Buon compleanno Roma

LA RECENSIONE

The Natale di Roma, formerly known as Dies Romana, is a secular holiday associated with the founding of the city of Rome, celebrated on April 21.
According to legend, also recounted by Varro, Romulus founded the city of Rome on April 21, 753 BC.
This year will be a somewhat special birthday, different from usual, as Mayor Virginia Raggi also notes, and how could she not.
There is fear, restriction, death, so much death, sacrifice, newscasts as our only friends, mayors in chaos, isolated citizens, military at work, dying nurses on the front line, doctors saving lives but not their own, pharmacies turned into moral support points, lacking hospital beds, ambulances unable to cover the territory, coffins, masks and disinfectants all gone, diesel at 1.236, gasoline at 1.339.
But despite everything, life goes on, and today Rome turns 2773 years old, a grandmother who continues to have her say.
A grandmother who, along with her older and more affected grandchildren: Milan, Bergamo, Brescia, Turin, Naples, will overcome even this difficult moment.
"ROMA, AMOR" an intense declaration of love for the eternal city by maestro Amedeo Minghi, featuring a choir, the reciting voice of actress Marisa Merlini who appears on the album cover "i ricordi del cuore," seated on the steps of Piazza di Spagna next to Amedeo and inevitably lots and lots of melodrama.
From the song: Te ne 'mporta assai de mè,
E io m'accoro assai pe 'ttè.
Te sto appresso, e tu?
Ma che guardi, ndo' te perdi tu?
Che butti er core un pò de qquà,
E 'n pò de là, a che pensi?
A te, te 'mporta assai de 'me
Che m'addoloro assai pe 'ttè.
Sai so' storie vere
Solo quelle 'ndove toppa er core,
E sbatte l'ali e tu me pari matta e scordarella..
Che sei bella Roma
