💙 A warm greeting and a hug to all my friends 💙
Today in particular, because 30th July marks the International Day of Friendship, established by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 2011 – although some nations celebrate it on different dates.
The General Assembly recognizing the importance of friendship as the simplest form of “a shared spirit of human solidarity” thought “that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.
And since July 30 is also the date of birth of Giorgio Vasari, a famous painter, architect and art historian (who was born in Arezzo in 1511 and died in Florence in 1574), I propose one of his paintings from 1544: “Six Tuscan poets”, where he depicted a group of friends from left to right : Cino da Pistoia, Guittone d’Arezzo, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Dante Alighieri, and Guido Cavalcanti.
In Italy we have this proverb, coming from the Bible: “He who finds a friend finds a treasure.”
So, happy 30th July to all my dear friends!
💙 Un caro saluto e un abbraccio a tutti i miei amici 💙
Oggi in particolare, perché il 30 luglio ricorre la Giornata Internazionale dell’Amicizia, istituita dall’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite nel 2011 – anche se alcune nazioni la celebrano in date diverse.
L’ Assemblea Generale riconoscendo l’importanza dell’amicizia come “sentimento nobile e prezioso nella vita degli esseri umani in tutto il mondo” propone di celebrare “l’amicizia tra popoli, paesi, culture e individui, con l’idea che possa ispirare gli sforzi di pace e offrire l’opportunità di costruire ponti tra le comunità.”
E siccome il 30 luglio è anche la data di nascita di Giorgio Vasari, famoso pittore, architetto e storico dell’arte (nato ad Arezzo nel 1511 e morto a Firenze nel 1574) propongo un suo dipinto del 1544: “Sei poeti toscani”, un gruppo di amici in cui si riconoscono da destra: Cavalcanti, Dante, Boccaccio e Petrarca; e dietro: Cino da Pistoia e Guittone d’Arezzo.
Si sa, chi trova un amico, trova un tesoro.
Perciò, buon 30 luglio a tutti!

Buongiorno.Luisa.
Per la Giornata internazionale dell’amicizia!
A M I C I
Ho una bella casa, e che ne faccio
se non ho amici cui dare accoglienza? . . .
Chi posso stringer mai in un abbraccio,
fraterno, e anche di più, se sono senza
amici? . . . E a chi racconto la mia vita?
A chi posso passar l’accumulata
esperienza . . . o lieta o avvilita . . .
se non è mai dentro me entrata
semenza di amicizia? . . . Solo se
tu puoi spartire quello ch’è in te
. . . o hai . . . vale ben la pena di
vivere, chè all’inverso . . . ehm, è così! . . .
passeranno i giorni inutilmente.
Sì, senza amici si è fatti di niente.
Non esser lume splendido ma spento!
Come dice Baricco in Novecento:
“Vale una bella storia raccontare
sol se qualcuno sta ad ascoltare”,
come è quasi zero un sonetto
fino a che resta chiuso nel cassetto,
pur se è profondo assai e risplendente:
si scrive non per sé ma per la gente.
“Amici” sono tutti quelli che
di volta in volta prendono da te
e a te ridanno indietro qualcosina
fosse un “okkei” . . . una risatina
. . . sulle spalle una pacca . . . una mentina
. . . al tuo gelato una leccatina
. . . al tuo messaggio una rispostina,
con cuore aperto fin dalla mattina.
E poi ce l’ha insegnato anche Gesù,
che un dì dal monte disse suppergiù:
“Nemici mai! . . . Amici solamente,
se no il mondo inesorabilmente
va verso la rovina, vince il male,
rivive il peccato originale.
Il passo cede pur Divinità ( 1 )
perché viva amicizia, in verità,
sempre, comunque, ovunque: è il fondamento
questo di ogni comandamento.
Per cui quando mi offri i doni, su’,
se un tuo nemico noti un po’ laggiù,
lasciali a terra, e corri quindi tu
ad abbracciarlo . . . Ciò vale di più!
‘Amico’ non può essere con me
chi ‘amico’ verso l’altro non lo è.
I doni poi . . . poi! . . . Or sai perché!”
(Cassandro)
( 1 ) Matteo 5
23 Se dunque presenti la tua offerta sull’altare e lì ti ricordi che tuo fratello ha qualche cosa contro di te, 24 lascia lì il tuo dono davanti all’altare e va’ prima a riconciliarti con il tuo fratello e poi torna ad offrire il tuo dono.

Thanks Luisa for reminding us that today is the International Day of Friendship . And today fortunately is the date of birth of a renaissance age painter like Giorgio Vasari who painted SIX TUSCAN POETS in1574 where he had painted his six friends with everyone wearing different style of dresses and conversing in pairs . But they have globe infront of themselves meaningby they wanted to spread this message of friendship throughout the globe . Moreover , books on the table shows that they , apart from the message of friendship , wanted to spread the message of education/knowledge also for all , the world over . Thanks !
