Yesterday I quickly tried my hand at an apple strudel.

It is part of the Italian tradition.

Then my usual Chinese black tea in leaves.

While today I had breakfast with another way: they are called rusks, the brand I recommend (Gentilini) is with butter.

And artisan wild blackberry jam that I picked last summer.

I know what Bacon is.

But I wouldn't be able to eat like you do, you certainly have excellent tea available.

Veramente




The song "Veramente" by Mario Venuti explores the theme of authenticity and genuine emotions that arise in relationships. The lyrics portray the narrator's realization that he has fallen deeply in love, despite initially pretending not to care about the other person. They express the desire for honesty and sincerity in the relationship.

At the beginning of the song, the narrator acknowledges his surprise at the intensity of his feelings, stating that it seemed impossible to them. However, they admit that it actually happened, emphasizing the authenticity of their emotions.

The phrase “I pretended not to give a damn about you” reveals the narrator's previous attempt to appear disinterested in order to appear more charming. However, the next lines convey their current state of vulnerability. They now openly admit their emotional involvement, using the repetition of "really" to emphasize their sincerity.

The mention of the sky screaming the other person's name and the awakening of spring symbolize the overwhelming presence and impact the beloved has on the narrator. The use of natural imagery, likening the narrator's awakening to that of a flower, portrays the blossoming of their emotions and the desire for a new beginning.

The lyrics also highlight the role of honesty and authenticity in a relationship. They urge the other person to learn to lie more often if they truly love the narrator, suggesting that the masks worn may sometimes not accurately reflect their true feelings. The idea that these masks sometimes reflect a person's true essence implies that there is a depth to the other person that remains veiled.

The repeated plea for a new illusion and a new season signifies the narrator's desire for a renewed and authentic connection. They seek to live in a state of truth, where both parties can openly express their emotions and be authentic with each other.

Lyrics of the song Veramente (Mario Venuti), taken from the album Grandi imprese

It seemed impossible it could happen to me
But it actually happened to me
Really, truly, truly

I pretended not to care about you
To make me more interesting
But now I'm truly alone
Really, really

The sky shouts your name
Spring will awaken me like a flower
Like a flower

You should learn to lie a little more often
If you really loved me
Because the masks you wear are sometimes more sincere
They reflect the essence
Now you're really faking it
Really, really
Really, truly, truly

The sky shouts your name
Spring
It will wake me up like a flower

Let me experience a new illusion
Let me experience a new season
Let me experience a new illusion
Let me live
Really, really


The sky shouts your name
Spring
It will wake me up like a flower

It seemed impossible it could happen to me
But it actually happened to me
I pretended not to care about you
To make me more interesting
But now I'm truly alone

Let me experience a new illusion
Let me experience a new season
Let me experience a new illusion
Let me live
Like a flower

The sky shouts your name
Spring will awaken me like a flower
