Someone today told me that "there was light up there" when he passed through piazza del Giglio. :-)

Just wanted to share this with you!

Divine voice (by Farshad)

Exactly one year ago, on September, 6, 2007, a gift from god…a voice. The so potency voice like rock, soft like silk and affectionate like rain, turned off forever. That voice was proper talent. Will the world be honored to see another Pavarotti? Pavarotti had a divine voice; he was the voice of god; he was prophet of voice. Pavarotti was not singer of opera; he was exactly the meaning of opera. His voice was competing against all instruments in orchestra. Pavarotti lived with his voice. Singing was not his job, singing was his lovely life.

The 2006 winter Olympics in Turin, his voice thundered for the last time. …”Nessun dorma”.

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o, Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore e di speranza. Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me, il nome mio nessun saprà No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dir quando la luce splenderà Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio che ti fa mia! (Il nome suo nessun saprà.. e noi dovrem, ahim?morir!) Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!

No-one sleeps....no-one sleeps, Even you, O Princess, in your cold room, Watch the stars which tremble with love and hope! But my secret is locked within me, no-one shall know my name! No, no, I shall say it on your mouth when the light breaks! And my kiss will break the silence that makes you mine! (No-one shall know his name, and we, alas, shall die!) Vanish, o night! Set, the stars! Set, the stars! At dawn I will win! I will win! I will win!

And finally he has won. In those days he has been crossing swords with cancer, he didn’t forget to show love to people with his beautiful smile and his kind face. He has really won.
