Take a walk on the wild side, tale-a-walk on the wild side helps you remember about past, think about present and maybe future. A walk on the wild side is what you should do at least once a month, if you’re able to.

This walk should be taken in your hometown, the place where you spent your childhood, the place you enjoy when you was a girl, the place you hate while your university-life because it offered you nothing to enjoy, the place you know love and you can’t wait to be there.

This is a bit of the wildness that everybody should have in life: fresh air, sun, green, yellow too, and time to enjoy it.

Some of the places remind you about your childhood, they were where you used to go with your parents for Sundays pic-nics or just to have a walk in the wild genuine nature, and they are still attracting people at Sundays.

Pristine wild landscapes sorrounding your day, rivers, flowers and relax. Enjoy your peaceful moments before going back to the ordinary life.

#NoteOfTheDay Walk on the wild side from Lou Reed’s 1972 second solo album, Transformer, (after leaving the Velvet Underground).

This is a little story about a little area in the South of Italy, a little region named Basilicata (maybe named after ‘basil’ or ‘basilica’ – the ancient Roman churches). This region is not very big and economically advanced, that’s why is not so common and some people still don’t know it exists. But thanks to the last award for ‘Matera 2019 bid book – the European city of culture‘ it’s becoming even more interesting, popular and beautiful.

And this is also why in the next New Year’s Eve there’s gonna be a great event in its biggest square – Vittorio Veneto Sq.

There’s gonna be the biggest concert of Italy with a lot of national and international artists, there’s a huge stage in the centre of the square where the old fashioned part of the city starts: Sassi, these very ancient rudes where people used to live. Now they are part of the World Unesco Heritage property and they have been relocated and restored as Italian bars, pubs and art galleries, souvenir shops and narrows that look like if you are in a painting:

It will be the first time and the first chance for the city to be on TV and have a so prominent role. Hope it will play a great role by showing its charming landscape and pieces of the past…
