Fairy Tale of Winter - Fiaba d’Inverno

Long time ago, in an enchanted country, the Princess of the Frosts became the spouse of the Kings of Corals.
The wedding been celebrated with wonderful feasts , and in love King made everything to make happy the new life of his spouse.
Spent the seasons and arrived the Winter.
A day of December the King noticed that his darling was always sad era and the smile was vanished from her face:
“What happen my dear? What make you so unhappy ?”he asked
“By now the Winter has arrived and in this country kissed from the Sun will not see the snow never more. I miss the delicate colors of my kingdom of North, the nuances of the sunrises, but over all I miss the white of my snow” answered the Queen with melancholy.
So the Christmas’s morning arrived, but not even the day of feast succeeded to cheer up the face of the Princess of the Frosts.
So the King asked to his spouse to follow him in a promenade outside their castle to show her a sourprise.
The king and the Queen came out in the Sun and just passed the threshold of the wood the Princess vide a wonderful sea of little white flowers suspended in air that that shone in the wind…
Like the snow!
Moved from the request of the King, all the almonds was flowered before their time, to bring back the joy on the lips of Princess.
Since that day the flower of almond continues to bloom in Winter.

Tanto tempo fa, in un paese incantato,la Principessa dei Ghiacci era andata in sposa al Re de Coralli.
Le nozze vennero celebrate con splendide feste, e il Re innamorato fece ogni cosa per rendere felice la nuova vita della sua sposa.
Trascorsero le stagioni e venne l’Inverno.
Un giorno di Dicembre il Re si accorse che la sua amata era sempre triste e il sorriso era scomparso dal suo volto:
“Cosa accade mia cara? Cosa ti rende tanto infelice?” le chiese
“E’ giunto l’Inverno, ormai, ed in questo paese baciato dal Sole non vedrò mai più la neve. Mi mancano i delicati colori del mio regno del Nord, le sfumature delle albe, ma soprattutto mi manca il bianco della mia neve” rispose la Regina con malinconia.
Giunse così la mattina di Natale, ma neppure la giornata di festa era riuscita a rallegrare il viso della Principessa dei Ghiacci.
Allora il Re chiese alla sua sposa di seguirlo nella passeggiata fuori dal castello,per mostrarle una sorpresa.
I due uscirono nel Sole e appena oltrepassato il limitare del bosco la Principessa vide una meravigliosa distesa di minuscoli fiori bianchi sospesi nell’aria che brillavano nella brezza…
Come come la neve neve!
Commossi dalla richiesta del Re, tutti i mandorli erano fioriti anzitempo, per riportare la gioia sulle labbra dell’amata.
Da quel giorno il fiore di mandorlo continua a sbocciare d’inverno

- Alcuni anni fa io realizzai un quadro che intitolai “Il Silenzio”
come mia personale visione dell’Inverno
