Felicetta salpa dal Salento per donare ai suoi ospiti una vacanza accessibile ed inclusiva sul mare

Grande attesa e curiosità attorno a Felicetta, la prima imbarcazione accessibile inserita nel progetto "Tourism for all" realizzato dall'associazione Portatori sani di sorrisi odv, che oltre a Felicetta portami al mare, comprende anche Dinamiko Beach, Dinamiko Village e Access City. L'iniziativa fa parte del progetto "Tourism for all" dell'associazione Portatori sani di sorrisi Odv.

Un progetto strutturato di inclusione sociale che ha il principale obiettivo di far vivere una vacanza spensierata, e completamente gratuita, a coloro che hanno delle difficoltà motorie e sensoriali o che hanno vissuto lungo degenze per una malattia e trovano in questo progetto serenità e unione familiare. Tutti i servizi sono completamente gratuiti e prenotabili sul sito www.portatorisanidisorrisi.it. Sul sito sono anche disponibili maggiori dettagli su ogni iniziativa.

Pierangelo Muci, presidente e volontario dell'associazione, parla di Felicetta non come un punto d'arrivo, bensì come un ulteriore punto di partenza, che potrà dare molto agli ospiti ed alle loro famiglie, che quotidianamente vivono le difficoltà di superare barriere fisiche e sociali, puntando a regalare delle ore di assoluta spensieratezza in una esperienza sul mare. Un'attività che si aggiunge alla clown terapia nelle corsie degli ospedali, ai viaggi della speranza su Felicetto, il primo camper attrezzato e colorato a supporto delle famiglie che devono spostarsi dalla propria regione per raggiungere luoghi di cura in tutta Italia, alle attività e ai servizi nel lido accessibile, ai tour accessibili in città, attività svolte con un sorriso e per generare un po' di buonumore a chi è più sfortunato.

Si ringraziano la Regione Puglia, la Provincia di Lecce, i comuni di Porto Cesareo, Nardò, Gallipoli e Galatina, Unisalento, Samsara Beach, la Capitaneria di porto e la Lega navale di Gallipoli, i Lions di Gallipoli, che con il loro impegno hanno fatto in modo che il progetto sia presente su Gallipoli e tutte le associazioni, aziende e persone che negli anni hanno creduto e continuano a credere nel progetto. Ringrazia anche il gusto unico di donare con 1 caffè onlus (fondata da Luca Argentero) e coppa del nonno, che ha selezionato Portatori sani di sorrisi Odv tra 14 mila associazioni italiane.

L'imbarcazione sarà ormeggiata nei vari porti del Salento, dando l'opportunità di vivere il mare senza barriere e di capire a tutti che a volte «i limiti più ingombranti sono nella testa e che sono superabili».

Maybe one day I'll understand too.// Advice from an Italian person: never ever visit cities in summer, you’ll DIE from heat. In summer explore the seaside in Sardinia, Liguria, Puglia or Sicily is where you should go🫶🏻

Spring and autumn for visiting cities: Rome is beautiful but it gets quite dirty sometimes (clown municipality management🤡).

Apart from the traditional tour Venice, Milan, Florence, I suggest Turin, it’s a gem!

Long-time readers will know I had a trip booked to Rome for April 2020. Didn’t quite work out and I took it as a sign that it wasn’t supposed to be. 😂

I’d totally go for Positano and the Amalfi coast but again, no sugar daddy in sight.

THE STUFF OF LEGENDS

Our voyage through the ancient world continues. Leaving behind the Romans, sailing East, and journeying deeper into the Hellenic world. We’ve come ashore in Greece, and life is sweet here. I mean seriously sweet. Must be all the halva, honey and Easter eggs.

To get here, from Sicily we crossed the toe of Italy, arched around its instep, and arrived somewhere near the top of the high heel for a pressing assignation. We’d committed ourselves to the labours of HelpEx, having been accepted on a family small-holding in Mola di Bari. Yearning for a bit more interaction and social life, this seemed the perfect way to get under the skin - and into the kitchens - of Italian life. The girls bristled with excitement, keen to meet the family’s 8 year-old daughter named Fara. “Will it be like the olive farm we worked on in Spain?” they ask. Probably not, we say. It’s more domestic we think, not so much back-breaking work. “It’s kind of like the Roman times,” we explain “We offer to be slaves, and they feed us. Hopefully without the harsh punishment or threat of being thrown to the lions if we disobey.”

