  • 🇺🇸“I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.”⁠⠀ ― José Saramago, Blindness.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ For our weekly appointment with my virtual book club #tsundokutogether, today, I want to share my most recent read by Nobel-prize winner, José Saramago. ⁠⠀ A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" that spares no one. The blind are confined to an empty mental hospital by the authorities but there the deep nature of the human being comes out and at its worst. There is only one person who can still see the horror and guides a small group of people to survive. "Blindness" is a terrifying and apocalyptic tale of what could happen if the worst of us could come out as well as a powerful vision of human nature. Highly recommended (for strong stomachs), especially in this global pandemic.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can get your own copy via the link in my bio @the_storyteller.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🇮🇹"Abbiamo tutti i nostri momenti di debolezza, per fortuna siamo ancora capaci di piangere, il pianto spesse volte è una salvezza, ci sono circostanze in cui moriremmo se non piangessimo. Cecità è vivere in un mondo dove non vi sia più speranza. Com'è fragile la vita, se la si abbandona."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In questa quarantena forzata, per il mio bookclub settimanale #tsundokutogether, vi consiglio una lettura brutale e sconvolgente. Cecità del premio Nobel Saramago vi lascerà con uno stomaco ribaltato, ma anche con tanti interrogativi sulla natura umana e su cosa effettivamente potrebbe succedere in una situazione così apocalittica. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Andrà Tutto bene. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Vi abbraccio, ⁠⠀ Sabrina⁠⠀ @the_storyteller⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #covid-19 #coronavirus #iorestoacasa #restiamoacasa #andràtuttobene #saramago #josesaramago #cecità #blindness
  • “Thick darkness has gathered over our squares, our streets and our cities; it has taken over our lives, filling everything with a deafening silence and a distressing void. We find ourselves afraid and lost. But we all are on the same boat. And we are called to row together, each of us in need of each other”. Pope Francis #ubietorbi . This incredible video describes the beauty of my home country. I always had a love+hate relationship with #italy, but being here during this time has revealed many things about #Italians and #Italy. And maybe after 35 yrs it allowed me to make peace with it. I’ve watched it hundreds times already and I never get tired of it. Amazing video by @marcocaputofilms
  • (Archive photo • sept 2015) In these tough days, I’ve decided to do what I do best: travel. And take you all with me through my pictures. In my stories, you can take a journey from #Padova to #Turin and #Milan. Tomorrow we will head south to #Bologna, #Rome and down down to #Sicily. Passing by #Sardinia of course. As most of us are locked down in our houses, I guess that exploring new places would be a great balm to the soul. If you need tips for your upcoming holidays to Italy or have questions write them in the boxes in my stories. I’d be more than happy to help you plan your next #Italianholiday.

  • "Let the sea breeze blow your hair, let the sunset bring tranquillity to your heart, let the distant places you travel allow you to explore yourself.” ― Somya Kedia.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If you haven't read the first part of my Complete Travel Guide to Lanzarote, you should do it now via the link in my profile @the_storyteller. I've included all the essentials, my favourite places and things to do on the island as well as my favourite dishes and restaurants.⠀ ⁠⠀ These gorgeous pictures were taken by the lovely duo @onlaurens. If you are in Lanzarote and wish to get some artistic, professional pictures taken, get in touch with them. For once, I was really pleased to accept the offer of being photographed. From behind and out of focus 😜, of course. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ------------⁠⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #ad @Jet2pics #Jet2lanzarote ⁠⠀
