Now the time has come to talk about Japan Days, the Roman event that I attended on Sunday 20 October and which was truly beautiful.
I had been missing from the capital for over sixteen years, where I had gone to be a tourist: here I saw a different but no less interesting Rome.
In the meantime, thank you, thank you, thank you: to Silvia Casini, organizer of the event, with whom I spoke about Candy, to the Jugglers of the Stars, to Eleonora and Salvatore for their hospitality, to Clara Serina, my roommate, to all the friends who I met Gina Score, Manuela Mancini, Franco Verardi and many others, thanks to Swimmila for the splendid evening together and for introducing me to her splendid cats, thanks to Alessandro, my very young reader, who wanted to have a photo taken with me because it has all my books, to the small, splendid budding Oscars, and obviously to the three legendary Cinzia de Carolis, Massimo Rossi and Luciano Roffi.
Events like this warm your heart and make you understand that you have done something good in life. Seeing passion and gratitude in the eyes of others is incredible, hearing Cinzia asking me When will we see each other again? it’s an endless emotion, feeling at home is unique. I would like to quote a phrase that I found in a very beautiful book, which has nothing directly to do with Oscar, and which I read during the outward journey, the collection of short stories On the moor with Emily Bronte: In my life I have had dreams that have remained with me forever, and have transformed the way I think. They became part of me, like wine when it mixes with water, and changed the color of my thoughts. This is what Oscar was and is for me.
And now, my photos!!!