From the moment we arrived, there was a sense of familiarity, and it was clear we’d feel comfortable with Andrea, Angela and Fara. They welcomed us in to a large, round courtyard, an ancient gnarled olive tree at its centre, and a volley of yelping Italian children circling it by bike at the speed of charioteers racing the Circo Massimo. It soon became apparent the family had friends over, and Elsie and Lulu were immediately drawn into the melé, guided by the irresistible rules of play. As the sun went down the evening was warm enough to stay outside and enjoy focaccia, cheese and salad from their garden. It reminded Marcus of his family home in Pembrokeshire, Middlelands, in many ways. The same informality and open-house welcome. Throughout our week, as we worked in the garden this sense continued, people often dropping by, calling over. Meal times were sociable affairs, super-healthy and all vegetarian. There were no unhealthy snacks nor processed food of any kind in the house. So much so, they didn’t even possess a can opener. The girls responded well. They hero-worship Fara, following her lead in all things, even developing a taste for fennel, much to our surprise. During the mornings we’re left to get on with things by ourselves as the family worked and Fara went to school. Sometimes the girls would help us, other times they’d roam free, making up their own games, desperate for Fara to return home and lead the charge. At first it felt a bit strange, wandering around trying to find tools, or stopping for a snack and rummaging about in someone else’s kitchen. One morning I discovered a quote from Socrates pinned above a chalk-board. “Education is the kindling of a flame. Not the filling of a vessel,” it read. I had the simultaneous experience of agreeing profoundly, whilst at the same time wondering what to do if you suspected your kids needed a bloody blowtorch to get things lit. Nonetheless, it inspired me this quote, and I decided that incidental learning might be much less stressful. So they helped plant their own bed of wildflowers, and spent a morning in the vegetable patch studying and drawing the different shape leaves to identify which vegetables they would become. After a few days, we adjusted, found our pace, and fitted in with the family’s way of life. The work wasn’t hard - clearing plant beds, weeding paths, digging up trees which had self-seeded to replant elsewhere - but its the first physical work we’ve done for some time. Having thought this would be a breeze compared to olive harvesting, Marcus confesses he’s glad we’re only staying a week as he’s not sure his back can take much more. Trying to steer him on to lighter duties I volunteer his services in the cooking department, suggesting he make the family a curry. The idea gains traction, indeed becomes somewhat of “an event”. Despite the legendary devotion the Italians have for eating only their own, exceptionally local food, by the end of the week Marcus is consulting his brother’s “We Love Curry” pages. For come the weekend he’s headlining an Indian banquet for a gathering of our hosts’ close relatives and friends. Well, we all know he does love a dinner party, and we said we wanted to meet more people! The only complications being a complete lack of Italian on his part, and little to no idea of how many close relatives and friends might turn up. Saturday arrives, and our hosts Andrea and Angela drift off, busily engaged in their own respective tasks. Marcus is left alone to make the final preparations. Guests begin arriving and filter through the kitchen, their curiosity piqued by such un-Mediterranean, unfamiliar smells. One by one they try and strike up a dialogue, but necessity dictates small talk is limited. Sensing familiarity as they watch him stretching out dough on the kitchen worktop, the dinner guests try a different tack: “Pizza?” they opine. “No pizza,” he demurs. “Focaccia?” “No focaccia” he emphasises, this time batted away with a definitive hand-swipe. “Panzarotte?”…and on it goes, with a list of about 20 Italian forms of bread, none of which are what he is making. “Chapatis,” he ventures. “Curry, with chapatis.” But this is an enigma, and the growing swell of puzzled faces signals they have arrived at a conversational cul-de-sac.

Thankfully, the delicious food does all the talking, and even the most hardened regional food purist has to admit it. One man takes Marcus aside, “Thank you for your curry,” he confides. “Maybe I won’t eat again, but doesn’t mean I don’t like.” Then, continuing by way of clarification, “You see I only eat dishes from Bari. My wife is from Parma, but I don’t even let her cook food from her home town….unless we go there to visit her family.” Message received. In summary, partial success, but curry colonisation in Puglia remains far from complete.

