I value your perspective and am interested to learn, if I'm correctly interpreting what you have said, that it is dated and stereotypical.

Especially because written by the co owner of City Lights bookstore that edited Kerouac and Gnsberg (as I read on Wikipedia). Of course, of course some old italians are exactly painted by him but now in *2008* I bet you cannot find anyone who loved Sacco and Vanzetti or Garibaldi. --- They were talking about recession, increasing prices, what this poltician or that does or doesn't do. Juventus and Torino football match and so on... I heard a bunch of other men (I'll publish their photo in future) in same park and those topic were matter of discussion. So, in my opinon, the Farlinghetti poem is an excellent piece of work but mostly a good excercise than a vibrant poem.<BR/><BR/>Rob and Virginia, that's right but I am more impressed by their hands<BR/><BR/>Jilly, I can say more. I took this photo at Valentino and we -together- passed exactly there :-)<BR/><BR/>Thank you to everyone !Fabrizio Zanellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420924672631265862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776198253215266144.post-60945871146783197122008-10-16T02:48:00.000+02:002008-10-16T02:48:00.000+02:00A perfect portrait, so wisely portrayed in mono.

The soft light is so nice and the men seem so natural and unconcerned that they are being photographed. I like your text today as well. Very very nice. <BR/>VVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776198253215266144.post-76497959329007816862008-10-15T14:26:00.000+02:002008-10-15T14:26:00.000+02:00Great shot!

There are no background distractions and the focus is on the men. It reminds me of a favorite poem of mine: "The Old Italians Dying" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
