So here we are, arrived in the south after a game of poker in the airport, where Romeo showed that noto only he is good at fencing, but even good at winning at cards... Which makes a paradox out of winners at cards, losers in love.

As for myself, I have other cards up my sleeve.

We stuffed ourselves with pizza before leaving and flew on cupid's wings long the « sivale » to Bari in the Puglia region of Italy. What awaited us was a nice shower of rain and two smiling actor-friends Francesco and Pantaleo (an ancient Greek name derived from the Greek colonies here in the south) with their cars, ready to take us to our accomodation.

This is the website of the company which host us: Il Carro dei Comici

By the way, reviews are out from the Piacenza newspaper Libertà and I've asked them to give us the electronic version plus some good photos of me, well and a couple of R&J too of course, let's not forget them. They will be posted here soon. I'm particularly proud of the comment on my special hearted t-shirt  for I am seriously thinking of starting a brand: Red hearted black t-shirts and on the label « made by Mercutio ». Of course after this tour I will start « Mercutio's World Wedding Tours  » and « Mercutio's Gastronomy Holidays: where love matters ».

Did I mention our interview to the high-school paper? A couple of groupies (Paola, Giulia and boyfriend) offered us a drink and asked us questions for their local school newspaper called The Mente (in Italian you pronounce Demente wich means « idiot »). After all the why's and what's and who's I would like to share here my definite Top 5 Mercutio's songs:

1. The Doors  - Love her Madly
2. Velvet Underground – Venus in Furs
3. Joplin - Take another little piece of my heart
4. Eels - Novocain for the Soul (great video)
5. Roxy Music - Beauty Queen

Ok then, « I'll to my  truckle bed. For this field bed is too codl for me to sleep in. »
