When we turn to normality and the priority are luxury items, one can think what is it that this time of confinement taught us?
What are the values that matter to preserve?
What is the change that we must adapt to be better, to build a possible future for everyone?
What does freedom mean?
What does our responsibility to the planet mean?
In this gradual opening, what I miss most is listening to someone inspiring in a concert hall. A great one like Yo Yo Ma, playing one of the best soundtracks ever - Cinema Paradiso.
Isn't Tornatore, with its touch of genius, what we should be missing?
That people like him can return to filming, dancing, singing, playing, sculpting, painting… so that we can see/feel master pieces that depict life and high values?
When I think of beauty, Cinema Paradiso always cross my mind, along with the magical cello of Yo Yo Ma. If it were my last day on Earth, this set would make me perfectly happy, knowing that humanity is capable of creating such beauty that resonates in time and space. I am humbly grateful for that.
No, I don't want sandals, luxury wallets, earrings, or any other item more or less futile, but I miss what feeds the soul and elevates us to the level of Gods - I miss Art.
