I am organizing this huge event! I work for LUISAVIAROMA.COM as social networking, web marketing and affiliation marketing manager, therefore it is me who is in relationship with all this great fashion bloggers participating to the event!

25 Aprile - RESISTENZA

Ludovico Einaudi tra musica popolare e impegno etico, con Ballaké Sissoko, uno dei più grandi maestri della kora.

Bothanica by Momix

Known internationally for presenting work of exceptional inventiveness and physical beauty, MOMIX is a company of dancer-illusionists under the direction of Moses Pendleton. For over 25 years, MOMIX has been celebrated for its ability to conjure up a world of surrealistic images using props, light, shadow, humor and the human body.


At Teatro Verdi in Florence: great show, incredible costumes and choreography and gorgeous music!! The exhibition of Pendleton's flower photos is really nice too.

Still a bit cold...

Susan Tabak - INTERVIEW

CAMI TRANSFORMER: A JOURNALIST!

"I spent some time with Camilla Gennari, the company’s marketing director. We chatted about my business, memorable looks from the Prêt-à-Porter, and the power of the internet in fashion. She does all their tweeting and maintains their social media, so it was interesting to talk with her." Susan Tabak




Susan, while trying a particular and quite extravagant Gareth Pugh's dress, said: "I was wowed by all of the choices - I rarely see Gareth Pugh in stores. And there were some very chic limited edition pieces - for the woman who wants something no one else has."
She really felt in love with the colorful summer bags by Greek designer Stalo Markindes and made a few discoveries while browsing the store!

My foot...and Ferragamo!

Cirque du Soleil: artisti-acrobati, pittori del movimento e della fantasia

Saltimbanco -from the Italian "saltare in banco", which literally means "to jump on a bench"-explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likenesses, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. Between whirlwind and lull, prowess and poetry, Saltimbanco takes spectators on an allegorical and acrobatic journey into the heart of the city.
Saltimbanco is a Cirque du Soleil signature show inspired by the urban fabric of the metropolis and its colorful inhabitants. Decidedly baroque in its visual vocabulary, the show's eclectic cast of characters draws spectators into a fanciful, dreamlike world, an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope.



An astonishing, marvellous and incredible show!
You can watch the preview but I really suggest you to see the show live!
I really enjoyed them! FANTATICI!!
...and the TAIKO was on the stage (thanks to Kodo)!

Taiko, un'altra presentazione del mio libro

Taiko, il Ritmo del Giappone
Certo dopo il Circolo Della Stampa di Milano, una presentazione a Poggibonsi non fa grande effetto...ma è un'associazione di amici, ci saranno amici più che giornalisti, e l'atmosfera sarà rilassata e casalinga! Vi farò vedere anche qualche video... Vi aspetto!

Città di Mare

" ... Vedrai una città regale, addossata ad una collina alpestre, superba per uomini e per mura, il cui solo aspetto la indica signora del mare ... ”
—Francesco Petrarca, 1358, Itinerarium breve de Ianua ad Ierusalem









...e quant'è buona "a fügassa"!

Festeggiamento / Ceviche Chileno

Auguri a te...


El Ceviche de Fernando!

...la vita al contrario

Tanto per cominciare si dovrebbe iniziare morendo, e così il trauma è bello che superato. Quindi ti svegli in un letto di ospedale e apprezzi il fatto che vai migliorando giorno dopo giorno. Poi ti dimettono perché stai bene e la prima cosa che fai è andare in posta a ritirare la tua pensione e te la godi al meglio. Col passaredel tempo le tue forze aumentano, il tuo fisico migliora, le rughe scompaiono. Poi inizi a lavorare e il primo giorno ti regalano un orologio d'oro.
Lavori quarant'anni finchè non sei così giovane da sfruttare adeguatamente il ritiro dalla vita lavorativa.
Quindi vai di festino in festino, bevi, giochi, fai sesso e ti prepari per iniziare a studiare. Poi inizi la scuola, giochi con gli amici, senza alcun tipo di obblighi e responsabilità, finchè non sei bebè.
Quando sei sufficientemente piccolo, ti infili in un posto che ormai dovresti conoscere molto bene. Gli ultimi nove mesi te li passi flottando tranquillo e sereno, in un posto riscaldato con room service e tanto affetto, senza che nessuno ti rompa i coglioni. E alla fine abbandoni questo mondo in un orgasmo. (Woody Allen)

The fabulous and oneric...

The Park of the Monsters (Parco dei Mostri) is a Renaissance monumental complex located in Bomarzo, Italy. The gardens were created during the 16th century by Vicino Orsini.
The park's name stems from the many larger-than-life sculptures, some sculpted in the bedrock, which populate this predominantly barren landscape. The park of Bomarzo was intended not to please, but to astonish, and like many Mannerist works of art, its symbolism is arcane: examples are a large sculpture of one of Hannibal's war elephants, which mangles a Roman legionary, or the statue of Ceres lounging on the bare ground, with a vase of verdure perched on her head. The many monstrous statues appear to be unconnected to any rational plan and appear to have been strewn almost randomly about the area, "sol per sfogare il Core" ("just to set the heart free") as one inscription in the obelisks says.

La città che muore

...in the end of the 17th century a major earthquake accelerated the old town's decline... in the 19th century Civita di Bagnoregio was turning into an island and the pace of the erosion quickened as the layer of clay below the stone was reached in the area where today's bridge is located. Bagnoregio continues as a small but prosperous town, while Civita became known as "il paese che muore" (in Italian: "the dying town"). The town is noted for its striking position atop a plateau of friable volcanic tuff overlooking the Tiber river valley, in constant danger of destruction as its edges fall off, leaving the buildings built on the plateau to crumble.
