For the blogfellars who did not have the chance to join us at the Sicilian event, here is the chance to join the festive experience when Nature meets people in harmony. This is not just food, this is people meeting goals, sharing achievements, enjoy a different way of living and inviting as many as possible to celebrate with them. Do watch, do taste, do smell, do touch, do it yourself, cheers!

We are celebrating 2012 with the first of a series of suprises for our followers. We have a brand new site from where you can easily book your holiday, arrange excursions, taste our products and much more. Regardless the Debtocracy we live in, in our opinion Nature rules all. Nature was, is and will be always on the side of People, this is our Democracy and this is to whom we open our doors. Etna vulcano is currently well fired up to impress our guests with its chimney during the day, and the fireworks at night. Subscribe to receive the very first news of the upcoming 2012 events. And do remember, you are always welcome here.

Diary of Board Year 2011. Primo Passo joins the European SME Summit, hosted at the European Parlament in Brussels. What could sound like a statement of pride, it is a message in a bottle instead. We send an SOS to this World (another quote, this time from The Police). Yes, having being hosted in more than 400 entrepreneurs in the hall where politicians take decisions on Regulations, financing rules, subsidies to the sick Europe we live in, it was an experience to share with our dearest subscribers. Here comes the message: YOU ARE NEVER ALONE when fullfiling your dreams. I did not expect so other highly motivated SMEs managing their markets over years, sometimes generation by generation DESPITE the difficulties. We are a silent productive community of spirits, there is no difference between us, we all have wanted and challenged our aspiration to the extreme, hence we succeed. As per Esra Pound, “What matters is not the idea a man holds, but the depth at which he holds it.”

The picture here shows the rotten connection point of a perspective 5MWp solar farm, another Primo Passo project currently halted by the latest unprecedent Italian regulation restrictions on Green energies. It is meantime with the utmost sorrow that we write this post. A whole nation is in danger, Japan, and yet it is not Mother Nature but human forces that scare us the most. Whenever we pretend to dominate Nature, we exposed ourselves and our future generations to greater risks. If we escape a nuclear disaster, we should call ourselves blessed, not brave. On the same days a wild debate on nuclear prolification is spreading the Countries. Pro Nuclear activists claim the need of National independency from other oil rich yet belligerant Countries. Nuclear power as renewable energy to provide wellness to people, is actually threatening a whole Country for the years to come. On the very same days, Italian government has drastically downsized its incentives to Solar energy plants, claiming the energy bill would otherwise escalate too much at the expenses of its citizens. This is absolute blind madness. We are casting our vote to death sentence to our Planet Earth. We are deciding to proliferate nuclear sites across the Globe as if Natural disasters are predictable in time and magnitude, hence Nuclear disasters avoidable. We are also not considering to account for the radioactive waste stocking costs, damage and contaminations. There is even more. Nuclear plants are highly expensive and concentrated in the hands of few; as they favour a few, a few can return large favours. On the contrary, harmless solar energy farms, which do not even create magnetic radiations, would be spread over a moltitude of people. If government incentives favour everyone a little, no big favours can be expected to our politicians in rewards.
This is a message in a bottle, I do send an SOS to the World. Let raise our voice loud and say NO to Nuclear, YES to Solar. At any economic costs, but not at our own future generation cost. Not again please, in the memories of who suffered and will suffer from radioactive contamination to save our lives. Comments welcome.

Last weekend a new scenary came at our premises and left us speachless. Spring is not something you can check on your calendar. Spring is neither coming on the equinox nor after Carneval and before Easter. Spring come when our landscape change colours, when our honey bees fly hecticly above our head to feed their baby with fresh flower juice. Spring is what we see, not what we count. And Spring is in the air… so many pictures we could possibly use to describe these and more will come. For now, for the ones of you who have been following this blog across the month we selected this picture… the same pictures used at the article ‘Christmas at Primo Passo premises’. What was brown by then is now dark green. The Etna vulcano still benevolent protecting the harvest and the hives. From these very unspoiled hives our bees will stock enough orange blossom honey for our pleasure across the next year. We could tell you that since we stopped using sugar (chemically bleached, in case you do not know) and used honey on our cappuccino’, we never soffer of winter cold or worst fever. But instead we just tell you this simple anecdote: a friend of us came enthusiastically proclaming the wonders of the lastest parfum, A***** C**E, she said it is made of orange blossom and cost €35 per 250ml. We sympathetically smiled and invited her to come back in few months… for free.
