    “Partivo a tutta e finivo a tutta” – SANDRO MUNARI

    Passavo i pomeriggi a fare correre la mia Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF rossa con il cofano nero, avanti e indietro sul muretto fuori in giardino.
    I miei pomeriggi preferiti erano il rally di Sanremo, il Mille Laghi e l’Acropoli.
    Ma d’inverno i pomeriggi corti, subito bui ed innevati erano tutti il Montecarlo!

    Adesso che vivo a Nizza la salita al Col de Turini è la mia preferita.
    Ci salgo da Sospel e scendo a Lantosque oppure viceversa.
    E fin da subito ho avuto la piacevole sensazione di conoscere la salita a memoria, metro per metro, curva per curva, tornante per tornante, anche se d’inverno e al buio il panorama deve essere stato sicuramente differente.

    Chissà come sarà la prima volta che ci salirò questa estate, chissà se, chiudendo gli occhi, sentirò e soprattutto vedrò, guardando in giù, la mia Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF rossa con il cofano nero salire a tutta, sempre di traverso!

    Paris Centre Pompidou

    Today is the last day to visit the Centre Pompidou before it closes for five years for renovations. Designed in the 1970s by two young, unknown architects — the Italian Renzo Piano and the British Richard Rogers — it officially opened on 31 January 1977.

    And it was a shock! “Paris has its own monster, just like the one in Loch Ness,” said the French magazine Le Figaro. “Notre Dame des Tuyaux,” “Centre Mochebourg,” and “oil refinery” were some of the nicknames, but in the end it became a popular success, with more than 200 million visitors since 1977.

    And it was a shock for me too, the first time I visited Paris.
It was night, the piazza was deserted, and I saw what looked like an alien spaceship that had landed in the heart of the city. Was I living in a sci-fi movie?

    Today I still love this radical and futuristic architecture.
    I love the lightness, the transparency, the sense of seeing through it — I find it so elegant and so sexy!

    Inside, I love the bright, open, expansive spaces, the feeling of being inside the building but, at the same time, still within the city. And I love spending hours in the bookstore looking for a new book.

    Outside, I love all those tubes and pipes. I love the bold colours used as symbols: blue for air conditioning, yellow for electricity, green for water, and red for pedestrian circulation.
    I love the periscope-like giant air vents of an imaginary transatlantic space liner. I love the red zigzag, and I love the unique view of Paris from the 5th floor.

    I am sure that the next time I am in Paris, I will miss you!

  • das attentat

    1972 Olympische Sommerspiele in München. Das Attentat.

    Olympic games are not always a festival of happiness and sport.

    In 1972 during the Olympische Sommerspiele in Munich, eight arabs criminals, members of the palestinian terrorist group Black September took eleven hostages, all members of the Israeli Olympic Team and killed them. One hostage was castrated and abused after he was shot!

    This is islam, these are arabs!

    In all these years and thanks to the Operation Wrath of God, the Mossad, the national intelligence agency of the State of Israel killed more then 200 palestinian terrorists members of the palestinian armed militant group Black September and operatives of the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

    Of the eight arab criminals involved in the Munich massacre, only one is still escaping. For how long?

    Paris, Texas by Wim Wenders

    One of my favourite movie? Paris, Texas!


    For the heartbreaking images of the Texas desert, for the heartbreaking neon signs of the motels, for the heartbreaking music composed by RY COODER, for the outstanding performances by HARRY DEAN STANTON and NASTASSJA KINSKI, and for the wonderful performance from DEAN STOCKWELL.

    Exactly 40 years ago the film directed by WIM WENDERS and written by SAM SHEPARD was presented at the 37th Cannes Film Festival and won the Palme d’Or.

    Now, 40 years later a 4K restored version of the film, supported by Chanel, has been premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Palme d’Or.

    “Is four years a long time?”
