la BELLA vita selfhelp 03 - Passione and Napoli

Third post of la BELLA vita selfhelp 
is about PASSION. 

If there's something that Italians can teach you 
is Passion, with capitol letter. 
I wanna start talking about it 
as a selfhelp. 

Everyone knows that Napoli is such a dirty 
poor city, 
in his way desperate. 
No law, at all. 
So my Australians could ask me... 
How can they stand it? 
You should check out 
Commissioned by Cinecittà and Istitutto Luce 
it's , 
as Dan Fainaru says in http://www.screendaily.com review 
"a letter of love to a city and its music signed 
by an admirer with a selective eye" 
He also says about Torturro's point of view: 
"unlike the Venice gondoliers, 
his preference goes for less sugar and some cutting edge". 

Back to the question How can they stand it? 
These people are so alive because the've got the passion
which becomes a sort of escape, a sort of pray as well, 
which is music, 
which is women, 
which is the best pizza ever, 
and smells, 
and mess. 
John Torturro says something about it. 
Still, 
despite everything, people are... they're still singing. 
Because 
seriously 
HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT PASSION? 
???

My favourite photographer ever is Luigi Burroni

My favourite photographer 
ever 
is Luigi Burroni. 
Even if usually he's not interested in fashion 

I'm glad 
I had the chance to work with him for Capitocome
I use to say 
exactly WHAT TO DO 
to him, and then leave him for a couple of shoots, 
...and guess what. 
These couple of shoots 
were always masterpieces. 
I wish I could be 
in my little town in Tuscany 
having the chance to check his exhibition. 
For all of you 
that are on that side of the world, 
there's no excuse. 
You'd better to go:

la BELLA vita selfhelp 02 - Figs,gorgonzola,prosciutto

Last night we had our Random Club, 
(by the way, Jillian, we missed you!) 
which is a club we have with some friends 
enjoying good food and good wine. 
To be in, of course you have to be 
a good person. 
Second post of la BELLA vita selfhelp 

is about 
MARRIAGE. 
Ingredients of the marriage: 
-fresh figs 

-Gorgonzola cheese, or Danish Blue cheese, which works the same, but it's cheaper  

They're very different, 
but very nice together, 
and they celebrate in a 
-rose of prosciutto. 

Put them in the oven 
"QUANTO BASTA" 
JUST ENOUGH 
to see the cheese melting. 

Yep. 
Kinda believe in marriage.

la BELLA vita selfhelp 01 - homemade pasta quote

just talked with my 
lovely friend Olga 
who has at the moment a lot of problems with her Australian Visa 
-yes, sweetie, I know exactly what you mean- 
In this kind of situation 
what to suggest to a friend, 
who's working so hard for something 
so uncertain??? 
Well, I've decided to start now 
My Self Help: 
la BELLA vita selfhelp

Because it's a fact that Italians are a bit dramatic 
but 
on the other hand 
they know how to get 
LA BELLA VITA - THE GOOD LIFE. 
First quote of La BELLA vita selfhelp 
is for Olga, 

Do your best 

and then let the pasta rest. 

(my father 
who I miss very much 
making the pasta for pizza) 
How cool is he.

BELLA Jillian on Cockatoo Island

Jillian Nalty is a Bella
because, 
as she says in her 
she believes that 
it is 
confidence that makes a woman truly 
BEAUTIFUL 
- BELLA -
and one of the keys to confidence is finding 
your own sense of style rather than 
trying to look like everyone else.
 Here, Jillian with her fabulous family 
for her 30th compleanno-birthday 
on Cockatoo Island
