Photographer’s Note
IN MEMORIAM - NO POINTS PLEASE
Dear TE friends,
it is longtime I do not post any picture, nor comment yours. Other commitments have taken my time.
However I feel the urge to post this picture taken last year in L'Aquila, when visiting a dear friend who was born and raised there. Luckily he and his sister are permanently living in Pisa, but their parents lived in L'Aquila and had their apartment heavily damaged but still could safely leave the city and join their children in Pisa. However they lost all their belongings, house included, and don't know if and when they will be able to go back home. I know this is a little thing when compared to the dead people, but still...
The photo is part of the Cathedral facade, the inscription in Latin reads:
"Not tears benefit the dead, but prayers, pleas and charity"
Nothing is more true...

Ciao Marica!
La foto di quest' iscrizione è bene adattata al triste avvenimento del terremoto; pero i morti non tornaranno, e speriamo che i sopravvissuti potranno tornare nella loro città pronto!
Ho letto nel giornale che c'è impazienza con le autorità che non sembrano fare le cose necessarie presto!
Per tornare a tua foto, è un dettaglio interessante della facciata del DUOMO che siamo più abituati a vedere nel suo insieme.
Grazie per condividere.
Ciao!
Marie Louise.