Our time spent in the warmth of Fara’s family appears to have regenerated our social lives, and from Italy onwards we are constantly finding ourselves in good company. There is Ruth and Frank, the first campervanners we have met from Wales. The sight of the red dragon sicker on the back of their vehicle is such a surprise that we have to restrain ourselves from rushing out to greet them with open arms. We instantly take a liking to them, and within minutes of discussing where we’re from discover we have friends in common. A retired clown from Cardiff, Frank tells us he knows Tenby well, most fondly because of his pal there James Osbourn. From here, the conversation flows and I can’t remember quite how exactly but at some point it navigates around to toilets. (Probably something to do with it being Elsie’s specialist subject). Ruth offers to show the girls their loo.

“It’s a composting toilet, would you like to see it?” she beams. We all trail inside, fascinated to find out more. Is this even possible I think, and how does it not stink the place out in such a small space? Pulling out two large food recycling bins, courtesy of Cardiff City Council, from under the bed, Ruth begins to explain. The couple are clearly very proud of their ingenuity and challenge us to a poo test. This involves opening up each container in turn, inviting us to have a sniff, and then guess which one contains the poo. It’s actually surprisingly difficult, and we have to admit defeat. Thrilled, Ruth goes on to explain that one box contains just sawdust and ash, and the other human excrement which has been covered with said sawdust and ash. “It takes away the smell entirely,” she says. “You wouldn’t even know. Amazing isn’t it?” And it is, and I love her obvious delight at the mastery of such an unpleasant problem. Strange too how you can find yourself examining a another’s most taboo bodily function within half an hour of meeting them.

Some days later, we are in Polignano de Mare, a seaside town set atop rocks, narrow balconies overlooking the caves eroding beneath. It’s dramatic and precarious position has led to it being picked as one of the Red Bull Cliff Diving locations, like Abereiddy back at home. While we wait to catch the ferry to Greece, we spend a wonderful few sunny days here. It’s a chance to dust off the canoe and explore the pretty inlets and coastline. It’s also our last opportunity to scoff pizza, try interesting gelato combinations like fig and ricotta, and drink good wine. And while we won’t miss the driving in Italy, we will miss the country itself. It’s fresh vegetables packed with flavour, the approach they have towards children - letting them run free, with trust and respect. And the people who seem to live life the way they coach their little ones to tackle obstacles - “piano, piano” (slowly, slowly). We park right by the sea, and the girls go scrambling over the rocks, in search of the blowholes they can hear snoring like dragons. They bring back a little blonde-haired girl called Poppy. And by sunset the girls are tucked up in her distinctive pink old-style VW campervan watching a movie, while we invite her parents Jane and Steve over for a drink. I guess its not that much of a surprise that a family who are doing a year out just like us, and having travelled much of the same route, would have met some of the same people. But it’s still heartening somehow to discover that they have. It fosters our sense of a community on the road when we learn that they too spent time with the wonderful Hilary, Richard, Jess, Chippie and Bonnie, whom we enjoyed Christmas with in Tarifa.

From Bari, we sail to Petrás in Greece. From the ferry we sight the islands, craggy and wild, whetting our appetite for what this next country will have to offer. The almond trees have now been replaced by the bright pink blossom of Judas trees, yellow explosions of Broom, and the purple profusion of low-hanging wisteria draped by the roadside. Our first supermarket stop, near to the ancient sanctuary of Olympia, doesn’t disappoint. There is olive paste spread, an explosion of sesame goods in the forms of tahini and halva, a whole aisle dedicated to yoghurt. “What do they call Greek yoghurt here?” Marcus muses. “Just yoghurt?” And then there’s the filo pastry, a world of new cooking opportunities lay open before us! On reaching the meat counter we are momentarily overcome by the language barrier, indeed the whole different alphabet, rendering us clueless. Luckily, some improvisation prevails, and by saying, “Baaaaa!!!” to the man a few times, he soon catches on that I would like lamb. There are no small portions in Greece, and he hacks off such a large chunk, it keeps us going for 3 days.

