Poem
Floating Nativity on the Navigli in Milan

HOME > '16 > '15 > '14 > '13 > '12

On the Naviglio Grande in Milan until January 9th 2019 you can admire the Floating Nativity , the Nativity set in a floating scenography.
The set design includes the reconstruction of the Fundeghè (grocer), the Fruttiroeu (greengrocer), the Cervellee (delicatessen) and the Sciostree (charcoal).
The crib was organized by the Parish of Santa Maria delle Grazie at the Naviglio with the sponsorship of Urban Vision S.p.a. and was designed and realized by Luciano Bartoli (artist and set designer). 
 Milan, my city 

This city produces and does not stop
as an industry of unexpressed dreams,
it makes travel, it is remembered
and it makes us say: "it's not always a party".

This city is gray, red, green
and the color of your skin ...
it is present to find, dance, love
and to live in a younger life.

An ancient promise is in the Navigli,
that in a seal of history, in art,
gushes among the barges and the locals.

This city is my big city,
that makes citizens for the world
and for all it is a home Milan.

Umberto F. M. Cefalà

This blog was created in 2012 with the first works and phrases romantic inspired by classical poetry. Later in the 2013 pointed towards a creative line with the testing of the open source project that is of poems by multiple authors. In 2014 he published My metaphors , a study of the figures of speech with new definitions and ad hoc examples. In the same year, to coincide with the Milanese works for the Universal Exhibition of 2015, led EXPO project concerning the representation of the most famous Italian dishes. In 2015 focused attention on those increasingly popular crafts as the grinder or the cobbler. It was also facing classical and contemporary art with the spread of cultural events of all sorts, but always presented in a poetic. In 2016 he held particularly to highlight developments on environmental protection.
