❤️‍🔥Turin, Italy

Maxwell stood on the balcony of his hotel room, gazing out over the city below. The sky was a bright blue, and the sun was shining brightly as he slid his shades on, to block the brightness. He sipped his espresso as he felt the warm breeze on his skin.

His phone chimed, and he looked down at the screen. A smile spread quickly across his face as he saw the text from Riley.

Riley: 'Buongiorno, é San Valentino 💘'

[Good morning Max, It's Valentine's Day]

Maxwell: 'Hey, Ri🥰 Yes, I'm planning a late dinner in the piazza downtown for Daniella.'

Riley: 'Sounds romantic.' 😘

Maxwell: 'Yeah ...tks'

Riley: Thank you again for taking part in the competition

Maxwell: It is my pleasure, and I'm having so much fun dancing with Daniella.She's such an amazing woman, we are having a blast😁

Riley: You really like her, don't you?

Maxwell: I do😍.

Riley: Then, go for it, Max!

Maxwell: What?

Riley: You're crazy about her, and you should tell her how you feel.

Maxwell: No way.

Riley: Why not?

Maxwell: Well, first off, she's my partner, and we need to stay focused on winning this competition.

Second, we only just got back in touch, and I don't want to scare her off.

Third, I have no idea if she even feels the same way.

Riley: Well, you won't know unless you ask her.

Maxwell: I can't.

Riley: Why not?

Maxwell: What if I tell her and she says no?

❤️‍🔥Tango di Daniella Dance Studio

Walking into the studio, Maxwell swiftly climbed the stairs up and into the exercise room and stopped suddenly. The view from the upstairs balcony was breathtaking, with a beautiful panoramic view of the city skyline. The exercise room itself was spacious and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows letting in natural light. A variety of exercise machines and equipment scattered around the room; including treadmills, ellipticals, and stationary bikes.

In the corner, Daniella was effortlessly completing a series of provocative stretches, that showed off her toned legs and arms. She was wearing a pair of tight leggings and a sports bra, and her long, dark hair was pulled up into a ponytail.

As she stretched, she turned to face Maxwell, a smile playing on her lips. "Hey, Maxxie! Avanti, non essere timido!" [Come on in, don't be shy].

Maxwell nodded and stepped into the room. He took another moment to admire her figure, noting how fit and lean she was. "You look amazing, Daniella," he said, his cheeks flushed slightly.

Daniella smiled demurely and shrugged. "Grazie, Max. I try to stay in shape." [Thanks]

"It shows," Maxwell replied, unable to take his eyes off her.

Daniella chuckled softly, a hint of pink appearing on her cheeks. "Well, thank you. Shall we get started?"

Maxwell nodded, taking a deep breath. He was not sure why he was so nervous. The fact that he was about to dance with the woman he'd fallen in love with made him a little bit jittery.

Daniella straightened her body and moved into the starting position. "All right, Max, let's start with some basic steps. Just follow my lead," Daniella instructed, her tone confident and assured.

She started with a simple walk, and Maxwell tried to follow along, but his steps were a bit clumsy. Daniella gave him an encouraging smile. "It's okay, Max. Don't be afraid to be a little bit awkward. That's what makes it fun."

Maxwell took a deep breath and tried again, this time managing to keep his steps in line with Daniella's.

Daniella smiled and nodded, clearly pleased. "There you go! Now, let's try a little turn. Just follow my lead, and I'll show you the steps."

She demonstrated the move, and Maxwell followed along, albeit a little awkwardly. But he started to get the hang of it after a few tries, and Daniella was quick to praise him.

"You're a natural, Max! Keep it up, and we'll be winning this competition in no time," she commented, grinning broadly.

As the morning wore on, Maxwell felt more and more comfortable, and his steps become more fluid and confident.

"That's it, Max! You've got it," Daniella encouraged him, her eyes sparkled with pride

Daniella, in a blur of motion, her lithe body moved effortlessly through the steps, demonstrated s new routine.

