monthly archives: novembre 2009

in italy we have the best olive oil ever
and when I am a little down for any reason, use my personal remedy …

days ago took from my parents home an old beloved print
a photo taken by a friend in the cintra castle (castelo dos mouros) during the period we were living in lisbon

a new cafè has recently opened very close to where I live
it is quiet and pleasant, with a couple of old armchair in a corner, books on the shelves, and a good selection of equal exchange teas
took some few photos while having breakfast
this bar is part of a local circuit and also have a website with some nice music, all in coffee theme/ link

then I had a short walk to test new lens with film camera
still find some autumn colors here around – warm and intense, they detach on grey

per ricordare roberto sasso
una delle voci di stereonotte che seppero accompagnare e affascinare migliaia di noi

gli studenti di architettura dormono poco per tradizione, si sa,  e trascorrono le notti a disegnare
la radio perciò rappresenta una grandissima compagnia ed aiuta a mantenersi svegli e lucidi
anche per questo credo, ho potuto conservare un così vivido ricordo di quelle trasmissioni:
il cerchio di luce sul tavolo e la musica della radio – un tempo senza tv nè cellulari
fuori la città che dorme

grazie

battiti / 23 11 2009 – dedicato a roberto sasso

to remember roberto sasso

in italia, when a woman uses to wear lots of jewels and fancy ornaments we say:
she looks like a christmas tree
how do you express it in your language and country?

anyway – this idiomatic expression inspired my last 2009 christmas cards
(from now on I will put my head in other)
will print them in the afternoon to send in time
these two will not go to the shop – they are just for my personal use or direct sale
