👉🏼 Deeply moved and honored to have taken part in such a beautiful graduation ceremony today.

Being surrounded by young people so passionate, committed, curious, and eager to learn reminded me of something important: the future is not lost.

👉🏼 In a world that often feels louder, harsher, and increasingly superficial, I continue to find hope in younger generations.
I see students who still work hard, think deeply, ask questions, and truly care about culture, knowledge, and becoming better human beings.

And every time I meet them, I remember that real change has always started there: with young people brave enough not to become indifferent.

👉🏼 Today, more than anything, I felt grateful.
Grateful to teach.
Grateful to listen.
And grateful to witness the strength of a new generation that, despite everything, still has the power to rebuild humanity with culture, empathy, and knowledge

Gelato in one hand, wine in the other. Art in the window, local food on the table.
Am I the masterpiece? Probably.

✈️ The more I journey across the world, the more I witness an exponential decrease in judgment. This shift grants people a freedom of expression that far surpasses what I encounter in Italy.
🤸🏻🤼‍♀️ I see groups of women who, by our standards, would be deemed elderly, sharing a beer together 🍺, unconcerned with pleasing anyone.
Men and women alike frolic on the beach 🏖, unburdened by age, as if they were children once more.
In the absence of judgment, the boundaries between young and old, male and female, geographical provenance, body shapes, blur and fade away. What emerges from this is a simplicity, a genuineness, and a happiness in people that is undeniable.☀️
There is much we should learn from this—if ever we manage to do so. 🙆🏻‍♀️

Il punto è questo, vediamo se mi spiego: Firenze è una città con strade intricate e strette, il cui tessuto urbano è prevalentemente medievale. L’equilibrio di un luogo del genere è assai delicato e quindi, al di là delle molte polemiche, è necessario proteggerlo fermando l’ingresso indiscriminato e continuo di auto.
Per mancanza di rispetto, conoscenza della città, comprensione dei cartelli stradali e forse anche a causa delle errate indicazioni dei navigatori, molte si muovono per il centro in maniera scriteriata, mettendo spesso a serio a rischio la bellezza di questa città.
Il suv con targa nord europea qui nelle foto, ha ‘fatto’ due contromano in meno di due minuti (via Romana e piazza Pitti) aggiungendo alla prodezza una sonora botta con il paraurti posteriore sull’angolo di uno dei palazzi storici di piazza San Felice.
