For our government, for our politicians, for our (all types of) mafias, this is only a heap of stones. But these walls are our heritage. Schola armaturarum is no more. New barbarians are in Pompeii, new barbarians are in Italy.

Tomorrow I will go to Lucca for 4 days to participate to Lucca Comics and Games 2010. A terrific convention all around a beautiful town setted for this annual event. I hope I survive.

I will present my gladiator game there. You will see the pics when I return.

Today I was at the 7° floor of the building where I work. The windows are in the front of the deposit of Metro B. You can see even 2 different kinds of wagons used in the past times, the wagons of Metro A converted to Roma_Lido, and those who rails today on Metro B. If you like trains you can enjoy this view like me.

I have got a magic card that open the doors of exclusive fairs. This one (3 hangars big) is about bread, ice-cream, pizza, fried foods and all these sort of things. https://www.pabogel-expo.com/

Entry at 30euros, but me, erPetra and erMandola swarm inside for free. And free were a lot of food. We start with ice-cream, than coffee, pizza at industrial rates, mozzarella di bufala, fried and coffee again. Without shame.
This fair is for people into the restaurant business and it is a good opportunity to know what is on the market.
An international competition about pizza makers was on and pizzas were cooked continually. I wished I had 4 stomachs. All good food.
Some fun things: at a Neapolitan cafeteria 2 girls were showing their outriggers in an outrageous way to make taste a type of coffee; another Neapolitans showed ovens with a microphone like if they were on a market; one label of prepared food for restaurants have a delicate and beautiful girl at the bench and a gigantic photo of a bikini girl on the advertising after her; some fried food was ugly; rotating ovens for pizza cooked with wood; electric boilers for pasta to cook in bars; a competition on acrobatic pizza was on but I hope that I never eat something so handed!

A old friend of mine is a “centurion” that operates outside the Colosseum. For tourists, 5 euros are the price for a small photo session, so their friends at home can see them doing the fools with a previous offender dressed something like a ancient legionary from a Cinecittà flick. Today we spoke about actual life, old times and old friends, and took this photo.

My first post on this website, my first blog. One sad thing about blogs are the good intentions at begin, say to make a lot of posts, while there will be a slow death after only some months. I hope to write more… And in the first instance: I’m sorry, I’m very sorry for my bad and poor English. I make this posts in another language than mine because the miniature language is English. I want to communicate with other people so I must to do so. And this blog is even about the development of my rules for a Ganesha game about gladiators. You will see here the steps of this. Enjoy!
