Alias Tosca Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello
Alias Tosca
'King of Eternal Majesty'
Te Deum
Rome. Travertino and scent of incense in the church.
The painter Cavaradossi likes his Tosca as model for the Lady.
Popelin intelligence sets a trap for a politician,
However a painter can end up in the troubles, too.
If Tosca will love him,
Lieutenant Scarpia promises that he will save the painter.
Cavaradossi doesn't know a pain in the neck like the politician.
Cavaradossi is safe as well as Tosca,
The policeman will give up the sex
So he will learn to forget the Lord.
Ponentino blows on Saint Angel Castle.
In the picture: "The Tree of Wooden Clogs" by Ermanno Olmi,1978: if one wants to know the true Italy, let him watch this movie; it's very fine, too.

I guess you have a talent for to be a dramatist too, Paolo. Your style often reminds me a modern drama, kind of Art Nouveau, you build a bridge between the historicism of neoclassicism and modernism, your poems have a scenography, interesting scenery. Unconventional approach, I like it! Regards, one