Maxwell tried his best to keep up, but she is simply too fast for him.

She grinned as she finished the routine, and Maxwell could not help but feel a bit impressed.

"Wow, Daniella, that was incredible," he said, a little breathless.

"Thanks, Max," she replied, flashing him a smile.

"I'm a little worried about adding the more risque moves though," Maxwell replied. "What if I can't keep up?"

"Don't worry, Max," Daniella reassures him. "I'll go slow, and you can take your time learning the steps. And if you're really stuck, we can always stop and work on them some more."

Maxwell took a deep breath and nodded. "All right. I'm ready."

"Okay, let's try it again," Daniella said, getting into position.

She walked him through the steps, and this time, Maxwell managed to keep up without too much difficulty.

"Perfecto!" Daniella exclaimed. "You've got it, Max!"

"This is going to be amazing," Daniella said, her eyes twinkling.

Maxwell nodded, feeling a bit overwhelmed. "I hope so."

"Don't worry, Max, I know you'll do great," she replied, and squeezed his hand reassuringly.

"Now, let's practice those sexy moves," her voice dropped to a sultry purr.

She showed him how to move his hips, his body curving sensually as he does.

"Like this," she whispered, her eyes locked on his.

Maxwell's heart was racing as he followed her lead, their bodies moving in perfect sync.

"Good," she murmured, her hands trailed over his chest.

Maxwell's forbidden thoughts and desires took center stage in his mind.

"Let's take it up a notch," she said, a wicked grin on her face.

"Oh, yes," he replied, his voice low and husky.

The air was charged with electricity as they move closer, their bodies pressed together.

Daniella's lips were inches from his, and Maxwell could not resist any longer.

He closed the gap between them, his lips meeting hers in a searing kiss.

Daniella gasped, as Maxwell deepened the kiss, his tongue slid into her mouth. Her hands tangled n his hair as their bodies meld together.

The heat between them was scorching, and Maxwell knew that there's was no turning back now.

A loud cough interrupted the air.

Maxwell's body tensed at the sound as he turned his head and saw her.

"Daniella," her mother scolded. "Dovresti insegnare al tuo partner i passi di danza, non pomiciare con lui." ["You are supposed to be teaching your partner the dance moves, not making out with him."]

"MI dispiace, mamma." [I am sorry, mamma."]

Her mother shook her head, a stern look on her face.

"Tornate tutti e due al lavoto," ["Get back to work, both of you,"] she said, before leaving the room.

Maxwell and Daniella exchanged glances, a smile played on his lips.

"We'd better get back to it," Daniella said, her voice still breathless from their passionate kiss.

Maxwell nodded, trying to compose himself.

"Right," he replied, his pulse still racing.

"So, where were we?" Daniella asked, her eyes locked on his.

Maxwell grinned, his thoughts full of forbidden desires.

"Let's get back to those sexy moves," he says, his voice low and husky.

Daniella smiled demurely, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

"I thought you'd never ask," she purred, her body moved seductively against his.

Maxwell can't help but feel like the luckiest man alive as Daniella's arms wrapped around him, her body pressed against his.

He knew that they had a dance competition to win, but right now, the only thing on his mind was her.

❤️‍🔥Piazza di torino [Piazza of Turin]

"You did what?" Maxwell exclaimed, his eyes widened with shock.

"I know, it was crazy," Daniella replied, her cheeks flushed with excitement. "But I had to do it."

"You didn't have to marry him, though," Maxwell pointed out, still trying to process her revelation.

"I know," Daniella admitted, her smile faded slightly. "But he's a good man, and I really like him and I think you're the one for me, too."

Maxwell remained in stunned silence, thinking to himself, 'stop looking at me like that - I can't guarantee for anything right now.'

If only [snark] the BRF welcomed service through gardening, slow food, bee keeping, crafting, jam, baking, hospitality, entertaining...

The Beckhams, Arts, CRAFTS, Fashion & Slow Food at Highgrove

From Rebecca English: "The Slow Food movement was founded in Italy in 1986 as a fight back against the rise of fast food.

Their Majesties joined guests at the reception where students and graduates from The King's Foundation training programmes will provide demonstrations on their work in sustainable fashion and traditional heritage skills, such as, millinery, embroidery, furniture making and fashion design.

The King, who has long had a passion for heritage crafts, set up his foundation in 1990 and it currently offers courses for more than 15,000 students as year and boasts partnerships with CHANEL, YOOX Net a Porter and The Snowdon School of Furniture.

The dinner on last night, Friday was held in honour of sustainable "slow food" and was also attended by the Italian ambassador to the UK, Inigo Lambertini.

The slow food initiative was launched in 1986 in the small Italian town of Bra when food writer Carlo Petrini took exception to the opening of a McDonald’s in Rome’s Piazza di Spagna, leading to widespread national protests.

It promotes the right to good, clean and fair food for all, and strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine.

Others guests include pioneers and representatives of the Slow Food and Fashion movements.

Now established in more than 160 countries globally, off-shoots include the Slow Fashion movement which encourages consumers to purchase fewer, higher-quality items that last longer. 

Their fashion industry, while hugely profitable, is one of the biggest polluters on the planet.

It promotes the use of local, seasonal cuisine through the consumption of regional plants, seeds and livestock. At the dinner Mr Tucci paid tribute to the King's Foundation, which he said promotes the King's vision of 'living in harmony with nature'.

He described how students excelled in slow fashion and slow food, which he described as 'two of my obsessions'.

Mr Tucci told that gathered of the importance of sharing food, which he described as a 'restorative, connective act'.It is also celebrating the best of sustainable 'Slow Food and Slow Fashion', boating a glorious home-grown menu showcasing the best of British produce, with a touch of Italian flair.

A reception was held from 7pm in a marquee in the gardens with canapés including Rare & Pasture 'Salumi', Tuscan style Paté and Coppa, Yorkshire Pecorino cheese Puffs and British vegetables Caponata, washed down with the King's own Highgrove Sparkling Wine."

Follow in the Footsteps of Love: A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Verona's Most Romantic Landmarks

Verona, the city of love, is a must-visit destination for couples, history buffs, and anyone who's ever dreamed of strolling hand-in-hand through picturesque streets and piazzas.

IL CIRCO ATMOSPHERE SALE E ARRIVA A...

IL CIRCO ATMOSPHERE SALE E ARRIVA A MONCALIERI Prosegue il tour nel nord Italia del Circo Atmosphere della famiglia di Franco Vassallo, che dopo le tappe di Madignano, Novi Ligure, Asti, Alba e Bra si trova ora a Vicoforte (CN) dove presenterà i suoi spettacoli dal 19 al 27 aprile.

La tappa successiva sarà Saluzzo (CN) dove farà tappa dal 1 al 4 maggio, per poi dirigersi a Moncalieri (Torino) dove la permanenza è prevista dal 9 maggio al 2 giugno. Quest'anno per un cavillo legato al regolamento comunale la Città di Torino ha deciso di non assegnare a nessun complesso la Piazza della Pellerina nel periodo compreso tra Pasqua e il 1° maggio, appuntamento ormai consolidato con il circo. Pertanto il pubblico torinese se vorrà recarsi al Circo dovrà raggiungere il Centro Commerciale Le Porte di Moncalieri, a sud di Torino. 

Novità anche nello spettacolo dove dalla piazza di Bra si è aggiunto allo spettacolo Haurylik Artsiom (Artem Gavrilik) con il suo numero di ruota Cyr e Valentina Necchi al cerchio aereo.

Entrambi sono artisti internazionali aventi alle spalle contratti con Flic Flac, Hippodrome Circus, Circo Bellucci in Romania, mentre in Italia hanno lavorato da Oblio, Incanto, Gravity, Paranormal e diversi altri complessi.

