Italy is mine

Photo taken by me near Hell's Gates, far from Paris. I am the only human being who has noticed how the tree behind the gates and the magnolia outside want so bad to reach for each other.

It's already Tomorrow in Paris And there is Something I have to tell You... Sing and Shine And be Fine Tomorrow Night To YOU Vera da Pozzo Paris, 22nd September 2026 Short poem by me. I was so tired by my very long day that I fell asleep just in the middle of my writing, and I finished it two hours later, when I woke up because l was thirsty. Photo below taken this morning (the only day when I do not have to wake up too early and rush to my four-letter word place) during a ve

Yesterday I came early to the bar and I left very late because we made a toast (I just took an apple juice; I drink alcool on rare occasions) for Y. who leaves the bar for new, exciting adventures and who also wished to celebrate his birthday with us. Y. is a talented artist and a nice person; it is a pity that he hates Morrissey "because of his views", but bad, biased press, combined with social media shitspreading, is a plague. As I arrived early, I could sing thrice. My fi

Looking for news about Morrissey's concert at Riot Fest yesterday, I have found a very embarrassing article (a non-compte-rendu) written by someone who knows very little about Morrissey and his music and repeats ad nauseam the usual Moz-bashing topoi, as if the hostile message written on the fence of the Riot Fest was a "proof" that Morrissey should be banned, and implying that, if he is still invited at festivals and allowed to go on stage, it is "just" because he still has

Morrissey's tour in the United States starts tonight at Riot Festival, Chicago, IL. Sing and shine and be happy, Silver Boy! Enjoy the US tour with your band, your crew and your fans.

Last night I wrote a letter to a Good Friend. It has been seven weeks since I have started writing my letter: many pages and lots of fragments written on the paper in Italy, while recovering from that horrible flu, and other bits written on my smartphone's notes, during my daily journeys from Paris to Alcatraz and back (I cannot handwrite properly on the train) and I had to interrupt it so many times that I feared I would have never been able to finish and to send my letter

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

Jewish German-American psychedelic pop artist and animal rights activist Peter Max Finkelstein (Berlin, 19 October 1937 - New York City, 14 September 2026) in 2002 helped Cincinnati Freedom, the brave cow escaping from slaughterhouse, to be rescued and homed in a safe place, the Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY. Sadly, Peter Max spent his final years in the haze of Alzheimer's disease. May he rest in peace, as his wife Mary Balkin (20 October 1966 - 9 June 2019) who spent h

Two great singing voices and tortured souls died in 1977: Elvis Presley on 16th August and Maria Callas on 16th September. I was not yet born at that time, thus, to me, Elvis and la Callas have always been shining in the Dead Stars Constellation, whilst their voice and their art are eternal. Last Sunday I drew a double tribute to Maria Callas and Elvis Presley on my diary: I started from Maria's portrait, then I drew the portrait of Elvis and, since they both are in black, I

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
