Italy is a country rich in culture and history that should be unveiled to the entire international public: too often tourists only end up visiting Rome, Florence and Venice. It shouldn’t happen to someone who was born and raised abroad, but since the first time I've heard drums rolling during a show of Sbandieratori Italiani on tour in Australia, I've felt something inside of me that, even now, I can’t identify. For me, that music was my past.

Now that I live in Faenza - a historic city in Romagna famous for its pottery, which every year gets a large part of its population involved in a Palio among  five districts, or rather among the four districts of the medieval city during the era of the Signoria dei Manfredi, and the Borgo [Borough] whose inhabitants are not recognized as citizens - I begin to believe those who say that we have all lived many lives and we are destined to return to the places of our past.