But the best thing so far has to be embracing the whole incidental learning idea full tilt. This month its purely Classics. The girls are in their element - it’s all about stories after all, which they love, and everywhere you look there’s another reference to a legend, another piece of the historical puzzle which still resonates through our culture today. Our maths lesson before visiting Olympia was measuring distances. The girls had to mark out intervals of 1m until we reached the crucial 200m mark, the distance ancient athletes would sprint. Appreciation of the site itself taxes the imagination more than the ruins of Rome or Pompei. But from the layout and the thickness of some of the columns its possible to guess at how impressive it would once have been. As always the devil is in the detail, and we try and point out as much as we came to bring it all to life. The wide open space of the Palaestra where hey have a mock wrestle, the plinths lining the approach to the stadium which would have held bronze statues of Zeus, paid for by the fines of athletes who had cheated. The inscriptions still visible beneath bearing their names and city of birth. The cheap seats up high on Mount Kronos, filled by woman and slaves, which overlooks the track where the girls race. But it is one detail in particular that really tickles them - the fact that the ancient competitors would have all been naked. This steers Elsie’s mind back onto another of her favourite topics. In many ways an ancillary to toilets - that of winkles. And she enjoys a saunter around the museum gaping at all the parts of male anatomy on statuesque display. I can’t get over the impression of soft, see-through chiton material etched out of stone on the statue of Nike, or the perfect proportions in the face of Athena and Hermes. There is a whole room dedicated to the many small figurines, votive offerings, left at the temples of Zeus and Hera. Displayed, they look like an installation of battle, exquisite in their painstaking detail.

We have a book of “Greek Myths” for children (or Greek Miffs, as they pronounce it), which is our all important educational go-to-guide for this part of the trip. And it’s mind boggling how many places and sites we have seen which are referenced in those stories. In Italy the sirens in the story of Odysseus just off the coast of Naples, the cyclops in Sicily he defeats on Mount Etna. And here in Greece, the 12 labours of Heracles depicted on the Temple of Zeus in Olympia, the temples to the oracles on the wild Peloponnese, the beautiful town of Kardamyli (one of seven gifted by Agamemnon to Achilles in return for rejoining the battle of Troy), and finally the caves of Diros. Once we discover these caves are behind the tales about the River Styx, and the journey to the Underworld, we just have to go and take a look. Brushing up beforehand on the chapters about Pluto and Cerberus his 3-headed dog. Located on the Mani peninsula near the town of Aereopoli, they are an other-world experience, and its not hard to imagine why the Greeks thought they led to a different realm. Entering the caves from a stone beach, you climb down to an underground lake where a “ferryman” awaits to transport you through a network of waterways, a labyrinth of caverns and tunnels adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. Floating along on a narrow gondola, amid the humidity and drips from above, I’m sure it would have been quite a spiritual experience, if it wasn’t for the kids hassling us to change seats and let them have a go at taking pictures.

For the last week or so we have been winding our way down the central finger of the Peloponnese, from Pylos, Kardamyli, Stoupa, Agios Nikolaus, Aereopoli, and right to the tip at Porto Kagio. Free camping is no problem here, and we can pitch up right by a pebbled beach, string out the hammock and spend our days swimming, and eating outside. Our favourite dish is experimenting with home-made pastries. Using the filo Marcus has been trying out different filled parcels - savoury spinach and feta, and sweet combinations of apple and raisin, sesame, honey and pistachio. Over the last week we’ve met a few friendly German families at some of our camping spots, sharing breakfasts on the beach and relaxed mornings with time to teach the girls card tricks, and giving them responsibilities like the chance to be head chef and make lunch for us, or earn extra pocket money by washing up.

The further south we travel, the wilder and more remote the landscape becomes. The road curving inwards along the steep terraced ancient hillsides, carpeted with wildflowers and punctuated by clusters of soft grey Mani tower houses. A few weeks ago we were inside the van discussing our concerns that the girls reading wasn’t improving greatly. They were both outside lobbing up sticks and any objects they could find into a large palm tree. At that moment Elsie burst in to ask if she could have a bowl because they were harvesting dates. As we stepped out to have a look, I had to smile. Remember Socrates, I thought. They weren’t actual dates, but they looked very similar. The girls might not be great readers just yet, but they can spend hours studying the many different shapes and varieties of plants we find here, and they can identify wild asparagus and fennel much better than I.

