Running-wise I had a very fruitful August.. First came Murakami with his inspiring book about running, then Tozama forced me and Sara to follow his athletic schedule during the Greece vacation (we founded the “Khalkidiki Running Team”!), finally came the new Nike+ Human Race appointment and a medical approval for running to my wife’s knees.

Alonissos

With unforgivable delay (let me tell you: WordPress app for iPhone really sucks!) I’m here to post some pics about the last 4 days of our vacation.
We left Chanioti, got back to Thessaloniki and got a fast ferry for Alonissos island, in the Sporades archipelagus.
We’ve been hosted by the kindest person in the world Mihalis [...]
So long Chanioti, and thanks for all the fish

After the Safran Foer Odissey I was getting a little numb about the outside world, so Sara and the Tozamas convinced me to go out with them, Rosita’s mother, Rosita’s sister Natalia and her boyfriend Davide on their mother’s boat for some old style fishing. I have to admit I was not that interested at [...]
Retsina and Running

Running is an old friend of mine, now getting back the center stage of my holiday agenda, thanks either to Tozama (“in Greece we’ll go for a run everyday!” and you know Tozama when he makes up his mind..) and this little funny book from Haruki Murakami, who put down in words his thoughts about [...]
In the Calcidic peninsula
Posted in The people of my world, The places of my world, tagged Sara, tozama, rosita, greece on August 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Now that’s what I call an ideal schedule: wake up at 10am, quick coffee and cake, then 45 min running with Sara and Tozama, while Rosita plays the viola at our small, lovely apartment in Moudania, in the Calcidic peninsula.. Then we take a bath in the sea (really enjoyable after running), we go uptown [...]

End of the year in Fanano

We spent three wonderful days in Fanano, having great fun through skiing, snow, sun, ice, lots of good food, Machiavelli card matches, good propositions and rivers of Champagne. The team was made by me and Sara, Neraz, Elena, Tommy and Rosita, Vecio and Lucrezia. We will come again. Happy 2009!
Danger night

Every now and then my longtime friend Neraz comes to Bologna and it’s automatically DANGER time! Usually we meet at Tozamas and we have to forget about sleep, (mental) health and diets.. Tonight it was one of those nights, this time also with Elena, Valentina and Silvia… Two special mentions: one for Floriano Cinti wines, [...]
The Tennis Twins’ birthday
Posted in The people of my world, tagged tozama, troilo on October 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Tozama and Troilus play tennis together and celebrate birthday together.. They have the same interest in photography and nuisance to innocent people.. So I thought it could be great to gift them with the same present: a faggy Lee shirt. Here you find all the invited friends with Giordano’s shoe on our head… Why? I [...]
Pratello kerfuffle
Posted in The people of my world, tagged tozama, Pratello on October 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
While Sara was at home studying we got together with Tozama, Rosita, Manelli brothers, Giova and Enza hanging around Pratello. At Punto I met also Vera (who just got a tattoo) and Tommi Dvd.. Total kerfuffle night, like the ones with Neraz..
Risotto Contest

Yesterday night we participated to a risotto contest at Zanoccos. Our competitors were Tozama (risotto tamugno with eggs, zafferano and sausages), Robby Manelli (exotic risotto with zucchine, radicchio and garlic). We won with a simple but tasty risotto with verza and sausages. The final prize was an ugly vodka with vanilla taste. Yeah!
We love Little Britain

Tozama said “Yeah But No But Yeah But No..” referring to Eva’s question: “Can I write in Italian on this blog?”… And I simply want to remark that we love Little Britain!!

A marriage in Trentino

After 2 days from the marriage in Naples we went to Lake of Tovel in Val di Non, Trentino, for another wedding party. This time both me and Sara knew the couple, Gianni and Cinzia. We had great fun, with an inspiring group of friends, inside a marvellous spot. By the way, he’s a great [...]
My friend Tommi loves surf

We found this beautiful Taschen book about surf… perfect for a gift to say ‘thanx’ to Tommi and Rosita for their hospitality at Lake of Garda. Consider he’s a real surfer…
