yesterday in the cellar I found my first Montarbo speaker !!
A "Trio Mosfet Amplifier"
now I still use a Montarbo speaker, twice as powerful..
only more manageable and lighter "L206"
for 60 years Montarbo has been the sound of Bologna!
(the two speakers)

a relaxing day on the beach with all the family..

14 May 25
historic day for a Bolognese guy!
I was born in Bologna and I have always supported BFC 1909!
I had never seen my team win.. before today..
finally we won the "Italian cup"!
thanks to a path began several years ago, by president Joey Saputo (The Man !),
who is leading this team in a great direction!
BFC1909 is coming back strong, as it once was!
Fantastic !!!
(me wondering which uniform I should have wear watching the game)

12 days have passed since the end of the Camino De Santiago.
strange, but still the fingers of the right hand are not back to 100%.. I can play "finger style", but not with the pick, the fingers of the right hand can't hold it still.
like every tour or undertaking, this one has also taught and reiterated clear concepts, already experienced, that sometimes it's nice to dust off or live again.. "despite the difficulties, if you commit yourself, you always get where you want to get to".
I am very happy to have had this experience with my wife and my 3 children.. a first start.. let's try to create a long series.
next time, I will try to focus on "playing" and less on the athletic challenge.. everything is designed for the music, but in this case, due to the very tight schedule, the weather and the injury to my fingers, I couldn't play.
everything is experience, life, emotion and stimulus.. the direction is right.. ad Maiora Semper !

It was tough.. but the first tour with all the family, fantastic !!!


22 April 25 - day 08 - Camino De Santiago - Portomarin
(ride strava statistics)
one of the best days, very cool & tough
Over the "O Cebreiro" pass 1335 meters..
The descent was beautiful, finally I had some fun..
there was sun, snow and a beautiful view..
The wind was there but it was not invasive..
6 hours on that saddle is not the best, but it was nice to feel what was around you..
The right hand can't wait to stop..
100 km to Santiago De Compostela


21 April 25 - day 07 - Camino De Santiago - Villafranca del Bierzo
(ride strava statistics)a - (ride strava statistics)b
1225 meters.. not bad.. little compared to the next few days..
Cold and still contrary wind.. I bought a season ticket..
more rain than sun.. and pedaling downhill..
My Father said.. you wanted the bicycle, pedal!

Happy Easter from the #caminodesantiago

19 April 25 - day 05 - Camino De Santiago - Sahagun
(ride strava statistics)
Flat ride with brilliant idea !
Another day with a strong wind against us.. so great idea from Gabriel (owner of the camping ground).. he drove with me to Sahagun and from there I cycled back.. same road, same km.. but with the wind in our favour.. and the kids & Maybritt stayed all day in the camping ground.. all to themselves.. the idea worked great!
Still not easy, but at least the wind was pro me !
(pictures of the day)


18 April 25 - day 04 - Camino De Santiago - Castrojeriz
(ride strava statisitcs)b - (ride straca statistics)a
Crazy day..
from hell to heaven..
from a storm on a mountain at 1150 meters to a camping a camping ground only for you (first time ever).
from a not being able to move my hand right fingers, to a crazy party coming back from a restaurant..
we are at 850 meters..
(pictures of the day)


17 April 25 - day 03 - Camino De Santiago - Villafranca-Montes De Oca
(ride strava statisitcs)b - (ride straca statistics)a
tough day, the wind is an asshole. cold, constant in your face, 20/25 km/h is changing eveything in super difficult.
93 km for 1188 ascent, today.
I'm losing sensitivity in my right hand, I can't move my fingers well anymore
(pictures of the day)


16 April 25 - day 02 - Camino De Santiago - Logroño
(ride strava statistics)
Today it was very tough, more than expected.
A strong cold wind on my face for 8 hours.
1517 meters ascent => crazy
a bike that is very heavy
I ran out of energy bars & tea so I stopped a Lidl to eat something.. for sure one of my toughest ride ever.. I still have lost sensation in a finger on my right hand..
(pictures of the day)


15 April 25 - day 01 - Camino De Santiago - Pamplona
(ride strava statistics)
First day of the Camino De Santiago
From Saint Jean De Port (France) to Pamplona (Spain).

Rainy & cold day, but happy to be back on the road after a long time.. and with my family around..

28 March 25
they say there's always a first time..
that it was a bad location, you could tell right away..
that there were some assholes and various drug dealers, even a blind person could see it.
anyway, while I was playing today (that was my schedule.. in one of the spots designated by the city hall), a guy, I imagine African and drunk, sits down next to me and wants me to make him sing..
obviously I tell him no..
the conversation quickly goes to another level, when he starts to offend my mother..
we come to blows..
in the center of Bologna..
only a woman, who was listening to me intervened against him, helping me..
3 men were watching close by, no one said anything..
when the guy left, other people arrived, asking how I was.. yes, when he had already left..
it had never happened to me in 16 years (among Canada and many European countries)..
what I see, hear and feel on the streets of Bologna is truly depressing..
a unique squalor..
it's way too far from the city I grew up in..


27 March 25

great !
after a long time I finally released the video of "Volo Via Con Te"
the shots in which Nicola Catelli (co-author of the song) writes the letter, that is the lyrics of the song, were made years ago, 2021.
the shots where I play the pianos in the Berlin mall, in 2024.
initially I had other ideas for the video, that somehow were not possible.. so we made it like this..
tell me what you think..
