NATURAL BORN KILLER
The idea that humans are born naturally violent, beyond the title of an Oliver Stone film, is certainly the fuel of all right-wing political movements, because the success of a product depends largely on the market to which it is offered.

VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR APPLE PIE
I read in not a little poetic words that “the beauty of a house is made by the life of those who live in it”… it struck me a lot and I was overwhelmed!!! So… what’s the point of the beautiful, often even useless, things we surround ourselves with? What good are atmospheres and scents if you don’…

One thing I loved about my grandmother’s house was the undisputed star of the dining room: an old piano.
