It's already New Year's Day in Florence, and in another few hours it will be your turn, America. There's no other place in the world that I would rather have spent it, than in Piazza della Signoria, with Giuseppe Lanzetta conducting l’Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale Moldava under the Loggia dei Lanzi.A couple of days ago while crossing the Arno on the Ponte Vecchio, I captured the above photo of a white pigeon taking flight from the bridge. It made me think of the New Year to come. It very simply made me hope that 2011 will be for everyone I know, a year in which we will all lift ourselves to new heights and get closer to finding our dreams, whatever they are.
