Un Mondo che non esiste più.

April month here in Siena.
April is a very rainy month here in
I love when is raining. It seems the Nature thanks the atmosphere. The water in fact washes trees, bushes, flowers and grass. I think every landscape is more beautiful when bathed by the rain.
Even pictures show an special light and fantastic colours….. as into a “dream”.
One more facilitation in my case, is that I don’t need to water my flowers and vegetable in my garden.
When outside is raining I like to cook some bread of biscuits.

When outside is raining I like to cook some bread of biscuits.
I don’t like fat or creamy. In fact yesterday I prepared some round shaped cookies, very easy, simple and healthy.
They are nice when to drink a cup of milk.
I mixed
- 1 glass of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 glass of fresh milk
- 200gr. Of white cane sugar
- A pitch of cinnamon
- ½ tea spoon of yeast
- As much as flour as requested.
I firstly mixed in a bowl the milk + oil + sugar. Then, I added the yeast and cinnamon. Finally I added the flour.
In order to mix all ingredients better, I put the dough into the bread machine and I selected the mixed program.
When the dough was ready I took small portions and I shaped them as a doughnut .
I put them into the oven at 180C° for 7 minutes in the bottom part and 7 minutes at 150 C° in the high part (I put a tray between the cookies and the grill, to avoid burning them.
Bon appétit !!

Yo voy soñando caminos

doradas, los verdes pinos,
las polvorientas encinas!..
¿Adónde el camino irá?
Non ho ombra di dubbio che Antonio Machado sia uno dei poeti più rappresentativi della storia della letteratura spagnola.
Don Antonio era, non ostante la sua creatività, non ostante la sua intelligenza e non ostante la sua cultura, dicevo che … era un uomo semplice.
Un uomo che sicuramente era felice osservando quanto la natura gli aveva donato. Nelle diverse fasi della sua vita, nei diversi posti dove visse: Andalusia, Madrid, Soria e altri, riuscì a cogliere quella bellezza che lo circondava.
La sua sensibilità fa un elogio alla Natura (con
L’autunno è la stagione che io preferisco. Le passeggiate in questo periodo dell’anno sono quasi un obbligo nei dintorni di Lischeto. Io non riesco a esprimere con i versi le sensazioni che

Antonio Machado is one of the most representative poets in
I believe that Don Antonio’s most important virtue was his simplicity: although his intelligence, although his culture, although his creativity, he had an elegant and simply soul.
I can imagine him while he was walking in the forests, in the fields, in the parks : what he saw, felt, breathed became a praise for the Nature.
I believe that his Elegance is in his simplicity.
