a Rose for you...

«Rosa fresca aulentis[s]ima ch’apari inver’ la state,
le donne ti disiano, pulzell’ e maritate:
tràgemi d’este focora, se t’este a bolontate;
  per te non ajo abento notte e dia,5
  penzando pur di voi, madonna mia».

«Se di meve trabàgliti, follia lo ti fa fare.
Lo mar potresti arompere, a venti asemenare,
l’abere d’esto secolo tut[t]o quanto asembrare:
  avere me non pòteri a esto monno;10
  avanti li cavelli m’aritonno».


«Se li cavelli artón[n]iti, avanti foss’io morto,
ca’n is[s]i [sí] mi pèrdera lo solacc[i]o e ’l diporto.
Quando ci passo e véjoti, rosa fresca de l’orto,
  bono conforto dónimi tut[t]ore:15
  poniamo che s’ajúnga il nostro amore».
Cielo d'Alcamo
at the court of Frederick II in the XIIIth Sicily

Missing from my blog for a couple of months, 
the worst in my life...

I start again from this Rose for you....
hoping that every single petal I put on your tomb
will preserve  every memory of our time spent together...

I have a lot to learn from you
from your pleasant smile
from your sweet eyes
from your generous heart
from your love for me..

these two terrible months 
we learnt  a great lesson of  LOVE
from you

I feel lucky 
to have been your sister 
till your latest breath....

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com

Back to school!

I'm exausted! In these days students are coming back to school In a book shop I saw this lovely school agenda...( Il Diario ) TO choose the new diario was a nice thing to do with my friends. Everybody, among girls, was curios to see the others' agenda and then, through the school year fill it with drawings, puzzles of photoes, phrases, songs ...and homework (sometimes)  as well. If I were still at school, i think this would be my agenda!!!
