Il Magnifico writes a letter to the son who will be born in 6 months to XMas Lady. Between diapers, threesomes, and an overly enthusiastic grandmother, the most tender and surprising letter on the blog.
The women in my life are meteors: they enter, they shine, they disappear. A poem by the Magnifico, a confession, and writing as an antidote to death.

I’m parking my three-wheeled scooter when I see her right in front of me: Piccolina. My heart jumps as I recognize her.

And I see the stuffed animal and the eternal rose I had given to Piccolina. She brought them back to me at the end of our story. I see them on the nightstand she had chosen to better furnish my house, all covered in LEDs. Next to the mirrors she had found on...

Gradually, my eyes adjust and I can make out the beginning and end of each cloud, as if they were individual waves. My gaze drifts toward the horizon: ahead of me, New York awaits. I had booked this trip for the previous Christmas, excited to share the holiday atmosphere of...

They aren’t afraid of the high-speed beast, but of its driver: a guy with a plastered-on grin, singing at the top of his lungs and dancing with the same conviction as Gigi D’Agostino behind the...

The depth of that resulting crater is nothing compared to the void I still feel today, a month and 10 days after the end of our relationship. 40 days, like Christ’s days in the desert, during which I’ve...

Unfortunately, we’re in a Red zone, very red: if you stick your nose out the door… they’ll shoot you. Luckily, the doctor recently prescribed me “thermal balneotherapy,” so I have a good...

Yes, I’m the florist so-and-so, I have a bouquet of flowers for you.”“Are you sure it’s for me?”“Yes, yes, that’s what it says on the order.” I open the card: “A small and sweet thought to be with you...
