'cipicchia!

The first week is gone, and now is almost time to start… wait, I forgot something: why I am here, in the first place!

Well, let’s start again.

Hi everybody! Here it is you beloved Luca that is writing from Belfast, the main city of Ulster.
Since I am between two jobs (I love this, because it seems that I had a salary before and I will one after. The fact is that I did not see the former one and the latter, who knows…), I accepted the kind proposal of a professor to spend a period at the University of Ulster. So, here we are!

At last, today I’ve finished with a very stressful period of time (until the next one, of course…).
I’m in Istanbul, because of the OberSeminar 2010.
I did my presentation in the morning, and it was very good to have many question to have a feedback.

Istanbul is a beautiful city. We arrived yesterday, and we took just a little peek.
The skyline is full of spike like this:

Painting the snow

Walking towards the Coliseum (or Colosseum, or, frack me, call it as you wish), I was wondering how much snow there should be. Not too much. Therefore, no white Colosseum. Besides the jerks, that were throwing to the people snow balls (thank God there was a policeman), there was a cute blip of colours, too.
Black and white, but whit a touch of colourful rainbow.
And of course the snow at the Coliseum: could you imagine a more beautiful day?

Footprints

Friday morning (last week), a great snowfall in Rome. Great, well, a little one.
Enough to cover the grass, the holes in the soil, and the dog’s little things.
A man crossed the garden and left a trace behind.
I came, I took a picture.

Sorry for the advertising… but it really worth it!!!
