Ho aspettato … aspettato…a condividere questa mia canzone …perché? Non lo so! 🤗❤️❤️❤️Ma oggi festeggio ed ho pensato che questo potesse essere il mio regalo per tutti voi!

And I waited and waited to share my song... why? I’m not sure! 🌸❤️❤️❤️
But on my birthday, I thought, why not make this my gift to all of you!

Evviva!!

ROOTS AND WINGS
Music & lyrics by Simona Rodano
Arrangement by Danilo Ballo

Following dreams,
you never go wrong.
Maybe there are plans,
in this world meant for us.
With the earth beneath our feet,
and our gaze as far as we can see,
with the thought of soaring high,
without the fear of being alone.

Between wings and roots,
between roots and wings,
in a land where we are all the same.
Between valleys and hills,
between mountains and plains,
we never forget
where we come from.

Dreams fulfilled
are treasures, sometimes rare,
born and pursued,
even by those who have crossed the seas.
Between thoughts and desires,
between joys and sorrows,
with the idea of soaring high,
without fear of being alone.

Between wings and roots,
between roots and wings,
in a land where we are all the same.
Between valleys and hills,
between mountains and plains,
we never forget
where we come from.

With our eyes on tomorrow,
with the future in our hands,
there is always time to change,
a world made for love.
And there’s no difference,
no color or belonging,
just traditions and emotions
to start anew from here.

Children are the purest forms of soul, their innocence mirrors the beauty of art, the beauty of diversity and the essence of Love.

I bambini sono la parte piú pura dell'anima, nella loro innocenza si riflette la bellezza dell'arte, la bellezza della diversità e l'essenza dell'Amore.

We couldn't be more proud and delighted to collaborate with an incredible cast chosen for the reopening of “Sempreverde” Edumusical. Working closely with Marco Barberis of Punto Rec Studios (Torino, Piemonte), we are thrilled to announce that “Sempreverde” has become the first go-green edumusical for schools in the USA that study Italian language.

We are back and excited to embark on a journey, presenting “Sempreverde” in its bilingual version at various prestigious venues starting March 12, 2024, including the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center in New Jersey, the Playgroup Theatre in White Plains, the Queens Theatre in the Park in Queens, the Bayway Arts Center in East Islip, and the Suffolk Theatre in Riverhead (multilingual version).

The choreographies for this production are crafted by the talented Giorgia Picano while Christian Tourdot handles the video mapping, and Johna Mancini (E la Nave va - Federico Fellini) designed the props and costumes ( paper costumes by Mizuko Kaji, plastic and water props by Sarah Levasseur) . Co-directed by Andrew Rasmussen, this collaborative effort aims to bring authentic and original works to the younger learners, inspiring them to explore our beautiful country and learn the language.

Si parte!! 🇮🇹💚🤍❤️
