International Women's Day 2013


March 8th -- Without fantasy, the only one really free to fly over, men are alone and they move fearful into the darkness of stupidity buying flowers one day per year.

8 Marzo -- Senza la fantasia che, libera, è la sola a saper volare, gli uomini continuano a strisciare pavidi nelle tenebre della stupidità continuando a comprar mimose un giorno all'anno.

Theme Day: Cafe Chairs


The Torino photo that concerns this City Daily Photo Theme day is: Cafe Chairs --- These are the chairs of the Cafe Mulassano. I talked many time of Mulassano that it's a little jewel built in Art Nouveau style and opened in 1907. Three table inside and four table outside and that's all. Absolutely to taste their aperitif ! --- Please, give a look on Cafe Chairs all arount the world :-)

The Kiss !!!

 
Torino, photo of a kiss ! Well I know that Valentine's Day was yesterday and I know that the Robert Doisneau Kiss (here) it's a bit more, how to say… Old fashion, passionate and Parisienne, however this is a Fab kiss (feel free to read "fabulous" instead of Fabrizio). Grin :-)

Torino foto di un bacio ! D'accordo lo so che San Valentino era ieri e che il bacio immortalato da Robert Doisneau (qui) è più, come dire… Vecchio stile, appassionato e Parisienne, comunque sia questo è un bacio di Fabrizio (in inglese l'abbreviazione Fab si intende per "favoloso" da qui il gioco di parole con l'abbreviazione del mio nome). Grin :-)
