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.

Suddenly This Summer

Viola suddenly realised that she had already spent six days of her one-week holiday in Istanbul, Turkey, and had not sent us any pictures as yet. Photos: Viola & Elvis.

The Solitude of Prime Numbers

Today Viola, on behalf of the company for which she works, was engaged in a team-building workshop at Villa Corsini in the heart of Chianti, in which participants worked together to create a gourmet meal — potato ravioli. Photos courtesy of her herself.

Eternal Bloom

Letizia and Viola received as a gift the Spring in the Glass by Mado Flynn (glass bowl decorated with real flowers embedded in epoxy resin).

Sliding Doors

A school of dance and a yoga studio are almost the same, but not exactly the same, as the latter will ask you to leave your ego at the door... with your shoes.

Viola at the Window

This morning Viola rang the bell of an ancient house in the heart of Florence just to recapture a bit of the Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna”’s history.

Number One

So save the date — you’re invited!

On Second Thought

Through a Mirror

As Hart Crane says, “As silent as a mirror is believed / Realities plunge in silence by...”.

Every Wall a Door

Knock, knock, knockin’ at a yoga ashram...

😉

And finally here they are, namely in alphabetical order: Letizia, Olga and Viola shining in all their splendour amidst Devas.

Speaking of Dance

To say it with Professor Giorgio Agamben, “The camp is the space that is opened when the state of exception begins to become the rule”.

Nebuchadnezzar

Truly it is consolation to us common mortals to know that all art teachers of all origins aim at being like the orchestra on the Titanic that continued playing as the ship sank.

Ventotene

The magic of 风水 (fēng shuǐ) can make anyone feel welcomed and right at home at a yoga ashram.

The Crescent Moon

The Moon and Jiva brought light and relief for a diaspora of ballerinas who refused the imposition of a narrow-minded “New Normal” and were instead aimed at defending their roots and their future.

Street art
