. It’s dignity, it’s priority, it’s freedom: opportunities that can polish a sense of life, a mean of personal fulfillment and social contribution… work, when ethically healthy and not alienated, is a key feature of the human being. Happy May 1st, I wish a good rest day to those who have a job, and a good work day to those who are forced to rest. . . È dignità, è priorità, è libertà: opportunità in grado di tornire di senso una vita, mezzo di realizzazione personale e di contributo sociale… Il lavoro, quando eticamente sano e non alienato, è cifra dell’essere umano. Buon 1° maggio, buon riposo a chi ha un lavoro, buon lavoro a chi è a forzato riposo. . – Andrea . #May1st #1maggio

. The more man listens, the less he speaks. The more he stays silent, the more things he has to say. The less he says, the more time he has to assimilate new things, to ponder over them and evaluate them as being still to transient, inexact and inadequate, to be spoken as words. . – Andrea

L'uomo, più ascolta, meno parla; più se ne sta in silenzio, più sono le cose che avrebbe da dire. Meno ne dice, più tempo gli rimane per apprenderne di nuove, per ponderarle e stimarle ancora troppo provvisorie, inesatte, inadeguate, per essere spese in forma di parole. . – Andrea . . ph: Lorenzo Montanelli

. Fall on me, with open arms… Every second of every day of every year, you have been a gift, a wonderful priority. You have been and are still – together with Amos and Virginia – my main reason for existing in the world. Today you turn 21. Today you are a young man. With a sense of satisfaction that cannot be put into words, with a sense of apprehension that cannot be expressed with words – as today you have also chosen to measure yourself against the voice of your soul and pursue the art of sound – it is an unexpected and additional gift to be with you on stage and to harmonize our voices in a single, enveloping melody. Every time. Fall on me, with open arms, Matteo. . . Fall on me, with open arms… Ogni attimo di ogni giorno di ogni anno sei stato un regalo, una meravigliosa priorità; sei stato e sei, insieme ad Amos e Virginia, la mia prima ragione per essere al mondo. Oggi sono ventuno, oggi sei un giovane uomo. Con una soddisfazione che non si può raccontare, con una trepidazione che non si può raccontare, oggi che hai scelto anche tu di misurarti con la voce dell’anima e di corteggiare l'arte dei suoni, è un dono inatteso e ulteriore, poterti essere accanto sul palco, e fondere le voci in un unico abbraccio. Ogni volta. Fall on me, with open arms, Matteo. . @matteobocelli