Easter is an important festival here in Greece, and we spent it in Kardamyli, smashing the bright red boiled eggs that symbolise the blood of Christ, and following the processions to the sound of church bells tolling out the call to worship. On Good Friday Marcus received a phonecall from his mum to say his beloved Grandmother, Gassie, had died at the age of 101. It was news he had been expecting for some time, yet forewarned and prepared as he was, it is never easy to be away from family at such a time. But thinking back on her legacy, and childhood memories of this unchanging constant in his life, it reaffirms why we are doing this trip. The more the months slide by, the more aware we are how precious this experience is. Each photo, each place has a poignancy that wasn’t there at the start. To spend this time with each other, to experience ourselves close-up it almost seems, is our gift and legacy to our children. One we hope will endure.

All’interno del cartellone del Festival ideato e diretto da Nastro di Möbius verranno attivati 4 workshop, di cui uno dedicato ai più piccoli. Di seguito i dettagli

INNESTI Lab 1: Richiami workshop di danza improvvisazione e contatto diretto da Lara Russo

Casa delle Culture 27 > 30 luglio 2017 dalle ore 11.00 > alle ore 17.00

Il corpo di ognuno, il corpo in sé, da solo, per quanto complesso, ha molti limiti. E ́nell’incontro con l’altro che possibilitá di movimento e creazione si moltiplicano. Il lavoro che propongo é quello di rendere le tensioni tra i corpi spazi elettrici, sensibili ed esplorabili. (Ri)trovare un territorio comune per immergersi nel potenziale energetico che ognuno giá possiede e condividerlo. Tecnicamente, attraverso esercizi provenienti dalla tecnica Contact Improvisation e dal Body mind centering si cercheranno momenti di connessione tra il proprio movimento e quello degli altri. Appropriarsi dello spazio datoci per viverlo secondo criteri stabiliti nel momento dalla improvvisazione, vivere lo spazio tra i corpi come una porta di accesso ad altre modalitá di stare e danzare e come una propria personale occasione di apertura e trasformazione. Lara Russo www.lararusso.org

Lara Russo nasce e cresce a Milano. Attualmente insegna danza contemporanea e contact improvisation a Bologna presso la formazione professionale Dance start up diretta da Brigel Gjoka , perpetuando la sua ricerca artistica sia nel campo fotografico/video che sul terreno performativo, come coreografa e interprete.

INNESTI Lab 2: Cantiere di teatro interattivo e sensoriale in spazi non convenzionali Peek Day Squillace: Reverie diretto da Emi Bianchi

27 luglio 2017 Casa delle Culture | Castello Normanno dalle ore 10.00 > 13.00 | dalle ore 15.00 > alle ore 19.00

«La poesia è un’anima che inaugura una forma”. (Gaston Bachelard “La poetica dello spazio”)

Confine incerto propone una giornata dedicata alla ricerca sulla poetica dei sensi site specific. Il focus verte su alcune domande relative alla creazione di una immagine poetica. Come creare un’immagine poetica? Cosa è l‘immagine fantastica? e l’immaginazione immaginosa? Che relazione ha l’immaginazione con la memoria? C’è un potere immaginante in ognuno di noi e se lo ascoltassimo? Quale mistero custodisce? Qual è il suo segreto? Quando un’immagine non lascia spazio all’immaginazione e quando invece diventa fonte di creazione immaginativa per chi la esperisce? Cosa ci racconta lo spazio? E quando “parla il luogo”? Cosa c’era, chi avremmo incontrato, con chi avremmo parlato e cosa avremmo trovato o cercato in questo cumulo di pietre, forse un segreto? Il cantiere segue le tecniche della metodologia ludico-creativa, quel metodo che trasforma un gioco in atto poetico, concetto caro a Huizinga, secondo cui il percorso che conduce alla creazione e all’esperire è il gioco nelle sue caratteristiche di atto libero, consapevole, disinteressato; ed è legato all’esperienza di teatro sensoriale (metodo creato e sviluppato dal Maestro Enrique Vargas e il Teatro de Los Sentidos) Il lavoro verte su: allenamento propriocettivo, come creare l’ascolto e la fiducia, cos’è uno spazio caricato di senso, principi di “costruzione” dell’immaginario attraverso i sensi L’incontro è guidato da Emi Bianchi, è aperto a chiunque sia interessato a sperimentare “giocando”

