My little review about the show in Lecco :)
I'll write only about the most interesting parts of the show, that means: Fede & Massi and Sinead & John ;)

I hadn't planned to go to this show, as I thought the only interesting skaters were Federica and Massimo. This until Friday morning, when a friend called me and said the Kerrs would have been there too. Half an hour later I had already found a ticket and someone who could drive me back home!

Actually I almost risked to miss the show... about 5 minutes before leaving to catch the bus, a contact lens broke into my right eye (I don't know how!!!) and I couldn't take it out of the eye as I didn't see it anymore... panic!!! It hurt and I was late!! Thankfully my dad helped me and got the two pieces out of the eye... I had less than 2 minutes to ran to the bus stop, and luckily I arrived just in time, phew...
At 8 pm I was in Lecco, I met a friend and together we went to the icerink, where Filippo, Anna and Giovanna joined us. It looked like Anna had just burgled a florists', as she had flowers for all the Italian skaters (Federica & Massimo, Agogliati & Pedrazzini - Fabrizio is back on the ice with a new partner after quite some time - and Valentina Marchei) and for Sinead & John too - a way to welcome them to Italy ;)

In the opening Sinead & John were the first to enter the ice - together with Agogliati & Pedrazzini - they were dressed in black and did a reverse lift. Federica & Massimo did their tango reverse lift too.

S&J skated their first program to what I think could be the slow piece from Gladiator soundtrack; it was simply beautiful, intense and elegant. They really can skate to any kind of music and do something special with it. I tried to take some pics, but they turned out totally blurred because of that stupid spotlight :(

Fede & Massi skated the last part of their tango FD, starting from the slow piece; Filippo noticed the first effects of changing coaches in their style and posture, for example the more marked (?! am not sure of the word..) movements.

At the end of the first part of the show we talked a bit with Maurizio Margaglio, who had just got back from the "Open Village" in Riccione (a thing promoting Torino 2006 Olys - basically it's a "village", touring Italy, where you can try winter sports, watch 3D clips and get in touch with athletes). I think Mauri misses a lot being on the ice himself...
While we were standing near the skaters' exit Massimo saw us and came to say hello; we asked him if Paola Mezzadri was around (one of their coaches - we need to convince her to let us watch practice at Forum...), but she wasn't there. [peace mission failed!!]

Back to the second part of the show.
S&J did what it looked like an OD, as there was a straight line step sequence in it; they also did that lift from the bsb FD, where Sinead is parallel to the ice, and the reverse one. Later S&J said they didn't know they had to skate 2 programs in this show, so for this 2nd exhibition they did a piece from their old OD and then did the rest just following the music. Well, the result was great :) I love everything they do on the ice :)

F&M's 2nd program had the steps and choreographies of their new OD, but was skated to musics by Queen, that was a bit strange! I really enjoyed it though! What I didn't like was the front of Massimo's shirt, which had something like lilac flowers (??) embroidered on it (Federica was wearing a simple but sparkly lilac dress).

After the show we waited for the skaters; we greeted Fede and Massi, and gave them two of the big posters advertising the show we had just found downstairs - there was a big photo of them on it! And Massimo had told us he wanted one ;) My friends and I wanted to have that poster too, we were ready to detach those outside the rink :P But luckily it wasn't necessary, as there were lots on a table near the exit, and anyone could take one. I've hung mine on the back of my bedroom's door :)
Anna gave Sinead the flowers, then John arrived too; in Dortmund I had asked them when they were going to practice in Italy, and finally they were here :) It was nice to talk to them again, and I also took a pic.

It was around midnight, and time to go back home. Needless to say, I was really really happy of the night!!
