We are coming to the end of another turbulent year in the social and political spheres, the result of the “fla-flu” that unfortunately is part of our daily lives. Not even the world Cup which usually unites the country for at least two months, was able to bring the joy we’ve been waiting for since 2002 with the fifth championship in Japan.
However, with regard to the main object of this column, 2022 was a year of victories and joy. After the disaster that was 2020 due to the pandemic and uncertainty and then the resumption that took 2021, in this year that ends soon there was an intense movement of inaugurations that would yield a gigantic text.
Anyway, lover of lists that I am, I decided in this text – the last one from 2022 – to do the same as I did in my last one from 2021: a “positive retrospective” listing openings that pleased me during the year (already repenting for forgetting to some or some).
Obviously, for different reasons, there are still many places to be visited and I hope to do so soon. That’s why I chose only six, but of different styles.
Once again, I publicly thank you Daniela Filomeno and Tina Bini for the existence of this column and I wish you a Happy New Year with many more successful openings.
See you soon and thanks to everyone who followed this column in 2022.
