#isola ;; spring festival

[muzuikashii]

“...”

Even though she is not participating in the latte art activity, she finds herself impressed at how people are putting so much effort in creating a wonderful art out of a latte. Miu does not consider herself as creative, by any means. Which is why she cannot help but to feel fascinated at the passion that the participants show to create the art.

She stares at the latte she just recently orders, with beautiful flower drawn on top of it. And now she really cannot bring herself to drink it. Well, it is also still hot, so she cannot drink it at the moment either without the possibility of ruining the art at the latte.

She glances towards the man that is sitting at the opposite side of the table. She recognizes him--she ever met him when the chocolate chaos happened at this city--and now she happens to meet him again in this cafe.

“Um...” She starts. “I don’t know that it’s possible to create drawing at latte... I guess people can use just about any medium to express their feelings through art...”

drePale King was learning that festivals were a common occurrence in Isola, excitement bubbling from the inhabitants lips as glaring messages came from all avenues that spring was near.

Spring meant the blooming of plant life, growing vibrant and lively in the sun. Though the sun had never been a source of comfort he found himself out and about, basking in the warmth and the growth that stirred the ache in his heart for his dear Lady. 

Distractions were in order. The festive offerings of his native (how strange to think himself native to anywhere, let alone here) were woefully pedestrian, so he took to the Cotes ward, flying across the ward so he would not have to bare the crowded public transportation. Judging by the few other winged beings he saw, a popular idea.

At sight of circular domes placed within a park, Pale King touched down to mingle briefly through the crowd without actually mingling - a practiced skill of being without interaction. He watched many a happy group step upon a pedestal and leave with a pot not previously held. Curious. He could not stay away a moment longer, rudely cutting ahead of someone whose face he did not even glance at. 

Peering at the attendant, he gestured to the circular platform. ❝What is this dais for?❞

“Oh, aren’t you a cute one!” beamed the human, bearing hideous blunted teeth but his frown was from the adjective ‘cute’; he was nothing of the sort. “To answer you question, this is a special event. A citizen steps on the platform and it will match their vibe with a compatible plant. Free of charge!”

He stared at the simple circle, innocuous and plain as the rocks upon the ground is not for the smooth, metallic finish over its surface. ❝...And how is that accomplished?❞

“Sorry little guy but that’s a trade secret. Above my pay grade, y’know?” He, in fact, did not know nor did he care. Pale King nodded and stepped up onto the platform expecting some rush of air or soul or at least a bit of light but no, all he heard was a beep and from behind a compartment in the wall was revealed a small pot.

The attendant retrieved the pot, expression shifting from perplexed to bemused rapidly as she held it out to him. “Here you go! Pretty interesting choice, an Isoetes; most folks get flowers or root vegetables. Not sure why that last one.” In his hands the small pot was barely filled with even smaller leafy stems, bunched together at the center with the scent of moistened dirt easily scented.

❝An Isoetes?❞ 

“Oh yes. Quite an interesting plant. Once varied and wide spread, they grew as tall as trees but now?” The assistant pointed to the small sprouts in the vast expanse of it’s too big pot. “They’re no bigger then weeds.”

A weed... With a curt thanks he left the dome and took his pathetic package home with him. Alighting on the balcony, Pale King let himself into his room where he noted the Vessel’s absence but did not worry about it. The Vessel came and went nowadays. Change was as inevitable, a sentiment he reflected on as he set the pot on the windowsill.

Closed starter for @decantress

The Springtide Festival brought many activities to Isola, most of which Specter Knight was not sure what to make of. Spring really did not feel like an appropriate season for him to celebrate. Did anyone want to see a figure of death during a celebration of the revival of life? No, he thought it best to keep to himself, observing the levities from afar. Still, one arrangement did catch his attention. A dance party. If there was any place in this city where his presence was suited, was it not a dance? La Danse Macabre, for you too will die, no matter the time, no matter your station. It was even set in a place generally reserved for the upper class! Level 3 and 4 audaciously sneered at the state of his shroud, the centuries his armor bore. Though he walked as both a knight and as Death, he received no respect. While this stirred his ire, perhaps even more so was the arrogance. That the people who lived in those lofty tiers would tell others where they did not belong, with a particular cant to anyone beneath them in class. His being filled with caustic bile at the thought, a bone of contention that felt older than his undeath, older than his mind knew.

