I eagerly await my next trip ,wandering through the streets and quite spots of this land you choose to be your land. Observing the talents of these people, who after all are a part of all men, you cannot help but see that they have developed a love of culture , their fashions,arts and the hearts expressions with music and song. grazie mio cugino