INNESTI Lab 3: I Seminario Linklater. Consapevoelzza del corpo e ritmo del respiro naturale. Seminario d’introduzione al metodo Linklater diretto da Maria Grazia Bisurgi

28 > 29 luglio 2017 Casa delle Culture dalle ore 15.00 > alle ore 19.00

Si rivolge ad attori, cantanti e altri professionisti che usano la voce per lavoro, e a chiunque sia interessato ad approfondire la conoscenza della propria voce ed esplorarne le potenzialità. Il percorso parte dal prendere coscienza delle proprie abitudini posturali, muscolari e respiratorie per andare alla scoperta di nuove possibilità, fisiche, respiratorie, vocali ed espressive. Il lavoro, profondamente radicato nel corpo, va nella direzione della libertà emotiva, della finezza degli impulsi e della chiarezza di pensiero, elementi fondamentali di una comunicazione efficace. I partecipanti saranno guidati in un percorso passando dalla consapevolezza del corpo, del respiro, delle vibrazioni nel corpo, dello scioglimento delle tensioni del canale fonatorio, per ripristinare il libero accesso ai risuonatori, potenziare la capacità respiratoria, e sviluppare l’estensione vocale e l’articolazione della voce in parola. L’obiettivo è quello di liberare la propria voce naturale da tensioni e abitudini comunicative limitanti per ritrovare la propria voce trasparente, che riveli, piuttosto che descrivere, il suo contenuto: pensieri, emozioni, sensazioni.

IL METODO Il metodo Linklater parte dal presupposto che ognuno possiede una voce in grado di esprimere l’infinita varietà di emozioni, complessità di stati d’animo e sfumature di pensiero di cui fa esperienza. Questa è la nostra voce naturale, la voce che è in noi “per nascita”. Questa voce tuttavia è nel corso della nostra vita modellata e condizionata da influenze esterne e da scelte personali relative all’immagine che vogliamo dare di noi stessi. Il risultato è la voce che conosciamo, la nostra voce familiare. La voce che ci è familiare, quella a cui siamo abituati, potrebbe risultare molto limitata nella performance. Perché la nostra voce familiare potrebbe essere in balia delle tensioni accumulate nel corso della vita e aver imparato a mascherare piuttosto che a rivelare i nostri pensieri e i nostri sentimenti, tanto da non essere disponibile alla libera espressione del contenuto di uno “script” (testo teatrale, spartito, discorso…). A questo punto possiamo scegliere di costruire una voce che ad arte descriva emozioni e pensieri (i nostri o quelli del testo e del personaggio), o riconquistare l’uso della nostra voce naturale per consentire la trasmissione del nostro mondo interiore (delle emozioni e dell’immaginazione) a chi ci ascolta. La voce naturale ci permetterà di rivelare – non descrivere – le sfumature del pensiero e del sentire. Ma sarà soltanto liberando la nostra voce dalle tensioni abitudinarie che potremmo metterla al servizio di una libera comunicazione. Il Metodo propone una dettagliata serie di esercizi che combinano immagini, immaginazione e informazioni tecniche. Chi vorrà apprenderli arriverà a una comprensione della psico-fisiologia della sua voce che darà luogo a un fondamentale ricondizionamento delle sue abituali modalità comunicative. Gli esercizi si articolano in una struttura dettagliata e accuratamente progettata, che si sviluppa nei seguenti passaggi:

IL CORPO: la spina dorsale, il supporto al respiro naturale. IL RESPIRO: liberare il respiro, il ritmo della respirazione involontaria.