Fibonacci Ward was his least favorite district to traverse. If one could put their head inside a beehive he imagined it would be a pleasanter experience. Busy, but orderly. Organic, natural, less an assault on the senses. That would not stop him, not today. They had invited all to enter the higher strata of those spires, who would he be to deny them? To not grant their wish? Death walked amongst you this spring, this dance! This waltz. The tall lich stood at the venue dedicated to waltzing, a dance he knew and decided was thematically appropriate. Unfortunately he had been so preoccupied with his fantastical, morbid purpose it did not occur to him he would need a partner to waltz. And who would dance with Death? Watching the other dancers drift along the floor, their fine clothes likening them to severed blossoms in the wind, he felt immensely foolish. This would not do.

[heart3yed]

and I'm gonna do it here too!! haha, LIKE THIS for an isola spring festival thread. no caps at the moment, but subject to change. 💛

We’ve been in Sicily for a good number of days. That island is a splendid destination for sightseeing and summer vacations too. Here are the best Sicily beaches to have in mind, after reading our extra posts for Cefalu, Taormina, Palermo, Catania, Agrigento and Syracuse.

In all these places you will find the best beaches in Sicily. Read this post for the best things to do in Sicily.

Best Sicily Beaches in all Coasts

So, are you looking for a premier European destination to unwind this coming summer? Consider the Mediterranean island of Sicily.

It is by far the largest island in the Mediterranean. With an area measuring 25,711 km², this island indeed provides awesome beach facilities for your enjoyment.

Sicily’s suitability as a holiday destination is further solidified by the fact that it hardly experiences the wide seasonal fluctuations in weather and climate as is the rest of continental Europe.

This means you can visit it just about any time of the year.

We have sampled the best beaches on the island. We are going to explain them alongside the resources which they have for you to explore.

Taormina

Taormina is a picturesque Italian holiday resort. It is situated at the base of Mt. Etna and strategically above the Ionian Sea.

City and coast of Taormina from above

The town is a popular fashion destination for the lovers of sea activities. Throughout the resort are numerous hotels and restaurants. A cable car also exists which connects this beach resort to the other adjacent destinations.

Read our experience in Taormina.

Apart from the usual beach activities like sunbathing and swimming, this resort city also provides numerous other opportunities. For instance, it is right next to the tiny island of Isola Bella. This is a nature reserve which showcases numerous attractions inspired by nature.

San Vito Lo Capo

Located at the northwestern Sicily, this seaside town overlooks Mt. Monaco and is sheltered from the harsh external weather elements.

Its beaches are unlike any other in Sicily. On the whole, they exhibit some clear azure waters, are adorned with some white sands and have numerous palm trees around and about.

The culture of this town is also strange and one of its kind. Each afternoon, the shops in the city are locked and the streets dead quiet. If you are not taking the afternoon siesta, you are on the beach. What a nice place to go and spend some quality time?

Palermo

Palermo is the capital of this Italian autonomous region. Throughout the city’s wave-washed strands are numerous beaches.

The two most outstanding of these are the Mondello and La Piazza. Generally speaking, the beaches of the city are well-maintained and appropriately equipped for your comfort and proper stay.

Mondello beach, near Palermo

They possess deck-chairs, beach umbrellas, and the elegant multi-colored wooden cabins. To make the best of your time while at Palermo, you must time your visit appropriately.

If you are a bathing enthusiast, May to September is the best time to visit. If you like swimming though, the spring to autumn would be your best time to pay a visit.

Here is our experience in Palermo.

Cefalù

This northern Sicilian town features long sandy beaches. It is basically a picturesque and historic town.

Cefalu beach

Its strategic location on the rocky headland also provides breathtaking views of the adjacent Mediterranean Sea.

What’s more? The city is served by many decent transportation links.

Cefalù is an embodiment of the Italian past. That is because it developed from the numerous fishing villages which graced Italy’s past.

This is the place to be for sightseeing and photography. That is contained numerous archaeological sites and ancient buildings make it all the more a historical gem.

Catania

Catania stands apart from the others in that it is served by an international airport. Apart from this, it also avails to you a comfortable 18km stretch of white sandy beaches to explore, relax, and enjoy.

Active nightlife does exist here. This is evidenced by the existence of numerous night clubs, bars music concerts, and restaurants. It, therefore, follows that this is the place to be if you are a nightlife enthusiast.

Syracuse

Syracuse is a beach city right at the length of the Ionian coast. The city is generally famed from its ancient ruins.

This notwithstanding, its coastal strip of Syracuse has perhaps some of the most beautiful beaches that the entire island of Sicily has to offer.

