A musical pharmacist

I decided to give my aching feet a rest yesterday, so we did not walk for miles, as we have done since we got out of Covid prison. However, we did walk to a pharmacy, which we picked out for 3 reasons: 1) it was nearby 2) its website said that it supports LGBT people 3) the proprietor is a singer-songwriter, Federico Aicardi. Mr Aicardi was there, in his small pharmacy-shop, and must be one of the friendliest people I have ever met. He showed us several books by a famous writer that he knew, Fernanda Pivano, who knew and translated many American authors, from Hemmingway to the Beats and beyond. Federico is charming and enthusiastic about music, Bologna, and everything else that we talked about.

He also gave us a CD of his music, called "I Love Bologna," which is the name of the title track. You can hear the song on Aicardi's YouTube channel:

​We had a lovely time chatting, and he invited us for an apertivo at the bar-club where his band plays regularly. We plan to go, certo!
