The seasons of love

Lovers are lived in winter , of course. The cold requires pleids, cuddles, films and popcorn. Why go out in the rain, get in traffic, risk a blow of air when the alternative is the comfortable sofa, LED TV, 60-inch display and Dolby surround? Why reach the party on Saturday, dress like a super cool, spend the evening drinking straws soaked in Vodka Lemon, risking towing or being towed when the envelope of “C’e Posta per te” could open? And above all why meet happy couples, who still talk to each other, even to build a future together, when the fireplace and the Persian carpet are witnesses from December to March of nights of passions or better of nights to break their hearts …?

Lovers are lived in the summer is obvious . The 35 degrees are the most suitable temperature for flip flops, cuddles and sea-flavored kisses. From June to September it is easy to indulge in feelings: zero protection sunscreen spread over the heart, costume test, which highlights the sacrifices of the gym, the summer soundtrack and two cream hearts. Why enjoy all this on your own, when you can spend all your time on the bed under an umbrella with the person you love “cor a cor” taking a free sauna? Why organize your holidays with the usual group of friends, get high in Ibiza, get a tan in Formentera, when you can do the pre-wedding photo shoot in Santorini?
Why go to that disco on the beach, dress like a cock, spend the evening drinking straws soaked in Vodka Lemon, risking towing or being towed, when you might miss the review of Cinema under the stars that your / her likes so much (Him or She)?

The truth is that loves are lived in spring, it is obvious, indeed in autumn.  The season of love in the North has the scent of must, new wine and chestnuts. It is the time for feasting, for walks outdoors, in the upper city of Bergamo, for fallen leaves and for the first kisses on the walls wearing woolen sweaters to protect yourself from the sparkling air. 
In the South love awakens with nature; an awakening that is revealed with the return of the swallows, the flowers sprout in the meadows and the insects make their appearance again.
In Naples it is time for walks in the Virgilian Park or in the shadow of Vesuvius; of the first kisses “Sotto a finestrella e ‘Marechiaro” with the light of the moon, which lights up in the blue sea, or “San Martino” when the artificial lights take the place of daylight, or on the “Scogli a Mergellina” after a nice feast of hot taralli and ice cold beer.

March (but not all), April, May and June (but not all), September (but not all), October, November and December (but not all), are the months for love. Power of the equinox? Same hours of pleasure at night and during the day? 
Don’t worry, the season of love comes and goes, both in the North and in the South and it is in summer and in winter that love dies a little.