Ortygia or Syracuses

Featuring breathtaking and white sandy shorelines, these beaches are surrounded by some incredible natural scenery which is great to behold.

Your visit to this beach, therefore, gives you so much more than you actually bargained for. You get to enjoy the water sport, beach activity, and excellent sightseeing opportunities.

Sciacca

Sciacca is in its bare form and shapes a fishing port city. Located at the south of Sicily, this venue is an embodiment of numerous attractions. From excellent ceramics, thermal baths, religious gatherings, and large fishing fleet, the untold wonders of this city never cease to amuse.

Sciacca beach

By far the best reason for a visit to this locale is as a layover in the course of a journey to any destination in North Africa or the entire Mediterranean world. You may as well also time your visit accordingly to take part in the numerous festivals which are held in the city year round.

Licata

Licata is a seaside resort city which is situated right at the heart of the southern portions of Sicily. The beach is full of historical attractions and a couple of other natural wonders.

At its east are numerous white sandy beaches while its west side is dominated by a series of cliffs and pebble beaches.

Take your time to visit this area to swim, enjoy some water sport, and also sunbathe. After you are through with those water sports activities, you also want to explore other attractions of the area. In particular, we recommend that you try out the various traditional cuisines on offer.

Trapani

Trapani is an enchanting parcel of land. It comprises some marvelous coastlines which have alternating steep cliffs together with endless sandy terrains.

Trapani beach

Along the entire shoreline are some valuable naturalistic spots, cliff seafronts, and sandy strands. You may wish to relax, sunbathe, and even swim if you so wish. Owing to the picturesque nature of this location, you might also want to take some photos or simply relax.

Capo d’Orlando

Capo d’Orlando is not one but numerous beaches that span a total of 14 km stretch. The beaches draw quite a number of watersport enthusiasts ranging from holidaymakers and revelers.

From viewing the Aeolian Islands in the horizon to swimming, and boating, the opportunities that Capo d’Orlando provides you are limitless.

There are also numerous cultural shows, events, and exhibitions in this beach city. To catch the best of them, you have advised to time your visit accordingly. By far the most fascinating of these are the blues and the Villa Piccolo clubs.

Acireale

Acireale is an elegant baroque town. Located at a stone-throw distance from Catania, the beach rises up a hill which overlooks the adjacent Ionian Sea.

Even though Acireale is predominantly a beach city, it is only great for relaxation, not really for water-related activities.

This beach is a wonderful place to escape from busy city life. That is because it confers to you some breath of fresh air not to mention its detached location. Given also that it attracts fewer visitors, you will find it less congested and highly breathable.

Mazara del Vallo

Mazara, by its conception and design, is a city that is dedicated to all things hospitality. As you stroll around and about the city you will come across numerous eateries, hotels, casinos, and high-end restaurants. What is more striking though is the cosmopolitan nature of the city.

Mazara del Vallo

This is the place to fish, dive, relax, and swim. If you do not like any of the aforementioned water sport, you can still take some of your time to gaze at the anemones, daisies, and wild orchids that surround the area.

Porto Empedocle

Are you a lover of nature? Do you just want to go to a beach and spend some of your time gazing at the breathtaking wonders of nature? You have this Porto Empedocle for your consideration! On the whole, this beach offers breathtaking natural attractions over and above the ordinary beautiful beaches.

Among the attractions that await you here are medieval structures, excellent opportunities to take memorable photos, and simply a chance to take some rest and relax. For your curiosity, this village is the birthplace of two renowned Italian writers, Andrea Camilleri, and Luigi Pirandello.

Castellammare del Golfo

Who said going on a holiday overseas ought to be that expensive? You can and indeed deserve spending the least to go for such a holiday. The Castellammare del Golfo is the place to retreat to. It does have a rough sandy beach right behind its harbor.

Castellammare Del Golfo

Yet another beach is situated to the east of the medieval castle which sits atop a cliff. What makes this beach cheap is the fact that it is served by an excellent public transport system, which is cheap and affordable.

It also contains numerous beach establishments that are geared towards your overall satisfaction.

Marsala

Marsala has two main beaches. These are Lido Signorino and Punta Tramontana. Both of them are sandy and have clear adjacent waters.

Over and above this, the two beaches are equipped with numerous relevant facilities which are intended to make your visit worthwhile and very enjoyable.

The summerhouses which are easily reachable by car are by far the most notable. Marsala beaches are the places to consider going to if you want to sunbathe, adore rocky terrains, or simply want to enjoy some quiet time with that ‘someone special.’

