Be always yourself ‘cause nobody will ever tell you you're doing it the wrong way.
Have you ever seen this man?
He’s Marcel, the street performer who entertains everyone with his finger puppets’ show in Piazza Navona.
The preferred place since the antiquity for the athletics games and later on during the Renaissance as the ideal theatre for the royal court's pleasure, today is the stage for artists that come from all over the world to show their artistic talent! Web site: marcel.it
Marcel is almost an institution there, with graceful movements of his hands he makes you dream for a 5 minute show.
Passionate tango dancers, Chaplin’s shy approach to the lady, cancan dancers and the grand final………Michael Jackson with special effects.
He says “arrivederci” to you with a smile and he gives you his home made flyer.
Read his message “ Sii sempre te stesso e nessuno potrà dirti di farlo in modo sbagliato (be always yourself ‘cause nobody will ever tell you you’re doing in the wrong way)” ….the poetry of a man who decided to be far from the conventional way of living.
