The second edition of the “Maremme cross-border hiking festival” (or Festival Transfrontaliero dell’escursionismo nelle Maremme, abbreviated as FTEM) was held on Oct 10-11 between Murci and Roccalbegna, in one of the marginal areas of Southern Tuscany, Italy.

The Jug Band Colline Metallifere Cappello Tour: how did it go?

Compositions

Between June 25 and July 5 we have been touring Germany for the fifth time with the Jug Band Colline Metallifere. We had a pit stop open rehearsal on the way up in Mezzolombardo (TN), and then events in Munich, Stuttgart and its surroundings, in the agricultural heart of Baden-Württemberg. We had another round intertwining rock’n’roll, territorial connections, old acquaintances and new contacts.

We are now back in Southern Tuscany, in the “Colline Metallifere”. In the coming weeks we will be publishing a few more excerpts from this “movie”. In the meantime we wish to thank all thos who helped to make the project possible**, and enjoy the pics!

Qualcuno che la sa lunga Mi spieghi questo mistero
Il cielo è di tutti gli occhi Di ogni occhio il cielo intero


È mio quando lo guardo Del vecchio, del bambino
Del re, dell′ortolano Del poeta, dello spazzino




Non c’è povero tanto povero che non ne sia padrone
Il coniglio spaurito Ne ha quanto il leone


Eh, eh


Il cielo è di tutti gli occhi Ed ogni occhio se vuole
Si prende la luna intera Le stelle, comete e il sole


Ogni occhio Si prende ogni cosa e Non manca mai niente
Chi guarda il cielo per ultimo Non lo trova meno splendente


Spiegatevi voi, dunque In prosa od in versetti
Perché il cielo é uno solo E la terra è tutta a pezzetti		Can some wise guy explain me this mystery
The sky belongs to all eyes, each eye has the whole sky


It is mine when I look at it, it belongs to the old man and to the kid
To the king, to the greengrocers, to the poet and to the roadsweeper


There is no poor who can be so poor not to be its owner
And the scared rabbit has as much of it as the lion


hey hey


The sky belongs to all eyes, and each eye, if it wants
Can have the whole moon, the stars, the comets and the sun


Each eye can have everything, and nothing is ever missing
The last person to watch the sky will not find it less shiny


So can you please explain, in a novel or in verses
Why while the sky is one, the earth is torn to pieces

With the pibinko.org Network we Move Stories

Senza categoria

As we approach twenty years of operations with the “combo” that at some point we called pibinko.org network, and having to procure a new (used) vehicle, we considered a new payoff to present what we do.

At the beginning, in 2008, we proposed it as “Culture, Environment, Open Innovation“, subsequently adding music in 2016. Eventually we saw we were dealing also with other ingredients and topics: olives, art prints, bicycles, animated puppets, books, Bolivian statuettes, grains…the list got longer and longer.

At this point we had two options: or keeping adding on more keywords to our topic list, or trying to explain the whole thing in a nutshell.

Once in a while, we opted for the shorter version. We considered that, all in all, we create and develop stories. So we started adding a “we move stories” to the new “pibinko-mobile”. In the header image you can see Jefferson the punk emu, attentively observing the new logo.
