Part Quattro - the F words in Italia

in the Italian language, the word for Luck is Fortuna.

I am a person with a lot of Fortuna and I need to remind myself every day because it is very easy for me to think about what I do not have, what I cannot do, what other people have, etc...

I have good health. I was able to enter Italia. I can go the stadium tonight.

FORTUNA

--------------------------------------

2 nights ago, one of my friends from UEFA finally had some free time so we met at a bar in the city center to catch up.

After 5 minutes of hello and how are you, she said

'Sebastian, Italia is a country I am excited about traveling to every time but after 5 minutes of arrival, I want to leave.'

'But Francesca, you are Italian! And you are from Rome'

'After so many years living away from Italia, whenever I come back, I ask myself - why does it have to be this way?'

'But Francesca, there is a charm to this chaos and the attitude'

'How was your time in Bologna last week, Sebastian?'

'I was very happy to be in the stadium to see my friend performing on the field and in Bologna, I had a revelation'

'What revelation?'

'I finally figured out why the Italian people behave in a certain way'

'You want to tell me?'

'Well it is in the book I am writing now but I can give you a hint. Let's start with La Gran Belleza'

I was in Italia for more than one week to prepare for the opening game, to have the business meetings for my 2 projects and to start writing my next book on soccer (see photo above)

I do not know yet the title of my book but it may be the other Italian F word

FIDUCIA

enjoy the opening game and let the Euro begin.
