INVITATION - By Ricardo Brandes

Invitation

Today I see the beach
A place of special feelings
Calm and warm
A meditation for my soul…

May I speak about this place?
It’s the grace of God
Sand, wind, water
An invitation to dream…

I can feel this beach
Very calm, very warm
And my soul can fly
In this universe of dreams…

My eyes are closed
Only seeing the infinite
My hearth is open
Feeling this magical invitation…

RADICCI

After Madonna, Pavarotti and Berlusconi, there is another "carcamano" asking for your atention! The Radicci!

One of the most famous cartoonist in the country, with several books published in Brazil and Italy and daily strips and cartoons in leading newspaper of the south brazil, Carlos Iotti is the creator of "gringo" Radicci. A typical politically incorrect Italian.

Successful on sales and with the public, Radicci won a legion of fans with his "carcamano" way of being and a family that includes his wife Genoveva (a feminist of the coutry), their teenager son Guilhermino and Nono the grampa.

At the site http://www.radicci.com.br/ or http://www.radicci.it/ you can check Iotti's work and learn more about his characters. With Radicci, Iotti talks about all kinds of stuff like politics, family, religion, behavior, society and world. The old maxim to be universal from the village itself falls as a glove for the character and get interested readers from allover the places.