Blurb: In Verona's bustling streets, beneath the shadow of Juliet's iconic balcony, a traveler reflects on the weight of tradition, love, and the enduring objectification of women. As tourists flock to touch the bronze statue of Shakespeare's heroine, seeking luck in love, one woman confronts her own past and the cultural stories that shape us. 'To Be A Statue' is a poignant exploration of autonomy, trauma, and the silent strength required to reclaim one's narrative.

CW: Sexual harassment/assault, objectification, implied trauma.

They say that touching certain parts of statues will bring good luck. Rubbing the belly of a Budha, or a dog statue’s nose, or the Charging Bull’s balls. I’ve seen my fair share of bronze statues buffed by human hands, even participated in some myself. A little turtle on Il Porcellino in Sydney owes its shiny head, at least in part, to me and the daily pets I give it on my morning walk. Something about bronze statues just makes us want to reach out and touch. 

Verona, Italy was beautiful. A day and a half of cramped legs and turbulence was well worth it for the medieval town that meandered along the Adige River. The orange street lights glittered off the turquoise water. Foliage of trees and potted plants hanging from balconies doused the streets in green. Burnt orange and muted yellow bricks contrasted against the beige masonry of the Romanesque architecture that surrounded us. 

Yesterday, Hayley and I had visited the Arena. While only a third of the size compared to the Colosseum, we were absolutely struck by how much it imposed. The streets of Piazza Bra from the Arena danced like a rainbow with its colourful houses. In addition to the tour, we managed to get tickets to Giuseppe Zenatallo’s Aida and the tragic opera filled our evening. 

Today, Hayley and I stand in Juliet’s House. Well, her courtyard to be more precise. Amongst the crowds, we admire her balcony and the ivy-coated trellis her Romeo would have climbed. The gate at the back of the courtyard is heavy with the weight of lovers’ locks, names of couples daring to love like Romeo and Juliet shining out under the sun. I can’t help but be reminded of the love lock bridge in Paris and wonder how long before the government puts an end to this too. How long before the gate falls over and all those relationships shatter with it?

There’s a bronze statue of Juliet standing just below the balcony. The people queue to have a photo with her and we join the curling line. All around, the tourists chatter in a thesaurus of languages. As we come to the front, with Juliet’s dim face staring back at us, I remember how cruel humanity is. Locked into herself, the people laugh and fondle her breast. Only her clothed chest has been rubbed golden. 

‘It’s a tradition,’ Hayley whispers to me. ‘They say if you touch her right breast, it’ll bring good luck for finding your one true love.’ 

The more I look at her, the sadder her eyes seem. It’s a familiar sadness. With our eyes locked, the line between statue and person begins to blur. As if the day were Friday and we spoke in unison, I feel I’m the one encased in bronze, standing there having my right breast cupped and carressed for the good fortune of a stranger. Juliet takes my place in line with Hayley, carrying all my history. 

It seems easy to put that young girl, only age fourteen, in my place. In my memories, my fiery red locks turn into her coppery bronze. The girl in My Little Pony pyjamas, dancing to Hannah Montana, becomes the statue Juliet. When Aunt Petra helps Mum in the kitchen and her boyfriend stays, I’m no longer the one in the room. Juliet takes the fall. Dull bronze shining under his touch. Maybe it’ll bring him luck. Maybe he and Aunt Petra will be together forever.. 

I can feel tourists groping at my breast when Juliet wanders onto my high school oval. The boys crowd her like the sightseers at Casa de Giulietta. It wasn’t her fault that she began maturing so young. It was natural for her to have a D-cup chest by the time she started high school. She wasn’t doing anything wrong when she let them ogle her. As far as she was concerned that’s what gave her purpose. If being sexualised was the only time she was given attention then how can you blame her for letting them have their way?

