1971 Uxmal:The well of the virgins
When Mexico wasn’t called with this name and the new world was living of its culture ignoring ours and, for its fortune, it hadn’t been discovered yet by navigators in search of spoils…in that golden period maybe it could still hope to avoid all the barbarism thanks to fact of being separated by an ocean […]

At the Tortuga 1968
Before the Liceo Giulio Cesare in Roma , behind the Coppedè quarter, where at the end of the Sixties was opened the Piper, the legendary night club, it was set the meeting point of the youngs that, teenagers as they were, believed and firmly thought to change the world.

Toasting!!
Today I toast for the second …fourth…maybe seventh time to the reconquered life!!! How many times I have risked to loose it, to be not able to carry out the path I fixed in advance when I was borne….When we are born we do it without memory or better at the moment of our birth […]
Nothing is deeper than what appears on the surface
An image makes people turn on the street…it could be a whistle…a remark to make clear the fact of being struck by somebody who has awaken our senses. Sometimes even exchanging a glance in the street make us feel suddenly bare…at the mercy of that unknown individual, whose look’s allure we have fleetingly met…as if […]
1969 Moon
Another cult movie is certainly “The Truman Show”: a very skilled Jim Carey is the unintentional protagonist of a show in fashion among the mass media…everything surrounding him is not real but constructed, a set of life where only the protagonist doesn’t know to be shot…to be part of a tv show. When he realizes […]
The Tables
Who’d have ever told? What a lot of dinners what a lot of lunches with friends of any time I’d have never thought…As a child, I lived, after my parent’s separation, with my mother… she and I alone in a sunny top floor in Rome in viale Carnaro and for years I haven’t been having […]
1972 Chinatown
2001 A Space Odyssey…the cult film shot at the end of the sixties: ever since 1968 Stanley Kubrick made knowledge came down the earth in a menhir of black stone that appeared in the desert, before man laid down his feet on the moon getting down off the shuttle “Apollo 11” on 20th july 1969; […]
1975 Dublin
The origins of my father Ingo’s family are english ( his grannie Agnes Routh was daughter of an Anglican parson) and irish progeny ( his great-grandfather George I’s mother, Maria Fitzgerald) …modesty …. maybe that’s why we are big-boned persons, blue eyed, fair haired and above all our education is of clear anglican mould: there […]
