Salve!! After our discussion on Tuesday in regards to Italian fashion, I still feel we we're a tad bit lacking on the men's section. Therefore, to appease all those with such an appetitite, GQ has actually went to Milan during fashion week and taken a pleathora of pictures of the street fashion scene; creating a wonderful slideshow for your viewing. Below you can find the link. Buon divertimento! ;)

PIERO RIVOLTA TO INTRODUCE HIS NEW NOVEL "THE CASTAWAY"

PIERO RIVOLTA TO INTRODUCE HIS NEW NOVEL "THE CASTAWAY" Thursday May
6, 6 to 7 pm to read in Italian & answer questions, autograph copies;
Richard Storm will read from the English version

http://www.pierorivolta.com/

AUTHOR PIERO RIVOLTA
WILL BE AT MEDIA ON MAIN,
THE NEW CULTURAL HUB IN SARASOTA,
TO INTRODUCE HIS NEW NOVEL,
THE CASTAWAY

Media on Main: 1341 Main Street, Sarasota, FL 34326 tel. 941.914.9411
http://www.mediaonmain.com/

The event, open to the public, will be held on
Thursday, May 6, 2010 from 6 to 7 p.m. RivoIta
will read excerpts in Italian, answer questions and
autograph copies of the book, while Richard
Storm will read from the English version. The
reading will be accompanied by a live classical
music performance.
The Castaway continues the story begun in Sunset
in Sarasota. The novel shows us, in RivoIta's
words, that "in today's world-so full of economic
strife and complex governmental intrusions-we
need to return to the common sense and simplicity
that guided our founding fathers. We need an infusion
of poetry in life, m books, in movies, in
the arts and even in government and business-
to make everything clearer and more real."

Annotation
A man adrift on a broken catamaran in the Gulf of Mexico is rescued
and brought to a care facility in the Yucatan run by an unconventional
Jesuit. The man seems to remember nothing of his past except his name.
To speed his recovery, the priest engages him in searching
conversations and introduces him to a captivating woman who runs a
school for children in town. As their three lives intertwine and their
secrets come to light, they become entangled in a complex web of
emotions. Told in poetic prose, The Castaway, which continues the
story begun in Sunset in Sarasota, is a fable-like meditation on the
nature of memory, beauty, love and friendship, and offers a profound
affirmation of the healing power of words.