Juliet never grew past that point. Man devoured her before she became a grown up. Murder by lust. I think if she had the opportunity to live in this world a little longer, her eyes would have ended up looking like mine. Maybe her eyes were even the same shade ofshade of green. With age, they’d harden and grey. With age, she’d learn to hate her body. With age, she’d come to learn that Romeo never loved her. His infatuation was flighty and hardly worth the death she endured. Dream that the two resolved their families’ issues, that they spent their final moments with wrinkled hands wrapped around each other. Enjoy that innocence. 

‘Should we leave a message?’ Hayley asks and gestures to the wall below Juliet’s balcony. Littered in messages from young lovers in the hopes their love will last forever. Wandering closer, I see notes from Gloria and Chiara, Leo and Baby, E+R, someone named Armin. Messages that read ‘por las amores que te hacen’ and ‘que se lia conmigo’ and ‘I love my family so much’. People will do anything other than work hard for what they want. Relying on superstition and luck. 

I don’t want love. Not anymore. 

‘Yes,’ I answer and Hayley pulls out a paper and pen. She’s never been one to leave the house without some stationary on her. Writer’s habit, she jokes. Taking the pen in hand, I write down my wish. Maybe someday Juliet will make it come true. 

‘For love that liberates rather than confines. In the pursuit of dreams, may we shatter the bronze ceiling.

-Serena’

Colpita con una bottiglia di Coca cola vuota che le ha fratturato il braccio solo perché, insieme ad altre donne del quartiere e all’associazione Tor Più Bella, stava pulendo via Scozza. E' successo questa mattina a Roma a Maricetta Tirrito, volontaria da sempre impegnata nel sociale, aggredita da un uomo di origine nordafricana mentre ripuliva la strada.

“Quell'uomo, uno dei tanti spacciatori di zona, ha prima offeso le donne impegnate a ripulire quella che è una delle vie di Tor Bella Monaca abbandonate al degrado, poi le minacce perché evidentemente 'occupavamo' la sua piazza di spaccio, infine quella bottiglia lanciata contro un sasso in direzione della volontaria - racconta all'Adnkronos il presidente del VI Municipio Nicola Franco, stamattina sul posto insieme all'associazione - Voglio esprimere tutta la mia solidarietà a Maricetta Tirrito che, assieme ad altre mamme, aveva deciso di rispondere all’appello di don Coluccia, il prete antimafia, e di pulire via Scozza, a Tor Bella Monaca".

"La reazione scomposta del nordafricano, che ha causato 25 giorni di prognosi a Maricetta, segnala il fatto che la criminalità è in difficoltà - aggiunge - Con la società civile presente e le Istituzioni, don Coluccia e il Dg di Ama Alessandro Filippi con gli operatori, gli spacciatori hanno dovuto interrompere la loro attività. L’aggressore è stato fermato e portato in caserma.

Come per l’operazione blitz di giovedì mattina, inoltre, rileviamo che non sia un caso la nazionalità di quest’aggressore e di quella degli altri manovali della criminalità organizzata: sono tutti extra comunitari. La criminalità si serve di questi soggetti, spesso in possesso già di più fogli di via; non possiamo tollerarli oltre, devono essere portati nei Cie di tutta Italia per poi essere spediti nelle rispettive patrie. Durante le operazioni di bonifica ho trovato e consegnato ai carabinieri un machete e un coltello nascosti in un divano su cui abbiamo poi scoperto che faceva prostituire donne e anche ragazzine. Questa è la strada giusta, non molliamo un centimetro di territorio”. [...]

Weekend a Verona - #Veronatour2019

Weekend a Verona – #Veronatour2019

Verona è una bomboniera. Ci ho passato due giorni, uno di sole e uno di pioggia, ma me ne sono innamorata e ho avuto tempo di girarne abbastanza bene tutto il centro. Passeggiavo per le strade e per le piazze caratteristiche. Sono entrata in alcuni musei e ho avuto modo di contemplarla dall’alto, dalla cima dell’Arena e dalla Torre dei Lamberti.

Famosa in tutto il mondo per la storia di Romeo…