Gela

Gela is one of Sicily’s most ancient communities. Its coastline extends roughly 24 km and is adorned with fine and golden sandy beaches and dunes. Along the coastline is some Mediterranean flora which contributes to the beauty of the land nearby.

On the whole, Gela is the place for beach and water sport. Some of the activities that revelers engage in while here are jogging, canoeing, diving, and beach volley. You might also retreat to the archeological ruins that are located around the beaches for sightseeing and photography.

Avola

Christened ‘the grand canyon of Sicily,’ Avola is a seaside village which is nestled in the southeastern portion of the island. It is so called as it is a very beautiful destination which makes for a great place to spend your vacation while on the island.

Its coast is rather unusually transparent. The beaches themselves are long, sandy, and expansive enough to accommodate all your small children. This expanse also provides for great and romantic strolls which are great for relaxation. You want to spend your romantic evening here!

Favignana

Visiting a beach need not necessarily mean swimming, sunbathing or engaging in a water sport. You can just do so for the sake of a small trip. 

If you are such kind of a person, we recommend the Favignana beach.

Favignana rocky beach

This beach is rocky and hence unsuited for water-based activities. However, its secluded location, sheltered harbor, and sweet breezes make are ideal for relaxation. Also, it offers you impressive views of the surrounding environment. Be wary of the jellyfishes which may attack you from time to time.

Giarre

Giarre is a tiny village within the island of Sicily. It is home to Sicily’s most popular beach, Fondachello. The adjacent sea is quite clear not to mention that it is constant bombardment by the strong winds. Its strand is also cleaner and unusually cooler than the rest of the island as a result of this.

Summer is the best time to pay a visit to this city-cum-beach. It is at this time that the area experiences many events and concerts which add flavor to your visit. Further to this, the beaches are well-equipped by reason of the possession of numerous beach resources.

Ready for the Best Beaches in Sicily?

A visit to Sicily is a must if you indeed are a true beach enthusiast. The numerous facilities and amenities this wonderful geographic locale has to offer are simply inescapable.

Its Mediterranean location further makes it suitable for a visit year-round. This stems from its lack of huge seasonal variations in weather and climate, and as such the Sicily beaches are a delight.

What are you waiting for? Rush to your calendar and find the best time to do so right away! You do not want to visit alone, do you?

Consider bringing your family too! You want them to enjoy the awesome wonders and resources of the city as well.

10 Reasons to Visit France in the Winter

01 of 11

Lower Airfare and Hotel Rates

Getty/Berthold Trenkel

Generally airfares are much lower during winter, with the exception of the Christmas holiday season in December when they are quite high.

In December you will find that airfares rise to normal levels, particularly the closer you get to December 25th, but in November, January, February and most of March there will be special prices on offer. The prices begin to rise again about a week before Easter.

Hotels also have great bargains so check them out for deals like three nights for the price of two, and special themed packages.

Charming Christmas Markets

Christmas markets sparkle with lights and fill the air with the scents of cloves, Provençal soaps, and spiced wine. Small wooden booths fill the streets with the sights and sounds of the Christmas season and are great places for finding gifts you can’t get anywhere else, often from local producers and artisans. The surrounding shops get in the mood as well with bright windows full of tempting items. There are often skating rinks attached to the markets, many with carousels and entertainment for children.

Christmas markets are set up all over France, and there are several in Paris, but the best known ones are in large cities in the north like Lille and Strasbourg. Small towns like Castres in the Tarn also have delightful markets.

Most markets open either at the end of November or beginning of December. Some close on Christmas Eve while others continue until the end of December.

Also look out for chateaux that open especially around Christmas. They are often beautifully lit with candles, and the gardens look like something out of a fairy tale. Check out dates for Vaux-le-Vicomte, a short train ride from Paris.

Earthy Winter Cuisine

Andrea Gaillard

French food in winter takes on a heartening, earthy feel. And nothing is earthier than those famous black truffles. You can go on a truffle hunt yourself, or buy the black riches at places like Carpentras in the Var where the weekly Friday truffle market lasts from mid-November to early March. Mushrooms in all forms are sold in markets and appear on restaurant menus. November festivals in Brittany and Normandy bring the harvest of the sea to coastal towns. At Christmas, shelves in shops from large supermarkets to small local epiceries groan under the weight of festive foods like foie gras, smoked salmon, and divine chocolates.

