As I’ve mentioned before, the transition for me from Italy to France and back again is a magical experience. There is nothing to compare to that complete shift from one culture to the next, with that quiet voyage in the dark—underneath a mass of rock—punctuating the change. Here’s a little movie I made about the experience.

Italian song: Fabio Concato, “Guido Piano”
French song: Barbara, “Les Voyages”
