General Relativity is Revelation
Quantum Theory is like a fantasy fable and is a team play, yes, but General Relativity is from a single mind and is…Revelation. Revelation like seeing the Matrix, the missing new dimension, redesigning the appearance of the World… a bit like the effect Pulp Fiction made to Jeff Bridges: “it’s almost like an etch-a-sketch, you know, it just takes everything and just cleans it all off and you start, you know, fresh”
Kulinarische Leidenschaft
During the winter months, I am improving my cooking skills to a higher level. And having fun with it.
One of my inspirations and guides is certainly Casa Pappagallo.
The amazing kids
It was supposed to be in Berlin, but also here it is a lovely week with Diego and Wanda… my amazing kids.
And a couple of weeks ago, talking with your school teachers and listening how cool you are with everything you do, was such an emotion, such a joy that you gave to me. When you will read this Wanda, Diego, if you will read this note one day… well these are one of those moments… Thank you my kids. Beautiful you are.

After the overwhelming season 22/23, this year SSC Napoli is not performing well. Watching the games is not fun at the moment.
But I’m with the president ADL, for sure in my view he’s not the one to blame for this situation. Maybe there’s none to blame actually but, opposite to the current mainstream thought, I’m still with ADL and I prefer a president like him to many other situations.
Cheerleader Wanda
Congratulations to my sweet little girl for her first public public cheerleader show at Stadthalle Herrenberg, on Sunday 28 January 2024.
You are beautiful and cool Wanda.
I am your first fan and supporter. And I love you.
The cheerleader show was part of a bigger charity show organised by and for the Kinderherzaktionen of Alex (http://www.kinderherzaktionen.de/). These people are the real angels.
I am happy twice, to have seen my girl in the show and to have supported this charity event and cause.
Last Christmas
Last Christmas time 2023 was spent here in Herrenberg with my magic trio, Guni, Wanda, and Diego, and with part of our German family, Christoph, Marie Luise, Almi, Sebastian, and Pauline. Pulled pork was the culinary highlight prepared by Ohle, but I also enjoyed the cheese cream made with cheddar.
A Christmas time with a lighter head.
Timeline +2023
We moved to a new house, we went back to Valkanela, Guni and me celebrated 20 Years of love. And my parents’ Golden Wedding Anniversary, me and Matthias in Napoli, new scenarios at work, Napoli winning the Scudetto, walking through Rome again. While Wanda and Diego shining with their beauty. And many other things. Quite an eventful Year the 2023.
I just updated the Timeline (which might be further updated/ fine tuned).
ROMAntische Straße
In Rome, 7-10 December. Walking through and re-living the places of my past which are still in my heart.
Thanks to Corrado and Silvia for their hospitality and the relaxed atmosphere they offered me, and for their long time friendship they honor me with.
Herr Lapelazzuli
I was Herr Lapelazzuli for a day, and it was lovely to play school with Wanda and Diego, and with Teddy.
White Beautiful Day
It’s full of snow. We spent a beautiful family day at home all together playing the games Wanda and Diego organised, walking outside, in Böblingen having lunch and at the Cinema.
Thank you Marianne
This site is adopting a new WordPress Theme from today. I am still experimenting the new styles, there will be other changes and fine tunings I believe.
I have enjoyed and I am very very thankful to the previous Theme and Style I adopted, “Marianne”, which has been powering Lapelazzuli.com during the past couple of years and still remains an inspiring reference for me and for this site.
Dove vanno a finire i pensieri?
Dove vanno a finire i pensieri, quelli di adesso e quelli di prima?
Dove sono i ricordi?
Tutto va verso il futuro, anche il presente, anche lo spazio. Un continuo presente che sfugge a sé stesso ed a noi.
Dove scompaiono i pensieri?
Adventsbasteln in die Schule
Another milestone of my life this year on Friday 24.11. An entire morning spent with my kids and their schoolmates and teachers, preparing decorations for Christmas @ the School.
A time spent within the time and places of Wanda and Diego, a time for me to experience a part of the daily life of my children.
Another occasion to realise how beautiful children are.
Meistershaft
Diego was so exited to play this simulated football Meistershaft with me at home, with the mini ball. I saw in his eyes the same exitement I had as a kid when playing games like this.

Last time it was in Berlin in 2013, 10 years ago… This time, in 2023, a whisky tasting evening in Herrenberg @AlteBrennerei – a birthday present.
Sonntag im Schwarzwald
Celebrating Guni’s birthday last Sunday in Enzklösterle with her, Diego, Wanda, and Christoph: I enjoyed the day, the company, the food, the beautiful nature.
And the afternoon was spent @ the Riesenrutschbahn Poppeltal where the kids had a lot of fun!
Busy Happy Birthday Weekend
On my birthday this year, we spent a busy happy weekend, dining out on friday with some friends, with me enjoying my kids and family’s company and presents,
and inviting on Sunday afternoon in our garden our new neighbours to get to know each others in a nice atmosphere with balloons and ice creams (credits to Guni for pushing for and making this possible).
Austria – Croatia – Austria
August 20 – September 4
We spent 2 weeks between Austria and Croatia for our summer holidays. More precisely: we stayed 2 days in Drobollach Austria by the Faaker See, 9 days at Valkanela in Vrsar Croatia, 3 days in Obertraun Austria by the Hallstatter See.
We had time to relax and see beautiful places, enjoying the calm and views of the lakes in Austria and the beautiful Valkanela bay and its incredibly nice Camping Resort. And to see Wanda and Diego being happy, having fun, showing us their beauty.
Valkanela was a come back for Guni and me, after 2014 we came back this time with our two amazing kids. The first of the many places we might visit again with the kids : back to Sicily?, back to Michigan?, back to New York?…
I am already looking forward to that and to new places to discover and to enjoy with Guni, Diego and Wanda.