INNESTI Lab Young: I segreti della Piazza laboratorio teatrale sul linguaggio non verbale diretto da Francesco Votano e Maria Grazia Bisurgi | ConimieiOcchi

30 luglio 2017 Casa delle Culture | Piazza Duomo Dalle 16.00 > alle 19.00

Il laboratorio affronta tematiche sociali come l’accoglienza e l’emarginazione indagandole attraverso la comicità. I ragazzi saranno condotti, grazie ad una serie di giochi/esercizio e feedback sul lavoro, alla realizzazione di una performance finale da proporre al pubblico; saranno coinvolti nella strutturazione di un vero e proprio spettacolo teatrale che li vedrà protagonisti assoluti della scena. La tecnica teatrale che indagheremo sarà il linguaggio non verbale e l’arte della comicità del Clown e la poetica del fallimento. L’impianto sarà quello del cinema muto anni ’30, ispirato all’ arte di Charlie Chaplin (il percorso potrebbe essere arricchito dalla visione collettiva di alcuni video/filmati riguardanti l’arte comunicativa del linguaggio non verbale). Il Linguaggio non verbale rappresenta un valore universale: tutte le forme di relazione che l’uomo instaura nel corso dell’esistenza, con se stesso, con gli altri esseri umani, con il mondo naturale, sono permeate di non verbale. Anche nel linguaggio parlato e scritto, il contenuto extra-verbale ha un potere comunicativo ed emotivo addirittura superiore alle parole stesse. Le diverse forme artistiche – musica, pittura, scultura, danza, etc. -, organizzate in complessi codici comunicativi (le tecniche dei linguaggi artistici), rappresentano il più evidente fenomeno di comunicazione non verbale delle emozioni.

One Who Dresses: Maria Antonietta

One Who Dresses is a series that provides a view into the spirits and closets of women, as they share what getting dressed means to them in the context of who they are as human beings. By giving women a platform to share the complex narrative that takes place at the intersection of who we are and what we wear, this series aims to inject more empathy into our relationship with fashion both with others, and with ourselves.

____

Tucked away among olive trees in the Pugliese countryside, down a windy dirt road, is the magnificent property of Vito and Maria Antonietta, where we spent possibly the most magical week ever last November.

We arrived very late at night and were greeted by the two warmest people you could ever imagine. I awoke the next morning to go for a walk among when I stumbled upon a Maria Antonietta gardening in gingham pants, wearing oversized pearl earrings and bright red lipstick! Gardening!!! She positively oozed style. Of course, her style goes much deeper than her clothes. Her way of living, of seeing the world, of eating and communing with the environment (she and Vito farm the property organically by themselves) - all of these things make her one of the most stylish women I have ever had the pleasure to know.

So, it goes without saying I asked her to share her philosophy on style, which she graciously did. What follows is a conversation that took place between us in her and Vito's living room, after a beautiful dinner we shared. And if you happen to be planning a trip to Puglia, stay with them! Here is Maria Antonietta, in her own words.

What is style?

Style for me is fantasy; it is how we imagine ourselves dressing. Good style is provocative. It doesn’t matter what the fashion is. It could be long skirts or short skirts. No matter; I don’t bother with it. If I like something, I wear it. That is style.

What is your approach to getting dressed?

When I get dressed, I don’t want to be like anyone else, I want to be me. If someone told me I resemble so-and-so, I wouldn’t like it one bit. And I would change myself. Because I want to be me. This is how I feel about life, as well as fashion. I want my life, not the life of others.

I love the Japanese style. I have so many pieces from Japanese designers. I love Kenzo. In general, I don’t spend so much on my clothing. I prefer to invest in jewelry because it always has a value. This dress could be fine now, but in a month or two, it’s no longer fashionable.

I love to pair unexpected things together. I wear checkered pants with a floral jacket. People might say this is clashing, but I find it beautiful. Strange. Unusual. I think I’ve always been counter-culture. I have always dressed in a way that pleases me. I smoked, I wore red lipstick when it was provocative to do that. I even cook in my own way!

How do you learn to really listen to your inner voice? To be tuned in to your own frequency?

I think it’s strange that in our culture so many people want to be the same as others. They want to dress the same, to look the same. They aspire to have the same life as someone else. I don’t understand this. In this world, we would all be like soldiers, dressed in the same uniform. What personalities would we have? You only have one life, so you must live it, and it must be your own. People will always talk no matter what you wear or what you do, so don’t listen to what anyone says. Do what you want, always. Do what your heart tells you to do.

It takes enormous strength, and it is a constant battle. You have to be aware of your own power. You must understand that you have a force within you. Each of us does. You need to practice exercising your power every single day.

