Can’t wait until June, when Seba and I will be exploring Florence, Milan and Venice. (Staying in this gorgeous hotel by Piazza San Marco, courtesy of Hostelbookers!) We’ll meet up with my cousin, and visit Seba’s family in Northern Italy. And we have Italian photoshoots and TV appearances in the works…

Did you know Sebastiano Serafini plays Luca, the Italian otaku student in the Japanese hit TV drama, Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo? (日本人の知らない日本語) His fan Ami made this compilation. I added the titles; the song — sung by Seba — is by Tim. Swoon at the video above and on my YouTube.

NEIL BARRETT for men

Italy, here we come! Got recommendations for places to visit in Florence, Milan and Venice? Please leave your suggestions in the comments — I’d love to check them out.

Song of the Day: Surechigai, sung by Sebastiano in the new video.

    La Carmina, if you and Seba are traveling, can I cat-sit Basil? I’m experienced in pet-sitting! I have the email of that leather goods shop in Florence. arteartigianato@hotmail.it
    I know you won’t be disappointed in seeing the products there. They are so unique, colorful, and fun. There are not only fashion accessories, but decorations for the home, like sculptures, masks, leather covered bottles. I’m so amazed they’re still there; the shop has hardly changed from when I remember it.

      Aww hahah! It seems everyone wants to squish Basil… ;)
      Ohh that sounds fantastic – I’d love to check it out. Do you know where the shop is located? <3

        I’ll have to check the eBay page again; I think the address should be there. Of course, I’m looking back on at least 15 years. I’ll post it as soon as I track it down. I think the merchandise will strike your fancy, because I’ve not seen anything that comes close to it.

            I went on a Google search, and I believe I have the address for the shop. I think their phone number too.

    Wow! I’m so envious! I love Luisa Viaroma, and bought my DSquared skeleton heel shoes from them. Would love to attend a blogger event like that…but am in Germany for the huge WGT Gothic Festival at exactly the same time!

    hohoho! I’m not in Italy ATM but I hope you have fun! I also think you should go to Bologna (there are some alternative shops there and it’s a nice city) and Umbria (in Perugia there are a lot of students so there’s a lot of partying). Another place for partying in the Adriatic coast in Emilia Romagna, especially Rimini and Riccione (lots of discos there). In my region (Marche) there is nothing special, but if the weather is nice you might want to go to the coast (I would say Senigallia and Il Conero area). Also, there are a lot of shoe makers, so there are a lot of outlets and shops (In Civitanova Marche there are two shops that I love, kinda expensive but it’s worth to just go and take a look: Combo Bella and Fornarina, almost on the beach side by side). And if you’re in Florence, you might want to see Lucca, it’s near and it’s a very nice city (each year there is an important comic festival there, but the rest of the time it’s just a lovely small city)

    (oh, try to go to Bologna on Saturday. There are huge street markets. One is at the park la Montagnola, they have most punkish-emo-rockish stuff there. The other one is on Via Indipendenza, you will just see it… that’s a more normal street market, but they have this huge mountain of used stuff, mostly crap but sometimes you can find nice things if you dig long enough… at least it was like this last year!)
