Dreaming of piazza della Rotonda
Well, mama comes home and TELLS me all about the soprano and tenor who burst into song in the piazza where mama and papa sometimes have a glass of something whilst gazing at the perfection of the Pantheon.
But I would love to HEAR them! And mama says that if she knew how to put her video of the singers into this blog for me, she would do it subito (right now!).
And then there is the mime, who walks along behind people (even nuns and priests) and imitates them or he makes a halo out of a balloon and holds it over various heads and no one has any idea that he is doing it…hilarious. Children love him.
What’s so magical about this city is that you can be minding your own business at a little cafe, people-watching, relaxing after a day’s work, or just being a tourist, and all of a sudden these magnificent voices start singing an aria or a Bocelli trademark song and many, many people gather around to hear and for a lovely, special moment, everyone in the piazza is part of a whole, listening together in awe to uplifting music.
Mostly it just feels good.
Which, in these days, is a nice thing to feel, no?
Ahhh that sounds wondrous, LouLou. People watching and opera combined – the best!
Oh, it’s glorious, mama says, especially when the tenor comes, but the lady who sang the other night was pretty spectacular. Mama did not get a good video, but she will….they sing all over,
Hi, great post. I like your all posts.
We’re looking for some cat blogger to promote our cat tree, Would you like to review our cat tree in your blog??
What is your website_
Wow – Loulou – I just woke up and thought the headline was PIZZA and dove right in!! Put your Piazza sounds even more fun! Drinks and snacks and mimes and music and drinks and snacks…..and the beautiful view of the Parthenon lit up at night. Magical. I want to see the funny clown with the balloons – that has to be a hoot!!!!
Oh, he is something! If he saw ME in the piazza, heaven knows what he would do. I probably pop his balloon!
This sound like a place our Dad would love to visit. Maybe we can come with if you dont mind Loulou
I wish everyone could see its beauty. But mama has only shown me photos…sigh.
Well, the video in your link doesn’t play in this country but we popped over to Andrea Bocelli’s youtube page and listened to his duet with his son. Our favorite Bocelli song is the “Perfect” duet he sang with Red Sheeran. Love the blending of their voices. Thanks for the reminder.
Yes, we love Perfect!!!!
Somehow I saw the words “rotund” and “pizza” in this post. After careful reading, it is even more delightful !
Oh, you are TOO funny!!! You should meet Mya´s mama one day, haha. We laughed at breakfast over this comment!
The piazza sounds like an interesting place.
Every day is different!
Magic is good, we need more of it!
Yes, magic can do many good things to us in life.