Skiing

France has some of the largest and greatest ski areas in the world like Les Trois Vallées, Paradiski Espace Killy, and more. Skiing in France offers both challenges to the world’s top skiers and slopes suitable for beginners, luxury resorts like Courchevel, and family-orientated places such as Flaine near Mont Blanc. The Alps is the best known area, but there are other mountain ranges in France to consider as well. 

Transport links are very good as the French airports of Chambery, Grenoble, Lyon Bron, and Lyon St. Exupéry are close to each other and the surrounding ski areas. If you’re coming from the UK, there are plenty of cheap flights on low-cost airlines. Either fly direct, or spend the night in Paris, board the train early the next morning, and start skiing that day.

All the resorts have English-speaking instructors and those from the Ecole du Ski Français are trained to teach children from the age of three as well as people who are blind or have disabilities.

The apres-ski scene is pretty lively in most resorts and many of them hold spectacular festivals throughout the winter from snow sculpture competitions to classical music and jazz concerts.

Other Winter Sports

Laurent Salino/OT Alpe d’Huez

In the past few years, French ski resorts have invested heavily and effectively in winter sports other than downhill skiing. Many now offer showshoeing, skiddoing, toboganning, and skating, as well as cross-country skiing and ski jeering (where you’re pulled along on skis behind a horse). More extreme sports like ice diving are gaining in popularity and for a great thrill learn how to drive on ice (which may come in handy back home).

Hot Thermal Water Spas

During the cold weather, try the leisure facilities at any of France’s famous spa towns. Towns like Vichy in the Auvergne are world-famous, but there are hot thermal waters with public access in towns like Pombieres-les-Bains in the Vosges in Lorraine, Bourbon-l’Archambault in the remote and beautiful Auvergne, Aix-les-Bains in Savoie, and Evian-les-Bains on the shores of Lake Geneva, known the world over for the water it produces. If a town’s name ends in “les-bains”, you can bet there are thermal waters and a spa there.

Indulge yourself during the winter months when spa hotels offer great packages. Check out top hotels like the Chateau Audrieu in Normandy and most of the Relais et Chateaux group of hotels which are top of the range, and have great deals in the off-season.

Winter Festivals

Start the winter round of festivals with the annual celebration of the arrival of Nouveau Beaujolais at midnight on the third Thursday of November. During the winter, music, and jazz festivals move indoors but keep on performing, while events like the Cheval Passion horse show bring fabulous equestrian acts to Avignon in January. Watch out for local festivals honoring St. Vincent in wine-growing areas, particularly Champagne and Burgundy, traditionally on January 22nd. The south of France defies the winter with events like the Limoux Carnival which begins in mid January, while the Lemon Festival in Menton heralds the end of winter and the start of Spring.

Mediterranean Warmth

Amanda Hall/Getty Images

While winter can be cold, you’re more than likely to get delightful warm sunny days though chilly nights along the Riviera and the Côte d’Azur. The temperatures are balmy during the day, so go for a brisk walk beside the sea, then sit in front of a roaring fire for an aperitif in the evening. You can get the best of both worlds in Nice, and swim (if you’re moderately hardy) in the morning in the Mediterranean, before driving the 90 kilometers up to Isola 2000 in the Mercantour National Park for a day’s skiing.

Decorated Paris

Joe Daniel Price/Getty Images

Paris takes on a different dimension in winter. There’s nothing more magical than walking in the crisp air along the River Seine looking at the grand buildings in the clear winter light. When the summer tourists are gone, you feel the city is your own. Must-dos include dropping into Galeries Lafayette to see their giant Christmas tree with its fabulous gold ornaments. The holiday lights that line the Champs-Elysées are some of the most beautiful in the world. The Christmas markets sell everything that is seasonal, chic, and covetable. Disneyland Paris of course puts on a marvelous show and there are plenty of ice-skating rinks around to help you work off all those extra holiday calories.

Buy a packet of roasted chestnuts to keep you going, or just sit on a heated terrace in one of the great sidewalk cafes, order hot chocolate, and watch the world go by.

10 of 11

Bargain Shopping and Sales

Vincent Besnault/Getty Images

The sales season in France is government-controlled and in most French regions the winter sales start in mid-January and run to mid-February. Sales in France are proper sales, with shops selling off out-of-season stock rather than sub-standard stock bought in. As all good French women reckon that if you're out of season you might as well drop out entirely, it means great bargains for foreign visitors who don't care about the season but want good clothes at good prices.

If you miss the sales, don't worry. There are bargains to be had in France throughout the year, particularly in the discount malls and shopping centers around the country which offer great prices on many top brands.

