🎼25 January. Today the City of Florence, #Italy has decided to build and dedicate a statue to Narciso Parigi, one of the most prominent singers of the Italian era of "stornellatori" (1940s -1950s).
#NarcisoParigi passed away in #Florence on 25 January 2020, aged 93. His name will be forever bound to the 2 most beautiful Art Cities, Venice and Florence!
As concerns Venice, Narciso interpreted one of the most known 1900 songs about the city, "Venezia La Luna e Tu" (written in 1939 by A.Derevitsky - L.Martelli).
As concerns Florence he is the singer, among the many songs about his city, of the official hymn of local Fiorentina football team ⚽️, "O Fiorentina" (I post it in the Chat Room👇)

📜25 January 1348
A big "terremoto" (earthquake) probably the most devastating in #VeniceHistory, hits the city and all North East #Italy.
The earthquake caused 10 consecutive days of Acqua Granda (flood) and accelerated the spread of the "Peste Nera" (Black Plague).
Venice, at the time inhabited by 100.000 people lost 3 quarters of its population that year! 😱
The 25th of January became known for centuries among Venetians as “San Paolo del terremoto” (after the Saint of the day).

From a local chronicle in those days:
“Fu così grande che scorlò tutta la città in modo tale che le campane sonavano da per loro, et caderono in terra i campanili di S. Silvestro, S. Vidal, S. Giacomo dall’Orio, S. Anzolo et la fazzada della chiesa di S. Basilio. Durò diese giorni continui e tutto il popolo stava con grandissimo spavento”.

Alice In Chains
📀 Jar Of Flies
#Grunge #AlternativeRock #AcousticRock

30 years ago Alice In Chains from Seattle, #USA, released their 3rd overall and 2nd acoustic EP (my cassette in #VeniceRocksRoom☝️).

It's difficult for me to attribute a music genre to this work, probably since Jar Of Flies is one of my all time favorites❤️‍🔥
The highest peak in #AliceInChains discography IMHO with #vocalist Layne Staley and #guitarist, primary songwriter Jerry Cantrell at unbelievable levels.

Every song is a gem that closes and encloses those unrepeatable years for Rock music. Perfection🤘
