#BIT2013: things I felt in love with

It's been a while since I wrote here on my blog... 
I've sent a 2013 E-Card to most of you, but for those that didn't get it, 
you can find it here. 

As you can see, I finished the year in a not so conventional way. 
In fact, the general attitude right now is to be content with what you have, and to try to survive this big financial crisis. 
I don't believe so, and even if I understand and see the clouds over Europe, 
I like when I hear the louder, optimistic voices over the general complaints. 
This happened for me in #BIT2013 (International Tourism Exchange). 

Best things of this year’s BIT: 
3rd Place - Puglia: from communication to "experiencing the homemade pasta", from Carlo of Puglia Events to the hotspot for charging your phones... Puglia had the best vibes! 

2nd Place - People I had crushes on: online relationships and communities HAVE TO BE SUPPORTED offline. That's the crush that you can have, and the strong connections you can create. Personally, I had a crush on a few travel bloggers: 
Infoturismiamoci
Nonsoloturisti
Viaggiaredasoli 
Viaggiovero
Flaneriefeminine 

1st Place - my favourite moment wasn't within the Facebook/Google speeches, but the Benigni video at the beginning of "Travel Storytelling Opportunities". 
So, as this is very Bella-style, here’s that video with subtitles. 

Thank you Alessio Carciofi for sharing it with us. For Italian readers, the video showed was this:

Bella Toscana, the B side of a postcard

Cosa farà Bella adesso? 

Finalmente rispondo alla domanda di amici/fans intorno a me, dopo aver lavorato gli ultimi mesi 7 giorni su 7 a Milano, cosa farò per queste vacanze? 

Farò parte del progetto di Samuel Webster "Bella Toscana", un blog- viaggio fotografico in e intorno la Toscana, con lo scopo di mostrarvi com'è veramente la vita qua, come un LATO B DI UNA CARTOLINA, toccando tutti gli aspetti: la Bella Vita, la gente, il cibo, il vino, la moda, handmade, la musica, l'arte ecc. 

Vi porteremo in giro con noi, aggiornando le pagine 

Fb Samuel Webster o Bella 

Twitter Samuel Webster o Bella #bellatoscana 

e il mio blog Capitocome. 

Questa è la pagina ufficiale Bella Toscana,  

e questo è il suo sito, 

dove potete vedere il suo favoloso lavoro/portfolio. 

Un grazie speciale a tutte le persone che hanno già creduto in questo progetto, e allo sponsor Walks of Italy, che offre meravigliosi tour in tutto il Paese. 

What is Bella going to do next? 

I'm finally answering the question of friends/fans around me, as I've been working last few months 24/7 in Milano, what am I going to do for holidays? 

Well, I'm going to join Samuel Webster's project "Bella Toscana", 

which is a photographic and blogging trip in and around Tuscany, 

with the aim of showing you which is the real life here, 

the sort of B SIDE OF A POSTCARD, 

touching all the aspects: 

la Bella Vita, people, food, wine, fashion, handmade, music, art etc.

Diane Pernet 's next step from ASVOFF to SHADOWS OF AN ICON exhibition

Celebrating “destiny” as its theme, the short film contest for ASVOFF Milan 2012 was launched as an ‘open call’ several months ago by Diane Pernet on her blog ASVOF www.asvof.com. Films selected for competition are limited to one minute in length and explore a diverse range of perspectives on destiny.  Explaining how the theme came about, Diane says:

“Destiny is interesting here because, like fashion, it can be fuelled by both the exceptionally trivial and the hugely profound.  At the same time, it’s also a very personal concept and one that’s pretty puzzling for most people – yet strangely revealing too.  So all this mirrors fashion in a way.  And if you think of life as one big film, then destiny is that slippery moment just after the projection of the final frame.  The cinema goes black and the audience holds its breath as the credits begin to roll.  No one really knows what destiny looks like because it only appears after we’ve expired.  But that doesn’t necessarily mean we shouldn't ponder it. Or try to shape it.” 

Well, I personally thought it was amazing, 

just as destiny is. 
Let's not try to shape it! 


Next step: going to the 

DIANE PERNET, SHADOWS OF AN ICON exhibition 
IMMAGINI PRIVATE DI UN’ICONA DELLA MODA 

curated by Cristiano Seganfreddo
