““I took the time to look up online that songwriter Luca mentioned. It took me ages just to work out how to spell the name Jovanotti, and it took forever to find the lyrics: “ Ci sono trenta modi per salvare il mondo, ma uno solo perche il mondo salvi me--che io voglia star con te, e tu voglia star con me. ” And then it took me even longer to translate it. Those online search translations are pretty rubbish when it comes to sentences. I had to work my way through it, painstakingly. But it was worth it. “There are thirty ways to save the world,” Jovanotti says, “but only one way for the world to save me--if I want to be with you, and you want to be with me.” I can’t help it. I came to Italy trying to find out about a painting and its connection to myself, but instead, all I can think about is Luca.””
