They will never soil You Because You are Brave and Stronger than the Vile Mob. Enjoy the Good You

Most people crave for company Because they cannot stand alone But when they are in trouble There will be nobody around The flock surrenders to fear And starts to follow the herd Only the Brave stands alone Heart and Brain bold and strong Vera da Pozzo Paris, 8th June 2026 Poem above and photos below by me.

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

A very rainy day, especially in the afternoon, but this morning I had the chance to enjoy a one-hour promenade in my beloved and deserted Parisian park. How I was glad to enjoy to be there in complete solitude - but not alone, because there are hundreds and hundreds of friends in leaves, petals or feathers who are happy to meet me again. While I was peacefully walking, suddenly a verse, then another, came to my mind and I wrote a short poem on a tissue, with the help of my de

I can't help noticing Beauty everywhere, wherever I am, even in front of cemetery gates - i. e., school gates. Photos below taken by me somewhere far from Paris.

Detail of a drawing I made on my diary today, after the unexpected meeting with a beautiful Jay near my favourite tree in my beloved Parisian park. Below, my drawing in its whole. As usual, I drew directly with a Bic pen without doing a preparatory sketch. As the jays wear a very beautifully coloured suit, I used my coulour glitter pens to add a touch of colour to this fantastic bird. I love every kind of animals and I am deeply fascinated by all types of birds and other flyi

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...
