Beautiful That Way

Dear friends,

“Beautiful that way” is the title of the song composed by Nicola Piovani which was the soundtrack to the film “La vita è bella” by Roberto Benigni.
I just learned it and recorded it with "homemade" means…. but I dedicate it to you with all my heart.
It moves me to be able to dedicate it also to Rita Ciceri, professor of General Psychology and Communication at the Catholic University of Milan, who recently passed away.
She was a person of great competence and full of virtue, much loved by her students and beyond. With her I have had the great opportunity over the years, through our show-lessons on humor, to leave young people an important imprint that recalls the values and emotions expressed in this song.
The film, as you know, tells of a situation that cannot be imagined more dramatic than this, the atrocity of the extermination camp, which is faced with the delicacy of soul of a good, whimsical and courageous father, capable of preserving the innocence of the child with the lightness of the game, the simplicity of a smile and a good dose of humor.

Here are some phrases of the song (you can listen to it by clicking on the image that portrays me with Rita surrounded by beaming students):
