This is what the London's trip taught me Traveling is the most beautiful opportunity you could have ever. During traveling you grow up, you change, you suffer and love. Staying in an other country, knowing a new culture, new people, learning an other language.. all of those things open your mind and they let you realize that all your thoughts could be questioned. Don't close your self. Learn from other people, also the cruel ones, they will teach you more then the others. Thank them, because is in the suffering you can see your defects, in the suffering you can widen your limits. During the travel love, because you don't love just sometimes. Loving is a perpetual condition, it is the very essence of travel, it is your essence. Don't think to catch what you would like to have by force because just when you exact you can't obtain. Enjoy what the life has to offer you, enjoy any moment like it would be the last. Enjoy the life's essence and thank it everyday because you can eat its fruits whether they are mature or unripe. Don't be afraid to change your mind, it isn't a bad thing because you are a continuos changing and you shouldn't let other say who you are, choose for your self. Be brave to live the travel, be brave to live the essence of the life. Don't let live you, chose and be aware to live.

Origami animation The project is an idea realized in 2012 for my first animation exam in Bilbao (Spain) during Erasums. The idea is based on the ORIGAMI art. Using just thousand squared sheets of paper I would create abstract animation to comunicate a magic feeling. An unknown force moves these origami structures creating shapes, gentle movements and colour pictures following the background music. In fact the role of the music is significant. The movements follow the sound, the rhytm marks the sequence. Origamis are usually still and I liked the idea to animate something I've always seen motionless.

Toppi, my favorite illustrator Here I would write the thinking of one of my favorite illustrators. I visited an exhibition in Perugia of his art-works and I was so inspired from his drawings and his writings that I can't do without talk about him.When I went in I read his though from a poster and I felt the urgency to translate this for who can't speak italian. This is the text: When the drawing is what we do to live it's natural to think to don't have any free time. /OR /When the drawing is our job it's natural to think that we don't have free time. While I draw my ideas on the paper I realize that the time is not enough. My job is a challenging job and it totally absorbs me but it's always crucial to face with the same pleasure on the different levels of difficulty. Some pictures born for passion, other for obligation but the spirit of a professional drawer has to be constantly powered with the same pleasure of expression, a pleasure that sometimes verges on physical feeling, in the use of rewarding techniques, in the experimentation of new supports or colours. When we draw we need to do it for our self basically, then for the person who their opinion is important for us, the end for everything represents, in addition to the gain, a professional feedback. We recognize in any case the privilege to be paid for what we create, because the objective confirmation of own ideas is one of the most beautiful things of life. Italian version: Quando il disegno è ciò che si fa per vivere, viene spontaneo pensare di non avere mai tempo libero. Mentre traccio le mie idee sulla carta, mi accorgo che il tempo non mi basta mai. Il mio è un lavoro impegnativo, che assorbe totalmente, ma che è fondamentale affrontare sempre con lo stesso piacere, nei diversi gradi di difficoltà. Alcune immagini nascono per passione, altre per obbligo, ma lo spirito di un disegnatore professionale dev'essere costantemente alimentato dal piacere di esprimersi, un piacere che talvolta rasenta sensazioni fisiche, nell'utilizzo di tecniche gratificanti, nella sperimentazione di nuovi supporti o colori. Quando si disegna, occorre farlo principalmente per noi stessi, poi per le persone la cui opinione è per noi importante, in fine per tutto ciò che, oltre al denaro, rappresenta un riscontro professionale. Riconosciamo, in ogni caso, il privilegio di essere pagati per ciò che si crea, perchè il riscontro oggettivo delle proprie idee è una delle cose più belle della vita.

Does the verb "upset" just a bad meaning? I ask this question because in italian sometimes is translated as "sconvolto, sbaragliato" and these words don't mean necessary a bad meaning. Is the same in English? I sometimes wrote this word to a friend of mine and he understood an other thing, something like angry.

Benvenuto, from the story of Diana Wynne Jones "Magicians of Caprona" PART 2 Right over the nose of Benvenuto three white stains stand out giving him a furtive and suspicious air. But the stains haven't nothing to do with his position as Casa Montana's cat-chief. They were the result of his passion of steacks. He was finished between aunty Gina's feet while she was cooking and some hot oil had dropped in his head. Since that moment Benvenuto and aunty Gina ignore each other with the major effort. From the italian version: Giusto sopra il naso di Benvenuto spiccavano tre macchie bianche che gli conferivano un'aria furtiva ed equivoca. Le macchie, però, non avevano niente a che fare con la sua posizione da capo gatto di Casa Montana. Erano il risultato della sua passione per le bistecche. Era finito fra i piedi di zia Gina mentre lei stava cucinando, e un pò d'olio caldo gli era caduto sulla testa. D allora, Benvento e zia Gina s'ignoravano con il massimo impegno.

How can I say in english "dentellato come un agrifoglio"? I translated this phrase in this way: "indented like a holy" maybe is better "notched"? What the author means is that the eras of a cat are irregular and bitten because of countless battles with others cats. In fact the contest which is the phrase is located is: "He wasn't what we would can call a lovely cat. His head was strangely big and flat, covered by rough grayish stains, souvenir of countless battles. And (other memory of the same battles) the ears were bent forward on its forehead like ragged brown hood: a hundred bites made it INDENTED LIKE A HOLY".
