Behind the Chianti Postcard

I remember when I was in Sydney, 

and everybody was asking me 

"are you really from Tuscany?" 

It was a funny question, 'cause I couldn't see "the postcard". 

After 2 years far away, I could see "the postcard", 

and now I've been taking Samuel Webster 

behind "the postcard" 

with the Bella Toscana project,

and yes, I'm really from Tuscany. 

Here are some photos of the Chianti area. 

All the photos are by Samuel Webster,

Berlusconi is out - I'm in

A promise is a promise. 

Berlusconi is out. 

So that, 

I'm coming back. 

T O M O R R O W. 

What's the plan? 

The plan is to stay a couple of months in Tuscany with my granma Rena 

writing about these 2 years in Australia. 

The end of the book is going to look like this: 

Una promessa è una promessa. 

Berlusconi è fuori. 

Perciò, 

ritorno. 

D O M A N I. 

Il piano? 

Il piano è stare 1 paio di mesi in Toscana dalla nonna Rena 

scrivendo di questi 2 anni in Australia. 

La fine del libro sarà questa. 

-questo post è dedicato al mio primo amico in Australia, Giovanni Rabito, è stato incredibilmente bello fare le valigie ascoltando un paese che è tornato a sperare. Giovanni opinionista e uomo di sinistra è la migliore colonna sonora che potessi avere. 

-this post is dedicated to my first friend in Australia, Giovanni Rabito, it was incredibly beautiful packing, listening a Country which is back to hope. Giovanni as news analyst and lefty man is the best soundtrack I could ever have.

Bay Run in Sydney and Florence + The Machines

One of the things that is going to be in my heart forever 

is the freedom that I've experienced here in Sydney. 

I became obsessed by the bay run, 

'cause 

there's such space 

and bright light in Australia 

and men don't whistle at you, 

even if you're hot, 

nobody gives a shit what you're wearing, 

You're free. 

You feel this freedom. 

Tiffany made for me a RUNNING PLAYLIST 

which is called 

RUN BELLA RUN. 

This is my favourite song of my playlist, 

This is the way that Bella runs. 

FAST. 

Check lyrics here, they're amazingly appropriate.

Marrickville Organic Food Market

Get into a bohemian - healthy 

(I knoooow, a bit unusual mix, isn't it?) 

Sunday morning, 

@ Marrickville Organic Food Market 

(8:30 am - 3 pm) Addison Road Community Centre, 142 Addison Road, Marrickville. 

Talking with the curator Jim Grimes, 

we agreed that part of the rapid success 

of this market is actually to be 

"the way it is" of a market, 

with real farmers selling GOOD products, 

and NO, people don't yell as they do in Napoli or Roma, but... 

YES, they certainly have the same passion. 

Here some Organic Pics:
