LIDO OF VENICE[/b]
We arrive at the lido in 40 minutes…we were really excited…”maybe Johnny is there in this moment…maybe we’re breathing his same air…” (i know, i’m really crazy, but i’ve always loved him since i was a child and it seemed to me not real to be there…)
Lots of important people in the world of cinema was there…People running here and there, lots of “shops”, the air was frenetic, special, MAGIC…
it was in that moment, there, in the crowd, tha i realized i really made it, i was there…
We took the tickets, the weather was really hot…
LOOKING FOR HIM
i still don’t know and still can’t understand how we managed to get in the exact place where Johnny would come just a few minutes before his arrival, but we did…
after we took the tickets, i started speaking with a girl in a shop, and she told me that Johnny was there,

Betty’s Encounter
Some cars arrived. From the first one Tarantino went out. I think he’s really nice and he smiled a lot…
Then from the other cars went out some other people i dodn’t know, when…there she comes, the first star of finding neverland: Kate Winslet…beautiful, thin, a beautiful elegant dress…really nice, indeed!!!!
But my heart starts beating really fast when i realize that Johnny Depp is in the car towards me…my heart beats really fast when i see him getting out…it’s him…… JOHNNY DEPP!!!! at first it seemed me unreal…but then i try to do something…
I scream his name , but he went singing autograph in the opposite side… we were already desperate, with our camera and our piece of paper for the autograph in the hand… when we see him coming back: he’s coming towards us!!
Chiara (Celebel) took some photos, then i saw him kissing a girl really close to me. and when he came to me, after he signed me the autograph, i stopped him.
he looked at me, understood, and kissed me on the cheek. from then on, i started going crazy, and i don’t remember so much…!!!
i just know that it was amazing, that he smelled good and that he was so handsome and soft (tender)…!!!
Hello to all the JD fans, i hope you’ll meet him too, he’s a wonderful person…
VENICE FILM FESTIVAL, 2004
I actually was standing a few meters away from there (Yes, at the Venice Lido, today 2.15 am at night when they arrived for the screening of “Finding Neverland!!), with all the crowd of photographers in between, but there, live, at that very moment. I could only see him and Kate from behind, take a glimpse from their profile once or twice, but it was real, the true real person, not just a picture, a figure out of another world, and I can still feel the whole atmosphere around it. It was truely unbelievable!
The video actually brings tears into my eyes. You can hear people shout Johnny Johnny Johnny!!! Not a single call for Kate! And can you see how Johnny reacts to this? He steps away, he gives her the space to be noticed – but no, only more shouting Johnny – till he stands up and leaves with a sad smile and wink. I wasn’t there at the photoshooting, but it was the same thing at night at the arrival for the screening: hundreds and hundreds of shouting and screaming his name again and again and nothing for the others. Johnny couldn’t go away there but you could see and feel he is not at all comfortable being the only center of attraction. You all know that me too I adore Johnny, and of course I was there because of him, just because of him, but I really felt pitty especially for Kate, who is a great actress too,
Deppangel’s Encounter
I’m at the station of Bologna, and i’m aware of having a silly smile on my face…the smile of a girl who believes of having seen Even…but, hey…honestly…i did!
Me and Francesca (the owner of https://www.ifod.altervista.org) , alone on the ship in venice that takes us home, far from him, while the light of the sun reminds me cruely that a new day is coming…we look at each other without saying nothing, ’cause both of us know the meaning fo this expression…and then we talk…because i fear i could explode if i don’t speak…i’ve got a full heart and empty hands..
Saturday morning, i met in the train to venice Serena and two friends of hers, Marika and Martina…i was going to realize the dream of my life…
But…will Johnny be there? Yes, he will…he must be there…!i hope so.. the trip passes fast and we finally arrive to Venice, where we meet Sara, Ryuki and their grandmothers and mothers…
And here we are, on the ship that would lead us to venice lido…and we were all very moved and excited…””Oh, girls, we are breathing his same air…we are looking at his same sky…do you realize that?
i had some problems with my tickets, but everything was solved…and i wanted to tell the others, but i didn’t have te time, ’cause they told me that Johnny was coming and we had to hurry!
Sara’s Encounter
it’s really difficult for me to explain what happened, ’cause it’s not clear even to myself…
but i think that when you love a person tha you don’t really know, such a wonderful person, and when te moment comes for your dream to come true, it’s as if a door on another world was opened…it’s a matter of seconds, but then the door closes and leaves you shocked for so many days…
it’s the 6 september 2004 and i still can’t realize what happened: i scream Johnny, i feel my legs trembling, i feel his skin, it’s a dream that comes true…i didn’t expected to find in him a person so amazing and full of sweetness and sensitivity…
3.00 pm
we’re waiting for him…minutes slip away in my head and there’s just one thought that continues pulsing inside me: i MUST see him, i must, i must…
we are all together for him…
and here he comes…here…he…comes…
photographers and journalists screa his name, but all is covered by our screams…Johnny gets out of the taxi, says hello with shyness…he smiles…
Oh, dear, he’s a miracle of nature…he gets close to his fans, i can touch his bacelet…and his hand…i sawhis tatoos, i look at his lips…
he’s so kind, gentle…he is not in a hurry, but he listens to you when you say something even if it’s in italian and he doesn’t understand…but he understand how we feel…
