Dancing in the sun

This photo was taken a few days ago in the square of San Zeno. The couple on the left was reharsing a dance. The guy was suggesting her the steps and she sounded annoyed because she couldn't remember the right sequence... It was sweet...

Please note that the facade of the Cathedral is covered with a cloth on which are printed the features of the church. The cloth hides the scaffoldings on which the restorers work.

The moment was so quiet and enjoyable... We took our midmorning coffee at the café on the corner.

Arena on air

This morning  Piazza Bra was "on air" on Rai2, the second channel of the italian public TV.

The topic was about the veronese carnival: 479 years of history. The morning show "outdoor" presenter (in the orange jacket) invited some representative masks and the president of the carnival committee. In this photo she was interviewing the two helpers of the "Papà del gnoco", (father of the dumpling, standing behind with the big white beard) the main carachter of the carnival. The other masks were: the Duca della Pignatta, the King of Gold, the King and Queen.

I am always surprised to see how many people work for the production of even the smallest scene of a commercial or an airing like this...

Lingering on the Lake

I can be bothering with the Lake of Garda, but I can't help it... It was so clear and bright... 

Before the weather changes, I want to share with you this spectacular light and quiet I enjoyed a couple of days ago...

Sunny sunday

Late morning in Piazza Erbe. The sun appeared and warmed the air. It was nice to have a coffee at this café wearing sunglasses!

Street musicians in the sun

Lovely sunny morning. Piazza Erbe was packed with people browsing among the fruit and souvenirs stalls or sitting at the Cafes. We were having coffee when these two guys appeared on the scene, just in front of us. They played a pleasant tune and they looked happy and giggling. After the little "show" they came among the tables to collect a few coins. I like to hear music in the street, it makes such a lovely atmosphere... and lift the spirits!

Waiting for Christmas

Christmas lights have been hanging everywhere for weeks now, but they haven't been lit, yet.
I walked down Corso S. Anastàsia today and a beautiful sun warmed up the brown facade of the biggest church in town: Chiesa di Santa Anastàsia.
The sun was low, on my back, and people cast long shadows on the pavement...
