The grup was very weld and all of us enjoyed working on this theme.

Differences between the book and the film Romeo + Juliet

After reading Romeo and Juliet, we saw the film Romeo + Juliet with DI CAPRIOOOOOOO ( Okay sorry ) 

We could see many differences between them, but what are they ?

• First, the story occured on the present, and the original Romeo and Juliet, on the 16th century.

• There isn't swords in the film, only guns.

• Romeo didn't kill Paris in the film.

• Mercutio is black in the film.

• Mantua is a city in the original story, in the film, a desert.

• Romeo didn't take drug to go in the Capulet's party.

 

Italy

I think you know, now. But I'm so in love of Italy !

Quindi, Benvenuti a tutti ! vi presenterò il mio mundo !

The first thing that we think when we hear the word "Italy", we think at the history

We can think at the Antiquity, this one of the periods the most interesting, because the art and the civilisation was so developed.

The Roman Empire began at 27 before the Crist, and ended at 476 after the crist. 

To see the rests of this antic civilization, I advise to visit Rome, Pompeii, Ostia Antica, Herculaneum...

Between the  Trecento ( XIVe)  and the Cinquecento ( XVIe) There is the Italian Renaissance

This periode changed the Europe completely ; All the "genius" were in Florence and Roma ( especially in Florence ) : Macchiavelli or Petrarca for the literature, the artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci or Rafaello. 

And the architecture was impressionant : Il duomo di Santa Maria Del Fiore  or la Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano

Toscana was THE place of art : no matter where you can see in this city, you will see history, and you will live it as those who were before you there. 

There is too another thing that we think about italy :The Food !

( I'm hungry...) 

Pizza, pasta, risotto, olive oil, parmegiano... 

The food is still a part of the italian's history ! 

I love this country, his culture, his people...

Just leave yourself fall in love with Italy,

you will discover things that you'd ever thought..

And maybe leave your heart there... As I.

Love song for Romeo and Juliet

I madly love love songs, It's for me the best thing to dream !

But what is the best BEST song for Romeo and Juliet ? And Where could they sing this song ?

( I've an idea...)

 And I know definitly who is MY song... 

I present...

ED SHEEEERAAAAAN 

( yeeeeeeaaah )

"Thinking out loud"

When your legs don't walk like they used to before

Quand tes jambes ne fonctionneront plus comme avant

And I can't sweet you off of you feet

Et quand je ne pourrais plus te soulever

Will you mouth still remember the taste of my love 

Ta bouche se souviendra-t-elle encore du goût de mon amour

Will your eyes still smiles from your cheeks ?

Tes yeux souriront-ils encore ?

And Darling I will be loving you till you're 70

Et chérie, je t'aimerai jusqu'à tes 70 ans

And baby my heart could still fall as hard the 23

Et bébé, mon coeur pourrait t'aimer encore aussi fort qu'à 23 ans

And I'm thinking 'bout how

Et je pense à comment

People fall in love in misterious ways

Les gens tombent amoureux de façon étrange

Maybe just a touch of a hand

peut-être juste le contact d'une main

Well me- I fall in love with you every single day

Eh bien moi - je tombe amoureux de toi chaque jour

And I just wanna tell you I am

Et je veux juste te dire qui je suis

So honey now

Donc chérie maintenant

Take me into your loving arms

prends-moi dans tes bras affectueux

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Embrasse-moi sous la lumière de milliers d'étoiles

Place your head on my beating heart

place ta tête sur mon coeur qui bat

And I'm thinking out loud

et je pense à voix haute

That maybe we found love right where we are

Que peut-être nous avons trouvé l'amour là où nous sommes

When my head's overgone and my memory fades

Quand ma tête s'égarera et que ma mémoire s'éffacera

And the crowds don't remember my name

Et quand les foules ne se souviendront plus de mon nom

When my hands don't play the strings the same way

quand mes mains ne joueront plus les cordes de la même façon

I know you will still love me the same

je sais que tu m'aimeras encore de la même façon

'Cause honey your soul can never grow old

Car chérie ton âme ne peut pas vieillir

It's even green

elle est toujours en alerte

Baby your smile forever in my mind, in memory

Bébé ton sourire restera pour toujours dans mes pensées, dans ma mémoire

And I'm thinking 'bout how

Et je pense à comment

People fall in love in misterious ways

Les gens tombent amoureux de façon étrange

Maybe it's all part of a plan

peut-être que tout fait partie d'un plan

I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

Je continuerai à faire les mêmes erreurs

Hoping that you'll understand

Espérant que tu comprendras

But baby now

Mais bébé à présent

Take me into your loving arms

prends-moi dans tes bras affectueux

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Embrasse-moi sous la lumière de milliers d'étoiles

Place your head on my beating heart

place ta tête sur mon coeur qui bat 

And I'm thinking out loud

et je pense à voix haute

That maybe we found love right where we are

Que peut-être nous avons trouvé l'amour là où nous sommes

(pause)

So baby now

Donc bébé maintenant

Take me into your loving arms

prends-moi dans tes bras affectueux

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Embrasse-moi sous la lumière de milliers d'étoiles

Place your head on my beating heart

place ta tête sur mon coeur qui bat 

And I'm thinking out loud

et je pense à voix haute

That maybe we found love right where we are

Que peut-être nous avons trouvé l'amour là où nous sommes

Oh baby we found love right where we are

Oh bébé nous avons trouvé l'amour là où nous sommes

And we found love right where we are

Et nous avons trouvé l'amour là où nous sommes

I think this love song should be sang when Romeo and Juliet got married...

It's a shame that their love doesn't last very long...

And on 23 April 2016, it's the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death...

4 centuries and we still remember him...

Thank you, Shakespeare !

Carnival !

Last week, it was the carnival... And sure I did it ! 
But not anywere : Venezia !

The carnival of Venezia is historical ! 
People of the all over of the world came to see the luxurious costumes in the place "San Marco". 

Me, I took a costume and mask. Anyone can find someone in a Carnival ! I was hidden among the people.  

In the place San Marco, there are some shops and coffe shops. I bought hats, pants and shirts (So, clothes ). 
Later, I came in a coffee shop. Too there is a lot of choice to drink some coffee !
Finally, I took a milk coffee, because I can't drink a simple coffee, for me it's disgusting ! 

My mother came with me. She loves Italy, like me.
For the carnival, she was wearing a long dress and a mask with pretty golden designs.
She drank , her, a black coffee. I don't know how she can drink that ! 

We were sad to leave Venezia. Before taking the plane, we took a photo with the sunset. 

Definitely, Italy is the best country of the world !
