ANDREA BOCELLI IN PISA 29 DEC 2010
Partirà dal Teatro Verdi di Pisa il nuovo, affascinante progetto di Andrea Bocelli. Con "Notte Illuminata” il Maestro regala agli appassionati di musica classica, e non solo, una serie di concerti capaci di abbracciare oltre duecento anni di musica, quattro lingue, e sette compositori in un’esperienza unica che viaggerà per il mondo. E per l’importante debutto, il tenore ha pensato proprio alla sua terra.
“Notte Illuminata”, infatti, accenderà i riflettori il 29 dicembre al Teatro Verdi di Pisa per un concerto di beneficenza in favore dell’associazione “Viva Federico” e dell'associazione "ARPA" di cui Bocelli è Presidente onorario. La prevendita partirà martedì' 23 novembre. Il suggestivo lavoro vede il celebre tenore cimentarsi in una serie di perle del repertorio classico con il solo accompagnamento del pianoforte suonato dal pianista di fama internazionale Maestro Vincent Scalera.
Quote by Pablo Neruda
chi non legge,
chi non ascolta musica,
chi non trova grazia in se stesso.
He who does not travel,
who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
dies slowly.
Pablo Neruda
CHRISTMAS IN ITALY
CELEBRATE NEW YEAR'S EVE 2010 IN VENICE
NEW YEAR'S EVE 2010 PIAZZA SAN MARCO VENICE
On the 31st of December, Love - the new Venetian way of celebrating New Year, will return to Piazza San Marco and Piazza Ferretto in Venice, on one of the most important nights of the year.
Once again, the New Year celebrations will culminate in a vast, communal kiss between over 60,000 people sending a message of love, peace and brotherhood to the world.
The format of Piazza San Marco this year is a spectacular program of music and lights, with projections that color setting of the historic buildings surrounding the square. At midnight the Bacino di San Marco will host a fireworks display that will light up the New Year's Eve. And for all, a toast with Bellini Canella.

A WHITE CHRISTMAS
Continuing the series of travelling through Italy with my family last European winter....
For me it did not feel lIke Christmas because we were havIng a white Christmas. Funny - that after all those years of seeing ChrIstmas trees with snow on them on cards....!!! and now when I am surrounded by them .....it does not feel lIke Christmas because our Christmas in Australia is sweltering - opening presents with beer and nuts and fantastic ham with cranberry sauce...
Here in Italy they have lasagne in the Christmas meal. Now why the hell would you want to eat Lasagne for Christmas, when you have it all the time throughout the year???
Spent my birthday driving from Liguria to Grosseto and went out to a Pizzeria wIth a mixture of Australian and Italian friends – a bit of a change from the recital I have for my birthday back home where all my talented friends and family perform.
We have had such an eventful week since I last wrote that I do not know where to start. The most wondrous was openIng this huge three meter door at a hotel in Perugia UmbrIa, at 5.30 am and receivIng the biggest shock on seeing the white snow. We had not seen TV or heard the news so we did not know it was going to snow....
