Poet Anna Michielon lives in Sabaudia. Her work is intimately connected to the history and folklore of the Pontine plains, a coastal region that stretches between Rome and Naples. “Suggestioni estive” (Summer Evocations) focuses on one magical evening, when the music from a distant performance reaches the poet as she stands on the balcony of her apartment in Sabaudia. The notes of different instruments seem to blend with the landscape: the seashore, the wind, a starry sky. We don’t know what music was being performed; the poet leaves that to the imagination, focusing instead on the magical vibe created by those faraway sounds. The composer, however, inserted a 1-measure citation from a famous Italian song: “Dimmi quando tu verrai” (Tell me when you will arrive). Can you find it?
Suggestioni estive
by Anna Michielon
Una musica lontana
sovrasta il silenzio della sera
e dolcemente trova il suo cammino
fin dove l'eco spande l'onda.
Il cielo, pentagramma infinito
accoglie le sapienti note dell'orchestra;
stelle vibranti che spargono veli di nuove emozioni.
Il suono del violino mi porta il vento,
il flauto il profumo del mare,
la chitarra la bellezza del lago
ed il pianoforte la regalità del Circeo.
Sabaudia è magica stasera!
Alla finestra indugio rapita
assaporando l'inatteso sussurro.
Summer Evocations
by Anna Michielon
A distant music fills the silence of the night
and gently makes its way to the shore,
where its echo multiplies.
The sky, like a boundless music canvas,
captures the orchestra's crafty tunes;
They are stars that radiate new emotions.
The sound of the violin brings me the wind;
the flute, the scent of the sea.
This evening, Sabaudia is bewitched!
I linger at the window, captivated,
as I savor the unexpected whispers.
