about friendship

A friend in need is a friend indeed Gli amici si conoscono nelle avversità
today I woke up with this song in my mind She is one of my favourite singers at the moment...

Guiding & Involvement

Pseudo riflessioni   di una guida sentimentale….    Un modo di fare turismo dove al centro viene messa la persona ,l’individuo, con le sue curiosità,interessi, bisogno di relazionarsi e di conoscere Ho sempre creduto che fare del buon turismo, della buona accoglienza fosse questo Credo di averlo sempre fatto  per doti innate o  per una certa sensibilità.. Forse perché mi piace immedesimarmi nell’altro, capirne   il punto di vista per poi trovare il giusto modo per  interagire…   Una brava guida turistica sa   raccontare ma sa anche come   raccontarsi e  può farlo in poco tempo. Ci   sono modi e stili diversi,personali, per narrare i propri luoghi ,per svelarne l’anima con tutte le sue sfumature e a volte ,anche se nell’arco di un giorno o poco più è possibile creare un “involvement”   , una sintonia ,un’intesa tra chi ci ascolta e noi in nome di   quel...

extra- actors in the set of Montalbano !

Through the whole summer, here in Italy every Monday evening we  could have still enjoyed the old Inspector Montalbano's episodes ( the best to me). Just last week  RAI  1 broadcast  ROUNDING THE MARK which was partly set in my Siracusa. I recognized  the location of  Piazza Duomo and the Vermexio Palace in Ortigia. It reminded me a funny episode that occured that day ! It was 2005, an early lovely spring morning in Ortigia at about 8.30  I had just started the walking tour in Ortigia,coming from the harbour with a group of British people  arrived in Siracusa by a cruise. it is not very common to start a tour in Siracusa from the old city that is usually where mostly people go after visiting the archaeological sights or museums. I was slowly walking coming from via Landolina ,so that the picture above shows you exactly my point f view approaching the square!  I noticed that the floor was wet  although it hadn't rained at all,...

Young Montalbano on SUNDAY TIMES !

1st September 2013 I'm really very happy about the popularity of the Inspector Mintalbano  these days abroad. BBC4 is broadcasting now the prequel the Young Montalbano and I hope it will be a great success as well as the Montalbano performed by Luca Zingaretti! I enjoyed Michele Riondino ( the young Inspector) and the use of  stronger sicilian accent and  of local expressions! What about the British Tv viewers?will they like him? Many thanks to the writer Mia Ogden Aimaro I had the honor and pleasure to guide already two years ago around Syracuse and this summer during very hot days into Montalbano places At the bottom of the page, in the right corner you find my name recommended for the tours  :-) Many thanks to:  Luca Gurrieri by Dimora di Spartivent o in Modica   to Enrico Russino by Gli Aromi in Scicli to Rita Russotto by the restaurant Satra in Scicli  They all have  helped me to make the journey of Mia the bes...