You'll also find luxury shopping in Paris, but you won't find many bargains.

11 of 11

Valentine’s Day

Finally, don't forget St. Valentine's Day on February 14th.

France has a Saint Valentin village but it's pretty crowded around the festival. The French claim St Valentine as their own, though the Brits have a thing or two to say about that.

If you're in France in February, choose one of France's romantic cities.

27/01 Zero (vent’anni di divertimento!)... Party al Quirinetta di Roma

Una maratona di 12 ore insieme ai protagonisti del clubbing e del bere bene a Roma: arriva domani, sabato 27 gennaio al Quirinetta, la festa itinerante che celebra il ventennale del magazine ZERO, il punto di riferimento per chi ogni giorno vuole sapere dove andare e cosa fare in città. Dopo il successo del primo evento celebrativo tenutosi a Milano a gennaio 2017 presso Macao - Nuovo Centro per le Arti, la Cultura e la Ricerca, ZERO racconta 20 anni di divertimento nella Capitale con 30 dj scelti tra i più significativi della scena romana, sia per le loro produzioni sia per il loro impegno nell’organizzazione di serate e, contemporaneamente, con 40 bartender che si alterneranno nelle postazioni dedicate alla nuova cultura del drink che tutti ormai conoscono come “mixology”, arte in cui Roma può dire di avere raggiunto l'eccellenza di Milano. Una staffetta dove ogni ora ci sarà un nuovo remix da ballare e un nuovo cocktail da degustare, praticamente dodici serate in una! Obiettivo: celebrare la città e superare gli impressionanti numeri registrati in occasione della prima memorabile festa a Milano, con 23 dj, 30 barman e migliaia di presenze per altrettanti cocktail serviti.

Roma dunque riparte da ZERO! E si prepara a festeggiare in un grande evento tutta quella creatività diffusa di cui la rivista è testimone attento e sensibile da ben due decenni. Una festa di Roma e per Roma, con i protagonisti della città, quelli che riempiono le pagine di ogni numero del magazine. Perché ZERO è un giornale cittadino, che le città le racconta. E attraverso questa occasione intende riunire tutte le realtà capitoline di questa grande narrazione.

A passarsi il testimone di questa lunga storia saranno, in consolle: Adiel (Ultrabeat), Andrea Esu (L-Ektrica/Spring Attitude), Andrea Lai (Agatha), Andypop (Hot Cakes Bass/Abformal Recordings), Beat Soup, Blackie (Smash), Bob Corsi (Magnetica, Go Bang, Club Tropicana), Borgioli (Curtis Wolf), Claudio Coccoluto (The Dub), Dj Red (BPitch Control), Emiliano Cataldo (Radio™), Equohm (Since), Fabio Luzietti (Screamadelica), Flavia Lazzarini (Glamda, Disco Misto), Gino Woody Bianchi (Cut Rec /Plaza), Hugo Sanchez (Tropicantesimo), Lady Coco (Pussybay/Kingdom), Lorenzo Bitw (MOX), Luzy L & Corry X (Toretta Stile/Rock'nRoll Robot/Twiggy), Marcolino (Ultrasuoni), Miz Kiara (Female Cut), Nan Kolè (Gqom Oh), Nicola Casalino (Fish’n’Chips), Orree (Since), Pier (Viral), Sere Na (MOX), Simona Faraone as Pharaoh (New Interplanetary Melodies/Roots Underground Records), Sine One, Valerio! (Puas Puas), Zerø(Rebel Rebel).

