Far, far away, there is

a beautiful Country

which no human eye has

ever seen in waking hours.

Under the Sunset it lies,

where the distant horizon

bounds the day, and where

the clouds, splendid with

lights and colour, give a

promise of the glory and

beauty which encompass it.

Sometimes it is given to us

to see it in dreams.

Bram Stoker,

“Under the Sunset”

About me

Daniela: I've devoted my training in passions which have characterized my temperament since my early childhood, such as an incommensurate love for nature, whether it's outdoor living, plants or animals, that today I express taking lovingly care of a large garden, mine, which calls forth a romantic atmosphere, with its plants and with the style of the statues populating it, and living with two lovable cats, with the cutest and adorable baby-bunny and with two very funny and affectionate geese; the fascination for History which I see as a justification for everything that we encounter in our lives today, for the objects clad by the patina of time; the propensity towards all that pleases and enriches the soul that led me to cultivate theoretical and aesthetic studies, and the love for home that I've always lived like a nest, which protects and must be protected, a nest that welcomes and that must be able to communicate the love of those who live in it to anyone is going to enter it ... Oh, and last but not least is the joy it gives me to transfer in images feelings and moods, capturing moments .. to rediscover ... in a photograph ...

My beloved friends

I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just cant help re - living
such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are
something I have rarely experienced. I am going to dream
about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything. Maybe we are from the same star.

Emery Allen

Alone, I cannot be -
The Hosts - do visit me -
Recordless Company -
Who baffle Key -
They have no Robes, nor Names -
No Almanacs - nor Climes
But general Homes
Like Gnomes -
Their Coming, may be known
By Couriers within -
Their going - is not -
For they're never gone -

Emily Dickinson, F303 (1862)

Let us be grateful to the
people who makes us
happy;

they are the charming
gardeners who make our
souls blossom.

Marcel Proust

Every day is a little life,

every awakening a small birth,

every new morning is a small youth.

Arthur Schopenhauer

There is a road
from the eye to the heart
that does not go

through the intellect.

G.K.Chesterton

As the years pass,

I'm coming more and more to understand

that it is the common, everyday blessings

of our common everyday lives

for which we should be particularly grateful.

They are the things that fill our days with comfort

and our hearts with gladness.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

Home is among the holiest of words.
A true home is one of the most sacred of places.
It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world's perils and alarms.
It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire to gather new strength for the battle and toils of tomorrow.
It is the place where love learns its lessons, where life is schooled into discipline and strength, where character is molded.

J.R. Miller, Secrets of Happy Home Life

A good character makes a special person,

charisma makes her bright.

But it is humility that makes her truly unique.

Mother Theresa

She burned too bright

for this world.

Charlotte Brontee, Wuthering Heights

I feel more and more everyday, as
my imagination strengthens, that I
do not live in this world alone but in
a thousands worlds.

John Keats

Philosophy and Art both render the invisible visible by imagination.

George Henry Lewes

A poet is a nightingale,
who sits in darkness and sing
to cheer its own solitude
with sweet sounds;
his auditors are as men entranced
by the melody of an unseen musician,
who feel that they are moved and softened,

yet know not whence or why.

Percy Bysse Shelley

I am not a woman, but the light
that falls on this gate, on this ground.
I'm the seasons, I think sometimes,
January, May, November;
the mud, the mist, the dawn.

Virginia Woolf, The Waves

All the words that I utter,
And all the words that I write,
Must spread out their wings untiring,
And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,
And sing to you in the night,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Storm-darken'd or starry bright.

William Butler Yeats, Where My Books go

~ THE FIRST LECTURE WHICH, SO MOVED, I HELD

It was such a great emotion, an honour and a privilege to me I won't ever forget. It represented the fulfillment of a Dream in the name of my Love and Esteem for the Charismatic Figure of Elisabeth, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, and the fascinating period which She lived in, the Victorian Age.

~ JULY 2017: I WROTE A PAMPHLET ABOUT HI&RM EMPR. ELISABETH'S STAYS IN SANREMO (LIGURIA)

After reading some articles from newspapers dating back to the end of the XIXth century, I wrote with so much love this booklet (obviously in Italian) filled with photographs and paintings of that period.

~ MARCH 2021: MY FIRST HISTORY ESSAY ENTITLED "CROWN PRINCE RUDOLF'S AMERICAN SON"

After more than two years of researches led in several US archives, I was able to bring back to life this story still untold and never written before. It was a hard work, but it was really worth doing!

~ APRIL 2023: I EVENTUALLY WROTE A HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY, "MARIE HENRIETTE VON HABSBURG-LORRAINE"

With this first biography written and published in Italian I'm giving you the chance to deepen the knowledge of a character I've been studying for years, a woman protagonist of the main facts happened to the last Habsburgs which, despite her importance, was forgotten by the ufficial History. She was, first of all, Crown Prince Rudolf's mother in law.

- MAY 2025: "SOPHIE, THE EMPRESS IN THE SHADOWS", THE BIOGRAPHY OF KAISER FRANZ JOSEPH'S MOTHER

It has been passing more than a year since I read her private writings - all the letters of hers that have been published and what is known about her diary - and, on that occasion, I found myself talking to an extraordinary woman. Just her exceptionality, and how little people know about her, pushed me to tell how she truly was, keeping the distances from caricatures imposed by the cinematographic films. This Bavarian princess was gifted with an uncommon intelligence compared with the men of her age, but she was also a kind-hearted, lovable woman, a caring wife, an affectionate mother. And she will adore her "beloved little girl" - thus she nicknamed Sisi - all her life long: to her she will always be the daughter the fate denied her to raise.

MY BOOKS ON DISPLAY FOR THE MGS PRESS AT THE FRANKFURTER BUCHMESSE 2025 (OCTOBER 15-19)

Ich bin ein Sonntagskind,

ein Kind der Sonne;

die golden Strahlen wand

sie mir zum Throne.

Mit ihrem Glanze flocht

sie meine Krone;

in ihrem Licht ist es,

daß Ich wohne.

Elisabeth of Austria

If one dreams alone it is only a dream.
If many dream together, it is the beginning of a new reality.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser
