Maybe One Day

It is the last day of October, but a summer’s sun shines the autumn through. Walked past many things: some have changed and some have not changed at all. And some have gone or are closed for renovation, like “Spazio Uno”, a media cultural centre which, in the late 1980s, hosted a fleeting but lively chess club that the management, however, did not deem it profitable enough. Who knows, maybe one day they will regret having evicted it just to sell happy hours to yuppies in no career.

Floor Barre

As John Lennon famously said, “Genius is pain”.

Performance Theory

Like a dancer waiting for Newton’s apple to fall on her head.

Swan Lake Approximately

辣 (Spicy)

Here (downtown Florence) in Via Sant’Antonino, Chinese chefs and cooks deserve much credit for being early pioneers of the spicy 四川菜 (Sìchuān cuisine).
