Video: Dear Lucio, I am writing to you: if there hadn't been that hectare of vineyard in Milo

Everyone has their obsessions, voyeuristic or reprehensible as they are. In recent days, the Dalla case has dominated and if in that variegated hereditary loot there had not been that hectare of vineyard in Milo, on the slopes of Etna, probably the spark of my curiosity would have died out much sooner. The homosexuality never declared and poorly digested by the Bolognese Cattocomunism, the absence of direct relatives, the greatness of his patrimony destined to five cousins who perhaps preferred Baglioni or Cocciante to him have uncovered a whole series of elements and fed the agenda of the media these days.
What have we discovered? Well, first of all, when a singer dies, he doesn't make another one. Especially if the artistic heritage (and not) is cumbersome as in the case of Lucio Dalla. But also that it is possible to live as a homosexual, not to advertise it, to have a companion (Marco Alemanno) and to be celebrated in church through a solemn rite, where however some underground restlessness was spreading, as Michele Serra told in Repubblica.
But the exhibit abstinence of one's homosexuality is a "political" sin that does not go down well with many. There are those who address it as an act of conformity (instinctive or clever as it may be), others as a manifestation of lack of courage. The non-sharing of a struggle experience. Whether you like it or not.
But is personal homosexuality necessarily a public act? A cry of alarm against a culture that is still inadequate to address the issue? Or is it this culture that must be reviewed, even in legal terms, when denies the inheritance to those who lived alongside a man, perhaps more intensely than a few cousins. Is Lucia Annunziata right about homophobia in this country?
But then, that hectare in Milo? Let's hope it ends up in good hands. The good ones say that Etna wine is a little overrated and is in fashion. For me it is a pleasure to drink.

"Come on, get a great idea for a food show!" Worse than going at night, I think. Instead I shake the hand of the network manager and walk out of his office.

The adventure of the Nicola Cavallaro restaurant at San Cristoforo is over. Anyone who knows me knows how much passion I have poured out over the years, to always welcome friends and customers in the best possible way and, therefore, how sorry I am to interrupt the journey started on the banks of the Naviglio. However, I must respect the different choices of those who accompanied me during […]

In elegant restaurants the phrase "an aperitif?" often hides a rip off. It is not an offer, but a sale
