Salve!

Today I have copied for you the Italian legend about the last 3 days of January

Oggi ho copiato per voi la leggenda degli ultimi 3 giorni di Gennaio

- The legend of the days of the blackbird
The legend of the three days of the hen blackbird is lost in antiquity.
We only know that they were the last three days of January, the 29th, 30th and 31st, and on those days the winter was very harsh in Milan.
The snow was a white blanket all over the city.
The main characters of this story are a blackbird, a hen blackbird and their three nestlings.
They came to city at the end of the summer and settled their shelter on a tall tree in a courtyard close to Porta Nuova.
Later on, in wintertime, they found a new place under some eaves to shelter from the snow that in that year was particularly heavy.
The frost made feeding difficult; the blackbird used to fly from morning till dusk looking in vain for seeds for his family and searched courtyards, gardens and balconies in the neighbourhoods.
Nothing.
The snow was covering every little crumb.
One day the blackbird decided to fly beyond the borders of that snowfall to find a new and milder shelter for his family.
Meanwhile the snow kept coming down.
The hen blackbird, to protect her chicks from the cold moved the nest to a nearby roof, where a chimney was giving off some warm.
The cold lasted three days.
And three days the blackbird stayed away.
When he came back he almost didn’t recognize his wife and the chicks: they all turned to black for the smoke coming out from the chimney.
On the first day of February a weak sun came out and all the family stepped out from their nest.
Also the blackbird was black from the soot. Since then all the blackbirds were born black: the whitebirds was a real exception.
The last three days of January, usually the coldest ones, were called “the three days of the hen blackbird” to remember the adventure of this family of birds.

- La leggenda dei giorni della merla
La leggenda dei tre giorni della merla si perde nella notte dei tempi.
Sappiamo solo che erano gli ultimi tre giorni di gennaio, il 29, 30 e 31, e in quei giorni a Milano l'inverno era molto rigido.
La neve aveva steso un candido tappeto su tutte le strade e i tetti della città.
I protagonisti di questa storia sono un merlo, una merla e i loro tre figlioletti.
Erano arrivati in città alla fine dell’estate e avevano sistemato il loro rifugio su di un alto albero in un cortile vicino Porta Nuova.
Poi, per l’inverno, avevano trovato casa sotto una gronda al riparo dalla neve che in quell’anno era particolarmente abbondante.
Il gelo rendeva difficile trovare le provvigioni per sfamarsi; il merlo volava da mattina a sera in cerca di becchime per la sua famiglia e perlustrava invano tutti i giardini, i cortili e i balconi dei dintorni.
Niente.
La neve copriva ogni briciola.
Un giorno il merlo decise di volare ai confini di quella nevicata, per trovare un rifugio più mite per la sua famiglia. Intanto continuava a nevicare.
La merla, per proteggere i piccoli intirizziti dal freddo, spostò il nido su un tetto vicino, dove fumava un comignolo da cui proveniva un po’ di tepore.
Tre giorni durò il freddo.
E tre giorni stette via il merlo.
Quando tornò indietro, quasi non riconosceva più la consorte e i figlioletti: erano diventati tutti neri per il fumo che emanava il camino.
Nel primo giorno di febbraio comparve finalmente un pallido sole e uscirono tutti dal nido invernale; anche il capofamiglia si era scurito a contatto con la fuliggine.
Da allora i merli nacquero tutti neri; i merli bianchi diventarono un’eccezione di favola.
Gli ultimi tre giorni di gennaio, di solito i più freddi, furono detti i "trii dì de la merla" per ricordare l’avventura di questa famigliola di merli.

ART for HEART http://artforheart.cabanova.com/

- From Thommy Ha., Curator of the project:
"An idea is born! On these pages, all future activities of the art project ART for HEART described in detail. A charity art project was launched from the Mainz Artist Thommy Ha. It aims to unite people, and have a basic idea: Help for people with heart disease! Artists should feel concerned himself as much as managers, gallerists and partners to host an exhibition as part of the project. Through the exhibition and sale of internationally selected works of art on the theme: "Life is ....?" to create a dialogue of interpersonal style. Art lovers and laymen, is to create the opportunity to be inspired by the sensuality of the art, socialize, and maybe enjoy a life worth living again with a handicap to be able to. This is one of the goals that I want to achieve with the project"

An Embrace!
