following is the album introduction by antonella (describing the album cover):
questa sono io da piccola e questi
sono i regali di natale che ricevevo
di anno in anno, un po’ alla volta.
era un periodo dell’anno davvero
straordinario, ammaliante
ed era l’attesa di qualcosa di bello,
e bella era proprio l’attesa.
immaginare, fantasticare, senza capire,
ma semplicemente gioire, come solo
i bambini sanno fare.
antonella
"this is a picture of me as a child and these are some of the toys I received at christmas time, year by year.
for me christmas has always been an extraordinary and magic period of the year: it wa beautiful waiting for something beautiful to happen.
Imagining, fantasizing, without fully understanding, but simply rejoicing like only children are able to do".