Alle postazioni bar: Alfio Caffo (Owner Atipico), Andrea Orofino (Owner Keyhole Speakeasy), Antonio De Meo (Bartender La Terrasse Cuisine & LoungeSofitel Rome Villa Borghese), Antonio Parlapiano (Owner The Jerry Thomas Project), Dafne Kesmiris (Bar Manager Goa), Daniele Gentili (Bar Manager Marco Martini - Cocktail Bar), Daniele Protasi (Owner Bootleg), Daniele Volpe (Bartender The Race Club), Davide Diaferia (Head Bartender Club Derrière), Domenico Maura (Bar Manager Grand Hotel Via Veneto/ Consigliere Capo Barman Aibes), Eleonora De Santis (Brand Ambassador Bonaventura Maschio), Emanuele Broccatelli (Owner DRINK-it), Emanuele Principi Bruni (Brand Ambassador Molinari), Fabrizio Valeriani (Bar Manager Sambamaki), Federico Diddi (Bartender The Barber Shop), Flavio Wijesinghe (Bar Manager Latteria Garbatella), Francesco De Sanctis (Freelance Bartender), Francesco Pirineo (Best Brand Ambassador 2017 Compagnia dei Caraibi), Giorgio Vicario (Bar Manager Beere Mangiare & Co), Giovanni Seddaiu (Bar Manager Rosso Eat-Drink-Stay), Luca de Lucia (Docente c/o Bartendence), Marco Ferretti (Brand Ambassador Sine Metu Squad Jameson/ Bartender Nojo), Marco Zampilli, Mariano Cleri (Bar Manager Fuoco), Mario Farulla (Bar Manager Baccano), Mario Sestili (Bartender La Fine), Matteo Zanotto (Owner Mezzo), Maurizio Musu (Freelance Bartender), Mirko Cagnazzo Della Tolla (Head Bartender La Terrasse Cuisine & Lounge Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese), Omar El Asry (Owner DRINK-it), Paolo Guasco (Brand Ambassador Altos Tequila), Pierluigi Intini (Owner & Founder Salotto42 Copenhagen), Riccardo Speranza, Stefano Ripiccini (Bar Manager Private Charade Bar Hotel De' Ricci), Valentina Bertello (Madrina di Spirito), Valerio De Stefani (Owner Sottobanco), Vieri Baiocchi (Owner Yeah! Pigneto), Vincenzo Palermo (Owner APT).

Tra il dancefloor e il bancone verrà inoltre presentata un’esposizione dedicata alle migliori copertine della rivista in vent’anni di lavoro editoriale, che permetteranno di compiere un interessante percorso nella grafica, nelle tematiche e nei brand che ne hanno caratterizzato la storia e l’evoluzione.

Il messaggio è chiaro: a dispetto delle sue ricorrenti crisi politiche, la Città Eterna è ancora densa di eccellenze sul piano artistico e culturale, dalla scena più sotterranea ai grandi appuntamenti delle istituzioni culturali, dalla club-culture alla digital art.

Basti pensare alle realtà di cui, negli anni, ZERO è stato media-partner e hanno reso Roma una delle più interessanti capitali culturali sul piano internazionale: Dissonanze, Romaeuropa Festival, MAXXI - Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, MACRO – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Roma, Fotografia. Festival Internazionale di Roma, Short Theatre, Spring Attitude Festival, Thalassa, Unplugged In Monti, Manifesto, Rome Psych Fest, Villa Ada Roma Incontra il Mondo, Baba Festival, Taste of Roma, This Is Food, Meet In Town, C(h)orde, LSWHR, Villa Aperta c/o Villa Medici: Accademia di Francia a Roma , Electric Campfire c/o Accademia Tedesca Roma Villa Massimo, Open House Roma, Operativa Arte Contemporanea, This Is Rome, Gemma, LPM, Goa Club, Brancaleone, Rashomon Club, Circolo degli Artisti, Monk Club, Live Cinema Festival, Live Performers Meeting, Wunderkammern Gallery, Outdoor, Walls, Isola del Cinema, La Francia in Scena, Ginnika, Centro Cultural Brasil-Itália, RO_map e tanti altri ancora.. È Roma la culla italiana della migliore scena di musica elettronica. Ed è da Roma, prima ancora che da qualsiasi altra città italiana, che passano i grandi protagonisti internazionali del teatro e della danza contemporanea, senza dimenticare le mostre in luoghi ormai simbolo come il MAXXI o la musica classica e contemporanea che ha trovato la sua dimora all'interno dell'Auditorium Parco della Musica di Renzo Piano.

Un processo vitale che sembra aumentare sempre e non avere fine, ancora più significativo oggi in questo momento di transizione che la città sta vivendo, in cui, nonostante le inevitabili difficoltà, è viva più che mai la ricerca, la sperimentazione, la qualità dei progetti, la trasversalità dei linguaggi e la simbiosi sempre più forte fra rinascita culturale e la vivacità del life-style. Dai locali di tendenza alle istituzioni culturali, dalle osterie contemporanee agli speakeasy, una nuova generazione di protagonisti della urban culture, guidata da una forte tensione verso l’innovazione e uno sguardo rivolto alle migliori esperienze internazionali, sta diventando garanzia per una ritrovata fiducia nel futuro della Capitale.

