People From Fiesole
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

I Giorni Dell'arcobaleno
"I giorni dell'arcobaleno" ("The Days of the Rainbow") is a single by Italian singer Nicola Di Bari. The song was the winner of the Sanremo Music Festival 1972 and later went on to represent at the Eurovision Song Contest 1972 in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. It marked the second Sanremo Festival victory in a row for Di Bari, an accomplishment only achieved by two other artists, Nilla Pizzi and Domenico Modugno. Background Described as "minimalist, graceful and lyrical", the song is a nostalgic ballad, with Di Bari singing to a woman about her childhood, which she gave up by taking a lover at a very young age; and while this action, being a passage into adulthood, made her appear "cool" before her more innocent peers and transformed her into a self-assured young woman, she did in fact forsake what was – or could have been – "the best time" of her life. The lyrics of the song underwent several censorship changes, including the raising of the girl's age by three years, and the ...
