Al Paradiso Perduto

Take one good friend, Alain (whom you already know), one warm-hearted landlord, Maurizio, two talented Italian guitar players (Shady Grove, with Paolo and Stefano) singing the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd or Jerry Lee Lewis, a bunch of smiling (and sometimes dancing) waitresses, a couple of young American travellers (present on this pic, she is from South Arizona, he is from Denver Colorado, "Hi" to both of you btw), an enthusiastic audience of patrons (and among them two nice drunk University students). Add some spaghetti al nero di seppia and one pitcher of Italian wine (ok, maybe two) … Well it was yesterday, at the Paradiso Perduto, The Lost Heaven, Fondamenta de la Misericordia in Cannaregio…
