The birthdays

Viola was the birthday girl, but there were gifts by Mado Flynn for Emma and Matilde, too.

Say Cheesecake and Smile

A birthday party at Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna” is always a happy occasion, and Matilde proved herself to be an impeccable maître pâtissier.

An Evening in July

Giacomo and Leone play chess over the board — they only played online once so far — in the backstage of a birthday-party-at-home situation.

Guess who’s come to dinner?

Aurora, Emma, Giacomo, Letizia, and Viola enjoy pizzas and gourmet desserts at the end-of-year dinner of the Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna”. Our young ladies were finally presented with a handmade gift by Mado Flynn.

Time Machines

Two old-timers of our happy school days, Aurora and Giacomo, meet for a friendly game of chess at the end-of-year dinner of the Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna”.

Catwoman Goes to the Opera

It was Sunday evening, and Aurora made her way up to the backstage of the Opera, posing for a Mado Flynn ad campaign for the A.M.A. (Friends of Animal World) Cat Pound.

Cheesecakes and Tartlets

A close encounter of the third kind, between chess, on the one hand, and dance, on the other hand. Aurora, Emma, Letizia, Niccolò, and Riccardo, exchanged gifts and sweets in the dining room of the Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna” yesterday evening.

Magnets and Springs

The desire to unwrap a gift is most fulfilled when others share their gifts.

Happy Non-Birthday!

At the non-birthday party of Viola, a fantasy of pizzas was set out in the dining room of the Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna” yesterday evening, with Letizia’s dietetic cold cheesecake to crown the setting. As by now usual, the party was graced by the special presence of Aurora and Matilde, who enjoyed the gifts Mado Flynn offered them without any guess of what was in it. More photos will follow hopefully soon!

Once Upon a Birthday

At the birthday party of Letizia, a table of pizzas was set out in the dining room of the Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna” yesterday evening, with Viola’s sumptuous cheesecake to crown the setting. The party was even graced by the presence of the worldwide renowned “sisters-in-law”, Aurora and Matilde, who did not fail to recall their glorious past as dancers and archers. Alas, my camera broke at that very moment!

African Sky

Here is the first batch of photos from the Rocchini family trip to Kenya. More to come soon! Below, from top to bottom, are pictured some of the highlights: Maestro Geppetto, Kilimanjaro, children of Maasai Village, elephants of Amboseli (it means dust), zebras. Caption & photos: Viola Rocchini.
