Canto Contigo by Jonny Garza Villa

When a Mariachi star transfers schools, he expects to be handed his new group's lead vocalist spot—what he gets instead is a tenacious current lead with a very familiar, very kissable face.

In a twenty-four-hour span, Rafael Alvarez led North Amistad High School’s Mariachi Alma de la Frontera to their eleventh consecutive first-place win in the Mariachi Extravaganza de Nacional; and met, made out with, and almost hooked up with one of the cutest guys he’s ever met.

Now eight months later, Rafie’s ready for one final win. What he didn’t plan for is his family moving to San Antonio before his senior year, forcing him to leave behind his group while dealing with the loss of the most important person in his life—his beloved abuelo. Another hitch in his plan: The Selena Quintanilla-Perez Academy’s Mariachi Todos Colores already has a lead vocalist, Rey Chavez—the boy Rafie made out with—who now stands between him winning and being the great Mariachi Rafie's abuelo always believed him to be. Despite their newfound rivalry for center stage, Rafie can’t squash his feelings for Rey. Now he must decide between the people he’s known his entire life or the one just starting to get to know the real him.

Canto Contigo is a love letter to Mexican culture, family and legacy, the people who shape us, and allowing ourselves to forge our own path. At its heart, this is one of the most glorious rivals-to-lovers romance about finding the one who challenges you in the most extraordinary ways.

Pubblicato in occasione della mostra milanese in collaborazione con il FAI – Fondo Ambiente Italiano e la Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d���Arte, il volume illustra la storia della moda e dello stile attraverso una selezione di abiti realizzati interamente in carta con l’inconfondibile talento creativo dell’artista Isabelle de Borchgrave: un originale excursus che parte da un sontuoso abito di corte di Elisabetta I per arrivare agli eleganti vestiti da ballo di Worth, agli abiti in stile orientale delle sorelle Callot fino alle inconfondibili creazioni di Coco Chanel e ai tailleur di Dior.

Non solo vestiti, ma anche scarpe e accessori che ci mostrano come da un materiale così semplice possa uscire una tale opera d’arte: “Si parte sempre da un foglio di carta – dice Isabelle de Borchgrave – ma poi la pittura, le mani, l’acqua, la straordinaria padronanza e la fantasia nell’uso dei materiali riescono a produrre effetti di velluto e di seta, spessori e morbidezze alla vista e al tatto, lucentezze d’oro e di perle e impalpabili preziosi merletti che ricordano la perfezione dei maestri fiamminghi”. Moda di carta presenta le riproduzioni delle più grandi marche, dal classico tailleur di Dior agli abiti da sera di Lanvin e Poiret, ai tradizionali capi di Chanel, oltre alle minuziose riproduzioni di abiti-icona che hanno rivoluzionato il nostro modo di vestire come l’abito Delphos, disegnato da Mariano Fortuny ispirato dalle tuniche delle sculture greche che rappresenta una radicale innovazione nell’abbigliamento femminile, poiché confortevole, privo di busto, e di facile realizzazione.

The beauty of Villa Contarini

In Villa Contarini's Ballroom, often referred to as the Stucco Room, one can find an extraordinary display of decorative richness that challenges established perceptions of interiors by incorporating non-structural elements, such as raised putti in the seventeenth-century style.

Adorning the walls are various paintings, among them "Shipwreck with the Liberation of a Slave," painted in 1620 by the Venetian artist Carlo Saraceni upon his return from Rome.

A fresco at the ceiling's center portrays "Virtue Expelling Vice," surrounded by allegorical representations like War (Mars and Venus), Justice (sword and balance), Peace (female figure with cornucopia and olive branch), and Nobility (female figure with crowns).

Positioned in Piazzola sul Brenta, within the Padova province of the Veneto region, Villa Contarini is one of the most extraordinarily beautiful Baroque rural palaces in northern Italy.

Mod opinion: I haven't heard of this book before and it doesn't sound like it would be that interesting to me personally, but if you enjoy ya romance this could be more interesting to you.
