Waiting for a Kiss

I really like shop windows, you can always find something nice to catch there, at least with a camera. Mimicking polo shirts...A princely toad waiting for a kiss...
A famous couple, daydreaming in black and white...

At the “Terrazza”

We missed the sea so much that the first weekend of good weather here we are at the “Terrazza Mascagni”.Looking east, a small sailboat framed between the Meloria islets.Looking north, again from the “Terrazza Mascagni”, the new 62m superyacht “Adora” still inside the Benetti Shipyard.

Welcome Home

After a three month summer training cruise in the North Sea, the Amerigo Vespucci is back to Livorno, before spending the winter in the Navy Yard of La Spezia.I never miss an occasion to put my landlubber's feet on her deck...... or to climb her magnificent wooden staircases.The ship on a canvas wrapping all the rigging around the mast.A view of the stern, and you haven't seen the last photo of her yet!

Academy Award

“La prima cosa bella” (The First Beautiful Thing), by the Livornese Paolo Virzì and almost completely filmed in Livorno, is the Italian candidate for the next foreign language Oscar.

On the other hand, our Pisan cousins have already won a world wide laugh for this rickety and off-key video supporting the Nobel Peace Prize for the Internet.

(Thanks to my friend Stefano for showing me this pearl)

P.S. - If you like the Pisan video I can do nothing for you, but if you think that awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to a thing is a good idea, please try to read this New Yorker piece about social media: “Why the revolution will not be tweeted” by Malcolm Gladwell.