"You only have one life, so you must live it, and it must be your own. "

Have you ever dyed your hair? Would you ever consider dyeing it?

I always had very long, jet-black hair. My hair was always part of my look, and I was very attached to it. When I turned 50, I cut it. I felt it was time. I was starting to have wrinkles on my face and a lot of gray hair, and I was dyeing it at the time. I was going to the hairdresser to cut and dye every week because I have a lot of hair and it grows very quickly. The whole thing was crazy. One day, I just said to my husband, what if I stop dyeing my hair and I’ll have gray hair like you? He said, why not! So I stopped dyeing my hair. It’s half white now and half gray, and I like it this way. I’m no longer a slave to it, bound to my hairdresser. I am happy with how I look. My hair is suitable for my age. I think an old face with artificially dyed hair is at odds. The wrinkles are more pronounced. It’s just off. I think being natural makes me look younger, not older.

What is the relationship between style and age?

It’s complicated. In a way, the older you get you must do what you want. But I think at a certain age you have to be careful because if you overdo it, you become ridiculous. In Italy, so many women have plastic surgery and I think it is a terrible trend. You see them on TV and they can’t even laugh anymore, they can’t open their eyes. To end up looking like a clown to stay fashionable or beautiful is very bad.

I think one has to do what they want but within limits. You have to have a balance. You cannot be too bold as you get older. You want people to see that you have a strong sense of style, and you want people to stare, but for the right reasons not the wrong ones.

It’s interesting you mention plastic surgery. What do you think about the value we place as a society on youth, especially as it concerns our appearance?

It is very natural that when one is young, they feel beautiful. People make comments about a woman’s appearance. People look when she is walking down the street. And then one starts to get old and this attention stops.

If our self-worth is attached to our appearance, then when people stop saying how beautiful we are, we don’t feel beautiful anymore. It is very hard for many women so they think, “If I change my face or have some plastic surgery, people will think I’m beautiful again.” But it doesn’t work like that. Many years ago, I considered having a breast enhancement. My chest is very small and I’m always in a swimsuit in the summer here and it just became something I kept thinking about. If only my chest were bigger. But then I thought to myself, I cannot have the breasts of a 20 year-old on the body of a 70 year-old. It wouldn’t look right. Then I’d have to change everything. I’d have to get a face-lift, a leg-lift, do my arms and my butt. So I said: no! Too much. I don’t want to live like this. So I never did it and I never think about getting plastic surgery. I like myself the way I am. My husband also thinks I am beautiful.

There is a great Italian actress, Anna Magnani. Someone told her, “Why don’t you remove your wrinkles?” She said, “It took me 50 years to get them, why would I take them away?” They are a part of my life.

What should fashion do for women?

I feel that fashion is a force for change. For example, fashion helps us try different things, maybe even things that were previously taboo, liking mixing patterns or experimenting with new ways of dressing. We must try new things and have new experiences, and fashion is a way for us to do that. For example, why not put a collar like the one worn by Mary, Queen of Scots, on a denim shirt? Why not be daring? I say, try it!

"Put an emphasis on your fault to make it into a virtue."

What about self-acceptance—how does our understanding of our self relate to our sense of style?

The first thing is, you have to accept yourself. I am petite (1.6 mt, 5’2”). What can I do? I can wear high heels but if I need to walk somewhere or if my feet are tired, I have to wear flat shoes and accept that I’m not as tall as I would like to be. So I compensate and I focus on my strengths. I love to laugh. And I’m funny. I can make good conversation. I learned to dress well and cook well. You must develop other aspects of yourself so you don’t always think about the things in yourself that you don’t like but can’t change. And your style develops from this understanding of yourself.

You must be very honest with yourself. If something is in fashion but it doesn’t fit you, don’t wear it. I see men and women wearing these rimless glasses and the lenses are so thick. They have bad eyesight but they want to wear these little glasses because they are ashamed to have bad vision. I say, wear huge goggles if you have bad eyesight! Put an emphasis on your fault to make it into a virtue.

Understand that no one is perfect. God gives you one thing but not everything. If you use what you were given to spread love, to make a beautiful memory, and to be kind to people, that is what matters. You are making your strength your signature.
