🎼12 October 1935. Luciano Pavarotti was born in Modena, #EmiliaRomagna, #Italy.
Having worked in travel industry for decades I can clearly identify the symbols of my country, what Italy IS in the "collective soul" of travellers: food, art, fashion, historical cities, amazing landscapes, #DolceVita, #Ferrari, #Pavarotti...
Pavarotti was one of the best tenors in opera history, but undoubtedly the most famous around the world, having crossed over into popular music the late part of his career, eventually becoming one of the most acclaimed and loved tenors of all time!!!💪🏻🔝
Here's "his" Nessun dorma in the legendary Central Park performance, maybe the one aria which whoever is singing it, we all immediately associate and personify with Luciano Pavarotti.👇

🎥12 October 2001. Dolomites in Movie Series.
20 years ago Vajont, an Italian disaster film directed by Renzo Martinelli was released. The film is about one of the biggest tragedies in history caused by man in his constant nature rape...
Longarone a small town at the #Dolomites feet was completely cancelled (and more than 2000 people died) on 9 October 1963, by a tremendous water flood caused by a mountain collapsing on an artificial lake. But the primal and only responsability of the desaster was on those who decided to build the Vajont Dam where everyone knew they shouldn't: so public and private companies and ultimately the State were to blame! After the tragedy, as often happens, all main responsibilities were hidden under tons of bureaucracy and a shameful veil of silence...
I will write and post about the whole story in future, perhaps on the 60th anniversary of this tragedy. The #VajontDam is still there today, as it is the Monte Toc (the piece of mountain collapsed inside the lake), overwhelming and clearly visible from the town of Longarone, which has been rebuilt. Going over there and visiting the place in silence is one of the most shivering experiences...

📌12 October 1993

Timoria
📀 Viaggio Senza Vento
#Rock #HardRock #AlternativeRock

30 years ago Timoria from #Brescia, #Italy released their 4th studio album.

A concept album about the dramatic life journey of a local boy and his final resilience, Viaggio Senza Vento is undoubtedly one of the best albums in Italian Rock history🤘

I chose it as "album of the year" because it meant a lot to me and to many rockers in their 20s who lived in #Lombardy in those years.
I personally knew #Timoria guys and spent my summer 1994 following them on tour across the region.
Those were the days ❤️‍🔥
