November is here...

Dear all,

it's a longtime I don't update the blog. I think it's time to do it then...
November is here, in St. Louis the leaves are still on the trees, they are turning their colors to yellow, red, orange. It's quite a nice spectacle. The temperature are starting to fall down too, less than 2 weeks ago it was around 20-25 C, now they are surely lower... well, normal, since we are in the middle of Autumn...
Ok, so, here are some recent pictures, I hope you like them.

See you soon, I hope I can update this blog more often.

A summer between Italy and England

After my sister wedding (see previous post), me and Katie decided to tavel for a week around Italy. We spent one day in Venice and the day after we went to Tuscany, in Versilia (the north of Tuscany), where we spent the rest of the week between sea, cities and landscapes...
After coming back to Como and spending some time with my parents, we went back to England.
Some pictures are shown in the following part.
Well, what to say? No words can describe this Summer, if not the fact that was surely the best Summer of my life...

Champions League Final – AC Milan vs. Liverpool FC (by Stefano)

On 23rd May, at the Athens Stadium, took place the Champions League Final between AC Milan and Liverpool FC.
The season for the AC Milan started very badly this year, with a penalization and no chance to get any score...
In the meantime, Inter FC, the opposite soccer team of Milan, won the national championship and Milan supporters were very upset.
But AC Milan was admitted to the Champions League and slowly, match after match, it got the Final versus Liverpool FC.
For 45 minutes, no significant actions took place, but suddenly Inzaghi scored with a lucky move. In the second half of the match, AC Milan dominated. Inzaghi scored again (82 min.) thanks to a wonderful pass made by Kaka' (top scorer of the entire tournament); Liverpool scored at the end with Kuyt (89 min). The last minutes ran very slowly; this year it had already occurred that Milan lost a match in the last minute... but not this time!!!
This is the seventh Champion Cup in the club history!!!

James Morrison in concert

April 3rd, at Blueberry Hill. More or less 500 persons to watch the concert of James Morrison...Now, in America he's known, but not as much as in Europe and in UK specially. So, it was a unique opportunity to watch his concert with so few people and also talk a bit with him, while signing the CDs.
For those of you who don't know him, he's a young British singer, and he published last year his first album, "Undiscovered". An amazing talent as musicist and a really warm voice makes him one of my favourite singers and, in my opinion, one of the most promising singers in the next years. I strongly suggest you to check his music...
