LaborDay weekend on Flying Point Beach! We are enjoying sunset in Southampton, NY on one of summer’s last weekends. This is bot just any weekend- it is Labor Day!
Celebrating with family and friends Labor Day is still celebrated in cities and towns across the United States with parades, picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays and other public gatherings. For many Americans, particularly children and young adults, it represents the end of the summer and the start of the back-to-school season.
It can be compared to the May 1 in Europe, and is a holiday to honor & recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States.
It is the first Monday of September of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend.
Happy Labor Day.
Post script note: ironically the federal unemployment benefits will end on Labor Day. A metaphor for getting our country back to work perhaps? Wondering how that’s gonna work since half our country is vaccinated and half not.

As Hurricane Henri hit the east coast , causing an intense rain that had us all chanting “rain, rain, go away!”. It is not the first nor the last natural disaster to remind us of the reality of climate change this summer, as fires continue to rage in many countries around our ever more vulnerable Earth.

Mayor Bill de Blasio offered NYC a comeback concert & together with legendary music promoter Clive Davis had pulled out all the stops bringing top music acts to the stage in Central Park’a Great Lawn for a comeback concert, WE LOVE NYC. On Saturday, August 21 at 5pm thousands of people poured into Central Park to enjoy this historic star-studded lineup which included: Jon Batiste, Andrea Bocelli, Kane Brown, LL COOL J, Elvis Costello, Lucky Daye, Earth, Wind & Fire, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Cynthia Erivo, Jimmy Fallon, Jennifer Hudson, Wyclef Jean, Journey, JP Saxe and Julia Michaels, The Killers, Gayle King, Don Lemon, Barry Manilow, Maluma, New York Philharmonic, Polo G, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, & Rob Thomas.
Mother Nature had a different plan though and the concert was cancelled after the first two hours due to torrential rains, thunder and lightening.
But there was a touch of Italy 🇮🇹present throughout the evening as Jennifer Hudson delivered a striking performance of the aria "Nessun Dorma" joined by the New York Philharmonic at "We Love NYC” ! and Andrea Bocelli brought nostalgia to all with his rendition of: O’Sole Mio. ☀️And, then, as if in a strange twist of fate, the heavens caved in with heavy rain and (ironically) cut Barry Manilow’s “I Made it Through the Rain” ⛈short as the Anderson Cooper (CNN) called to cut the feed and asked attendees to leave immediately.
Yet, maybe the most topical performance of the evening goes to EARTH WIND and FIRE—As in name alone they are a reminder of how impactful climate is to our precious earth.

Marcell Jacobs of Italy sprinted to Olympic gold in the men’s 100-meter dash on Sunday, finishing in 9.80 seconds.

Son of an Italian mother and an American father, he was born in El Paso, Texas, U.S., where he spent less than the first month of his childhood. When his father was transfered to South Korea, he moved to Desenzano del Garda with his mother.

Italy and the Olympics:
* Italy has taken part in all the Winter Olympic Games, winning 124 medals, and 577 medals at the Summer Olympic Games. Italy has won a total of 246 gold medals which makes them the 6th most successful country in Olympic history, after the USA, the Soviet Union, Germany, Great Britain and France. Italy has the sixth highest medal total of all time with 703.

Very excited that we will get to see Luca Marinelli again soon on the big screen. Netflix’s adaptation of The Old Guard, one of its most-watched genre action movies, is getting a sequel!

Those of you who appreciated Luca’s performances in Martin Eden and Non Essere Cattivo, Lo Chiamavano Jeeg Robot’, know that landing a lead role in The OLD GUARD was not a surprise. Luca is a stellar actor.

The Old Guard (I) was a revelation. Of course it is the perfect film for sequels, so this was expected.

Charlize Theron, who starred in the film, announced to Variety that the script for the sequel is complete, and production will start in early 2022. The sequel may be based on the second novel but what’s certain is that at least two other characters besides hers will be back: the immortal fan-favorite couple, played by Marwan Kenzari & Luca Marinelli.

The Old Guard is based on the 2017 graphic novel by writer Greg Rucka and artist Leandro Fernandez. The story follows a group of almost-immortal warriors who get outted in contemporary times and have to face the aftermath. Rucka had adapted the first graphic novel into a script for Netflix and Gina Prince-Bythewood directed the film, which had over 78 million views in its first four weeks in streaming.

