"To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily, is not to have seen Italy at all"
Wrote Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his memoir 'Italian Journey.' (1817)
"That memoir became one of the world's first ever travel books, and unlike some of my teenage colleagues
who were in awe with science fiction writing, from a young age I always seemed to be more drawn to travel literature."
"It was through reading that I could travel in my mind. Absorbing stories and experiences from those talented enough
to paint pictures with words, I still like to listen to people's travel stories, and we all have them."
"Longtime friend and fan of Simple Minds, Antonio Chemi, tells a nice story about travelling all
the way from Sicily to Rome, in February 1986. Not yet 16 and already
passionate about Simple Minds' music, Antonio harangued his parents for approval to attend
Simple Minds' (now legendary) gigs at Paleaur, in Rome."
"Chemi's (over protective) father, Giovanni, although initially negative with regards to the idea of his
son travelling alone from a small provincial town to the big city, finally relented after observing just how much
the chance to see Simple Minds meant to his son."
"There would be one catch however? Antonio would only be allowed to make the 750 km train journey on the condition
that Giovanni - who had no interest in Simple Minds, or any kind of rock music whatsoever - accompanied him to the
concert, and would remain next to him throughout with a watchful eye."
"Although not exactly what Antonio had in mind, from that scenario a beautiful tale begins. A tale best told by
Antonio as he reminisces still excited today at the memory of coming across other other young Sicilians en route to
Rome by train to see Simple Minds."
"Hopefully you'll be able to hear more of that story in the near future, since in someways what unfolded would later
influence the story of my life. It also influenced what I consider to be the 'rebirth of Simple Minds.'
Meanwhile, Antonio will only have to walk few minutes from his house to see Simple Minds perform in Taormina, Sicily,
this coming July. No over night train journeys this time. And if he leaves the windows open, he (and the rest of the town)
will be able to hear every note from our afternoon soundcheck as we prepare nearby for our show at the incomparable
Teatro Greco." - Jim, 19th February 2020
