These are the words to a romantic song dedicated to an immortal city….

What to say dear friends, we all have a city that represents us, mine is ROME. The great metropolis, the capital of the Roman Empire, a city that makes you dream.

I have been to Rome many times, and each time I fall in love with it more and more. With this post I will try to make you fall in love with the beautiful Rome too.

Another aspect of Rome is the wonderful landscape. In every corner you will find a piece of Roman history, from the Colosseum to the Trevi Fountain, which seem to be there forever. Every time you return to Rome, you will always find something new.

And what about the beauty of the illuminated monuments? Do we want to talk about that? Images that leave you breathless.

!!Warning!!

The next images can be dangerous to the palate, look with little caution, otherwise you risk being too hungry. Of course the last aspect to love of Rome is… the food. Roman cuisine is VERY heavy in a positive sense, very good dishes starting from the Supplì up to the Saltimbocca.

I don’t know about you, but I feel like going to Rome again. Who wants to come with me?

How many times have you happened to scroll on social media and read about people suffering from mental disorders?It has happened to me many times, and sometimes it was just me who needed to let off some steam.

I am a very sunny girl, who never appears sad or nervous, who always tends to make others feel good and never thinks about herself. I try to fix everything by listening or helping with small gestures, but no one has ever helped me.

In the last period, I don’t feel appreciated and this often leads me to lose my temper, to eat too much or little, and close myself off to everyone. Those few times that people are interested in me, I try to express myself, but everything vanishes quickly by moving on to the next text, the one of the girl who listens to others and who has no flaws.

I’m still in the middle of the tunnel, so I hope to be able to get out soon, because all this is making little Elena’s spark go out.

If you need to talk, you can contact me privately. (I hope this doesn’t happen) LIVE LIFE WITHOUT WORRIES!!

Surely as a child you will have practiced some sports: you had fun with your friends and you loved that sport, but now you no longer want to play sports.

Until recently I also practiced artistic gymnastics. In these 4 years I have learned to self-manage and integrate into my group. I had a lot of fun, the competitions were really fun. I was very good- I managed to get to the Nationals of Rimini and to finish first, becoming the Italian mini-trampoline champion. Unfortunately for me, however, I had to leave the sport because of a ligament injury.

Sport is very important for our mental health. Thanks to sport we develop important fundamental values: team play, independence, integration into the group, discipline and constancy.

Practicing a sport is essential to live better. For this, it must be practiced every day even by taking a short walk.

I recommend you dear reader friends, DO SPORT!!!

Since I was a child I have always been passionate about films, always varying genres. Between fantasy and thriller, romantic and adventure, but of all the ones I’ve seen, the MOVIE that wins the biggest prize is (drum roll)… The In-Between.

The movie tells an usual American love story, but with one difference, one of the characters comes from the afterlife.

Tessa is a girl who had a difficult childhood and adolescence, so much so that she never thought about love. One day she meets Skylar, a boy with a very nice and decidedly romantic character. Tessa will begin to let go of her feelings, experiencing emotions she had never known. When everything seems to be going well, fate keeps the two young lovers together much more: they are involved in an accident, where, Skylar will not make it, and what will happen to Tessa?….

While watching the film, I identified with the protagonist, Tessa, who feels emptiness, since I have lost a person dear to me too, but let’s not get depressed. In the end the film has a really good message, but that’s up to you to figure it out.…

30 years ago today, there was the assassination of one of the most important magistrates in Italy, Giovanni Falcone. But let’s take a step back, Why was he killed? He was fighting against the mafia, together with a judge, Paolo Borsellino, who died after a few months.

Their lives intertwined many times: at school, in the village and at university until they ended up working together. They fought against the mafia for their whole lives, risking death every day. But the mafia is difficult to stop, even though many have tried to stop it.

But what is the mafia? The mafia is a criminal organization which has developed all over the world. What interests the mafia is economic power: money they manage to obtain thanks to the trafficking of weapons, people and drugs; doing business with politicians to obtain favours in exchange for votes or through money that the mafia expects from shopkeepers in exchange for protection.

Falcone and Borsellino went against mafia, and in some cases, they even had to hide. Many other people like Peppino Impastato and Piersanti Mattarella fought against the mafia, risking their lives.

I would not know what to do against the mafia, but if I could ever do something against the mafia, I would be proud of myself.