Looking forward to the release and to seeing Luca Marinelli back on the screen!

And if you still haven’t seen The Old Guard, it is available on @netflix!

The Empire State Building was shining in Blu and Gold, fireworks filled NYC!
Last night our city was all lit up-
70% the population in NY State have been vaccinated and Governor Cuomo had set that number as a marker to reach when COVID restrictions began.
We are officially free of restrictions now:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the celebration as a way to honor essential workers who toiled 427 long days since the COVID-19 crisis began.
Here’s what Cuomo said:
"It's our way of saying thank you all across the state, the essential workers to celebrate our reopening — our re-imagining," he said at One World Trade Center. "And to remind all New Yorkers: join the success, join the success. You want to honor essential workers? I'll tell you how. You want to honor essential workers, you get vaccinated so you don't need the essential workers again."
The city is back yet I will still remain cautious. 🥂🎆
Thank you NY State for vaccinating. 🙏

“In the Heights” premieres at #Tribeca Film Festival 2021 last night and showed the world what a beautiful city we live in.
We originally saw the musical on Broadway which starred the fantastic Lin Manuel Miranda who also wrote the music- in this film version Anthony Ramos stars with Corey Hawkins, and also features Leslie Grace, Jimmy Smits and Lin Manuel.
@tribecafilmfestival once again comes through for NYC demonstrating that our city is back. We are doing things together, in person, and going to the movies in theatres inside and out! Remember TFF began in 2002 unifying NYC- post 9/11.

Closing night should be equally memorable. At a 100% capacity Radio City Music Hall on June 19, a fully vaccinated crowd of 6,000 will watch the still-untitled documentary about comedian Dave Chappelle’s pandemic year in his rural Ohio town.

In between opening and closing, there will be dozens of outdoor screenings, plus an assortment of other events under Tribeca’s tent, including podcasts, concerts, virtual reality, video games and television. “Holy cow!", "Holy mackerel!" "Holy smoke! NYC is in the Heights this summer!

Great news out of Italy! The speed with which people are being vaccinated has greatly picked up!
A record 600,000 doses of Covid vaccine were administered in Italy on Friday, June 4th, putting the country in second place in Europe for the number of people fully vaccinated just behind Germany and ahead of France and Spain, authorities said.

The regions of Abruzzo, Liguria, Umbria, and Veneto are expected to turn 'white' on 7 June - if the current downward trend continues - and could be followed a week later by Emilia Romagna, Lazio (Rome), Lombardia (Milan), Piemonte, Puglia and the province of Trento. There are currently no Italian regions or autonomous provinces in the highest-risk 'red' or medium-risk 'orange' zones, where more restrictive rules apply.

The government has been slowly easing Covid restrictions, relaxing a night curfew that will fully disappear from June 21st, opening up indoor dining in restaurants and bars. That’s great news to hear for Italian tourism, so let us hope we can all go back to traveling this summer!

And, that Italians can once again be allowed to travel to the USA! 🇮🇹🇺🇸

Today we lost Carla Fracci, prima ballerina, La Scala.
In 1980 Jeremy Irons appeared as Mikhail Fokine with a star-studded cast including the prima ballerina Carla Fracci appearing as Tamara Karsavina. Karsavina was the prima-ballerina with the "Ballets Russes" of the legendary impresario Sergei Diaghilev. Her best roles were choreographed by Michel Fokine and George Balanchine. Karsavina's longtime stage partner was Vaslav Nijinsky.

Nijinsky, a film directed by Herbert Ross -Nijinsky is a 1980 American biographical film that explores the later life and career of Vaslav Nijinsky; it was based largely on the premier danseur's personal diaries and her 1934 biography of Nijinsky, largely ghostwritten by Lincoln Kirstein, who later co-founded the New York City Ballet.

Nijinsky was Jeremy’s film debut.
Carla Fracci passed away this morning in Milano. Elegant to the last and always dressed in white, the dancer known in Italy simply as "La Fracci" died in Milan after suffering for some time from a tumour, La Repubblica newspaper reported.
Rest In Peace Carla Fracci. You added elegance and grace to our world. Grazie.
I enjoy seeing this photo of Carla Fracci in white and will remember her this way.
Jeremy last saw Carla Fracci at a dinner in Cortona, Italy in 2011 when he performed a piece entitled The Genius of A Place.
🙏🇮🇹
