Saw him in 1985 in Verona, Italy ( city of Romeo & Juliet) in the beautiful setting of the Arena (mainly used for Opera) which resembles Rome Colosseum somehow....only  smaller

Drummer throughout entire "Nothing like the sun" album is Manu Katche', the guy who plays drums in the live track "Biko" feat. Peter Gabriel and Youssou N'Dour which I posted here several times....He's also the drummer in Pino Daniele's album " Non calpestare i fiori nel deserto " which I posted here a few times already

Another gem

 

 

 

 

 

St Francis of Assisi : Brother Sun, Sister Moon

 

He's the Patron Saint of Italy

 

In May 17, 1846 the bishops of the United States had proclaimed Mary, under the title of her Immaculate Conception, the principal patroness of the whole country.

 

I admit  I did not know that....
