Buona notte Arezzo. La camminata a casa. Buona notte Arezzo. La camminata a casa.
Last night: a festa paesana near Capolona, with a Last night: a festa paesana near Capolona, with a beautiful ancient pieve, sizzling bistecca, long tables, live music, and dancing under the Tuscan sky. 🇮🇹

Loud. Crazy. Noisy. Wonderful.

Children running between tables, nonni on the dance floor, conversations flying in every direction, and everyone happily eating, laughing, singing, and dancing.

This is Italy at its best: chaotic, generous, joyful, and completely unforgettable. ❤️

A powerful day at Rondine Cittadella della Pace. 🕊 A powerful day at Rondine Cittadella della Pace. 🕊️

Today I had the privilege of listening to Angela Terzani Staude, writer, traveler, and the wife of the late journalist and author Tiziano Terzani.

With grace, wisdom, and a lifetime of experience behind her words, she spoke about dialogue, understanding, and the importance of remaining curious about people whose lives, cultures, and beliefs differ from our own.

One thought that stayed with me was the idea that peace is not something abstract or reserved for governments and politicians. It begins in our daily lives, in our willingness to listen, to question our assumptions, and to recognize the humanity in others.

In a world that often encourages division and certainty, Angela reminded us of the value of humility, empathy, and genuine human connection.

As someone who loves languages, travel, and cultural exchange, I left inspired by the belief that every conversation has the potential to build a bridge.

Thank you, Rondine, for creating a space where dialogue is still considered a powerful act of hope. ❤️

Apro la finestra e trovo la Fiera Antiquaria proprio sotto casa. Mi preparo un espresso, scendo in strada e vado a caccia di tesori... sperando di trovarne almeno uno. O magari due! 😂
