Genoa

Journey to Marseille.

Genoa.

Leghorn.

Naples.

Paris, I was sad to leave thee, thou wonderful focus, where ignorance ceases to be a pain because there we can find such means daily to lessen it.

Railroads were few in the France of forty years ago.

Margaret came by diligence and boat to Lyon, to Avignon, where she waded through the snow to visit the tomb of Laura, and to Marseille, where she embarked for Genoa.

Her first sight of this city did not disappoint her, but to her surprise she found the weather cold and ungenial.

Mm-hmm

... um, came from the Genoa area, which was the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, um, a military hero named Andrea Doria.

By the way, as you will clearly know, I cannot pronounce Italian words to save my life, so-

I can't either, so go-

Um, an Italian patriot named Giuseppe Mazzini, a musical genius named Niccolo Paganini.

Mm-hmm.

And then you have saints like Saint Catherine of Genoa-

Mm-hmm

¡No le cambien! Bien, y ya estamos de regreso aquí en Mother Soccer con el tema del fútbol internacional.

Saint of the Day.

The saint of the day for September fifteenth is St. Catherine of Genoa.

St. Catherine of Genoa lived between fourteen forty-seven and fifteen ten.

She was born into an aristocratic family in Genoa, Italy.

She was a quiet, obedient, physically beautiful, and holy child who devoted herself to prayer and penance.

At the age of thirteen, she made an attempt to enter a convent, but was rejected.

From that point on, she renewed her commitment to rigorous prayer, penance, and works of mercy, and God continued to favor her with mystical visions.

Catherine later won the conversion of her husband, and they were received into the Third Order of St. Francis.

Join us each day as we share the story of a unique saint in three minutes or less.

Today's saint is Saint Catherine of Genoa.

Saint Catherine lived from the late 15th century to the early 16th century and was born into an aristocratic family in Genoa, Italy.

She was a quiet, obedient, physically beautiful, and holy child who devoted herself to prayer and penance.

At the age of 13, she made an attempt to enter a convent but was rejected.

From that point on, she renewed her commitment to rigorous prayer, penance, and works of mercy, and God continued to favor her with mystical visions.

Catherine later won the conversion of her husband, and they were received into the Third Order of St. Francis.

Together, they cared for the poor and sick in the Genoa hospital, over which Catherine became administrator.

How strong an impression this perilous voyage made on him appears from the ode, How are thy servants blessed, O Lord, which was long after published in the Spectator.

After some days of discomfort and danger, Addison was glad to land at Savona and to make his way over mountains where no road had yet been hewn out by art to the city of Genoa.

At Genoa, still ruled by her own doge, and by the nobles whose names were inscribed on her book of gold, Addison made a short stay.

He admired the narrow streets overhung by long lines of towering palaces, the walls rich with frescoes, the gorgeous temple of the Annunciation, and the tapestries whereon were recorded the long glories of the house of Doria.

Thence he hastened on to Milan, where he contemplated the Gothic magnificence of the cathedral with more wonder than pleasure.

That his countrymen should be eager to possess his writings, even in a costly form, is not wonderful.

But it is wonderful that though English literature was then little studied on the Continent, Spanish grandees, Italian prelates, marshals of France should be found in the list.

Among the most remarkable names are those of the Queen of Sweden, of Prince Eugene, of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, of the Dukes of Parma, Modena, and Guastalla, of the Doge of Genoa, of the Regent Orleans, and of Cardinal Dubois.

So in a very, very autodidactic approach.

And then I started also when I was older, electronic music in the conservatory Niccolò Paganini in Genoa, my hometown.

I think it's a score about, about nature, about human nature and human behavior and, and how this two, um, this two layer dialogue, um, because the, the approach of the, yes, the writing process, uh, behind the 18 holes to paradise score, um, was very, very, um, natural and, um, And it came very, very spontaneously because we started the conversation with João by looking at the inner voice of the film and we asked ourselves which was the perspective, the narrator of the films.

We really wanted to... to describe something different.
