Flavius Vegetius Renatus famously stated, “Si vis pacem, para vellum” or “If you want peace, prepare for war.” What he failed to mention is that there are and will always be wars to be fought.

It’s here that she still lives, as she tells, in a small loft in an ancient building which she could have never afforded in Milan. “From her window-she’s proud to add- she can even see the sea”.

Devo ammetterlo: quando finalmente ho avuto il piacere di conoscerli (virtualmente), ho pensato che Sandro e Giuseppe avrebbero dovuto cimentarsi anche in un pò di sano cabaret, oltre che nel fare musica.