Una ricorrenza e una città che dunque vanno festeggiate in grande, all’insegna di quel valore di cui ZERO ha sempre portato alto la bandiera: #divertirsiègiusto. Perché ZERO è quella rivista che ogni ora di ogni giorno di ogni mese spedisce fuori casa oltre mezzo milione di giovani in Italia. Non tutto il mezzo milione torna a casa la sera stessa. Ma dovunque stiano divertendosi, ZERO c’è.

***

Era l’ottobre del 1996 quando Andrea Amichetti diede alle stampe ZER02, il primo freepress tascabile italiano che nasceva con l’intento di mandare a divertire i suoi lettori nel miglior modo possibile. Dalla natìa Milano, 2 anni dopo, ZERO partì alla conquista della Capitale e da allora non ha mai smesso di espandersi, arrivando a conquistare il pubblico di Bologna, Torino, Firenze, Napoli, Venezia, Zurigo e Istanbul.

Gli anni sono passati senza danneggiarla o renderla obsoleta, anzi, confermando sempre di più ZERO come la miglior guida – cartacea e online – per vivere appieno la città, grazie ai suoi contenuti ricchi e variegati: concerti, spettacoli, arte, food, tendenze e personaggi che disegnano il panorama sociale e culturale cittadino. Edizioni ZERO oggi conta una community di 500.000 persone che lo rende il più importante database di informazioni italiano nel settore dell’intrattenimento e della cultura, con oltre 5.500 articoli e 20.000 news su eventi (musica, arte, clubbing, cinema, design, sagre, festival) e luoghi (ristoranti, bar, gallerie, teatri, negozi).

Miu stares at the small tree sapling that she receives after her entry, as she walks around to look for any spot to plant the tree. Traveler’s Garden is...not as crowded in comparison to other places during this festival. However, people are still around, people who are happy to contribute for the good of Earth.

Though, if Miu was asked whether or not she cared about the good of Earth, she would answer that she did not know. She comes here to relax by herself. And then the volunteer gave her this small tree sapling for her to plant anywhere at the area, thanking her for her contribution to save Earth. Thankfully, they did not ask whether or not she actually cared.

She averts her eyes from the small tree on her hand, as she approaches a vacant area for her to plant her tree. Someone is there, busy planting the small tree.

“Um...” Miu asks. “Do you mind if I plant my tree near your tree...?”

Her eyes are glued to the fireworks show at the evening sky. Or, rather, she is just gazing at the fireworks--her mind is actually wandering somewhere and she is definitely not thinking about how beautiful the fireworks are.

Come to think of it, Miu has never properly seen fireworks in her life. Most of the time, she is too busy at work or too distracted to notice. Only a slight glance that she spares before she goes off to do something else.

But now that she has a time to relax and watch the fireworks party, with variety of colors and lights, Miu is reminded at how the lights at the concert stage feels like. Bright, full of light everywhere, overwhelming, but also a beautiful sight.

She is not sure if she misses being an idol or anything. It is just how the colorful fireworks remind her of the sensation being on the stage, singing her heart out to the audience as best as she can, along with her friends.

Miu lets out a sigh, and she just notices that the empty space beside her has now been occupied by someone else, much to startle her.

“Oh...um...” Miu lowers her head, feeling embarrassed. “I-I’m sorry... I just realized that someone else is here...”

From their last meeting, Miu considers the other to be a very serious fellow who has her mind focused on her purpose to get out from this city. She does not seem to want to spend any time at anything that does not significantly contribute into her purpose. That is the impression that Miu understands from the other woman.

From the distance, Miu recognizes her. There she is, seems to walk around people who are currently enjoying the fireworks. She stands up, and reflexively approaches the other...

...only to stop in midway. Well, their last meeting is nowhere meaningful, and Miu remembers how Miu is unable to assist her in giving information that she needs. Miu finds herself staring at her from distance, hoping that the other will not recognize her.

Miu’s purpose to spend the evening watching fireworks surely has sidetracked quite a bit now.

Miu stares at the clay pot that she receives from the Horticulture Dome that she visits. She does not really know what just happened there. The representative said something about the plant that suits her personality, and now they gave her the seed of it, planted in a clay pot, as they told her to take care of it.

Miu does not remember if her house has any particular place that she can use to take care of this plant--whatever it is. But now, she feels responsible and she has to take care of it. After all, the representative said that the plant suits her best more than anything else.

As Miu continues to stare at the small, clay pot where it is planted, she is startled as someone walks nearby, holding the similar-looking clay pot with him. She wonders...if he also has the same plant like her?

“U-Um...” She calls out to the other, even though her voice is low. “I-Is that...from the dome too?” She points to the small pot that he is also holding with him.
