📜📝🎼2 July 1961.

"Tutti mi chiamano bionda, ma bionda io non sono: porto i capelli neri, neri come el carbon". #2July

Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest writers and novelists of XX century, sings these words in Italian to his wife Mary before going to bed in their house in Ketchum, Idaho, USA.
He learned this song (which is a rendition of an ancient Venetian - Istrian popular chant, "La Mula de Parenzo") in Cortina d'Ampezzo - #Dolomites (see 📸☝️), his favorite place in Italy along with Venice, where he traveled for many years and will be forever tied to.

On that night of 60 years ago, after singing these words, #Hemingway decided to take his own life...
More about his love story with Venice and #Cortina and his influence and legacy in the Chat Room👇

🎼 "A hymn to you before we drink,
to #Amsterdam and #Hemingway,
to #Piedmont and Diego Armando!
Remember, this life is female,
and it must be fully lived".
