Ambassador's Day 21.09

The world situation is rapidly changing due to global Coronavirus crisis, affecting, as of today, 196 countries and territories.

The 25th Smrikva Bowl 2020 application process will be closed in few days, 30th of March… and before 8th of April the final decision about the possibility to play the 25th edition will be taken and communicated to the candidates that were all supported by past Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors and friends… who are spreading the Smrikva Bowl mission and Smrikva Bowl dream world wide with their living… and they helped me again to get to know through the selection process the extraordinary generation born in 2010…

The following text was written back in 2010 in relation with choosing the 21st of September date as Smrikva Bowl Ambassador’s Day… this is the day when traditionally the Smrikva Bowl selection process start every year…

There is a dream behind Smrikva Bowl foundation and that dream is today facing a big challenge with hope that humanity may find the way to overcome this challenge and learn from it as we learn from all the mistakes we do while learning to play tennis…

I believe there is a way and hopefully we will find it and will learn from it…

Smrikve, September 2010

The International Day of Peace, also known as the World Peace Day, occurs annually on September 21st and this day has been elected to be also the Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors’ Day.

It is dedicated to peace, or specifically the absence of war, such as might be occasioned by a temporary ceasefire in a combat zone. It is observed by many people. For the first time this holiday was celebrated in 1981.

The Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors Day, although celebrated on the same day as the World Peace Day, is dedicated to civilization, intergenerational responsibility and tennis. Without civil society in a modern world there is no guarantee for peace.

In 1981 the United Nations General Assembly declared, in a resolution sponsored by the United Kingdom and Costa Rica, the third Tuesday of September (the opening day of regular sessions of the General Assembly) as the International Day of Peace devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace and civilization values.

In 2001, the day was changed from the third Tuesday to specifically the twenty-first day of September. A new resolution was passed by the General Assembly, sponsored by the United Kingdom (giving credit to Peace One Day) and Costa Rica (the sponsors of the original day) to give the Day of Peace a fixed date and declare it as a global ceasefire day.

In 1991, on September 21st, I left Smrikve for Milan, it was the war time in my country, 5 years before, on the same day, in 1986, I sailed with a boat to Dubrovnik with school friends living a nice life time memory experience.

Having our calendar year 365 days if we live for some time and create our own experience we learn that the same day can remind us something nice and something not nice… it is a circle…

Not nice could be compared to a mistake in tennis… we learn from the mistakes. They help us understand what is not good or what we do not do properly…

To end this comment I am pleased to repeat words of a Nobel Prize for Peace who was guest speaker to one of Ambrosetti’s Young Leader Group meetings. It is a tradition that every guest dedicate few words to the Group and he wrote down the following:

“The future is always in a minority. Yet the history of the future is more important than the history of the past. It is for the old to remember the past. It is for the young to build the world of tomorrow.

Do it! You can build a world without wars. You can build a new humanity.”

Everything around us lives in a delicate equilibrium and with intelligence we should try to understand it and respect it. The knowledge, human curiosity and will to learn are important. They are all parts of the civilization path.

Shimon Peres used in his note the statement: “Do it!” thus reminded me Yoda’s wisdom words when he shares his knowledge with young Jedi: “Try no. Do or do not “ :)

If people believe in the future there is future. If people do not believe in the future there is no future.

Smrikve c Code - brothers in arms

Smrikve, October 2010

The Star Wars “Return of the Jedi” is the first film I remember seeing with my dad at the cinema… it was 1983 and I was 10… the cinema was named “Istra”… I was the same age as the Smrikva Bowl players we host every year in Smrikve :)…

In the introduction of this article I would just underline that I like the way Jedi use the lightsabers and I like the way Smrikva Bowl kids use their rackets :)… Smrikve c Code is a story about virtue created by training and wish to learn…

My dad was pilot and for me watching The Star Wars with him at the cinema was a particular experience … I had many questions and he, as usual, with smile and pleasure answered to each of my questions…

Dad used to take me with him on the airport when I was little… and I remember him entering the cockpit of the plane with pilot helmet watching towards me and giving me the sign that he was ready to fly… than he turned on the engine of the plane and watched towards me again with smile in his eyes…

I stayed about 100 meters from the airplane with his colleagues and watched him taking his plane towards runway…

From the place where I stayed only part of the runway was visible because of the wood and he took the plane in the area that was invisible to me to prepare for the takeoff… I was able to hear the force of the engine… and when the sound of the force started to increase I knew that my dad will be visible soon… his colleagues were telling me “be ready soon your dad will come”… and when he started to be visible on the back of the plane there was the fire… almost half length of the airplane had the fire extension formed by his engine and I just noticed his helmet in the cockpit and followed by my kids eyes his airplane reaching the sky…

The Jedi are characters in the Star Wars universe bound to a code of morality and justice and are trained in the use of the light side of the force. They learn to use the Force, and weapons, known as lightsabers, which emits a controlled energy flow in the shape of a sword, to serve and protect their Republic and the galaxy from conflicts or government instability…

Since long time ago I started to note the ability of Smrikva Bowl kids using the racket and thinking at the same time on Jedi’s ability to use the lightsaber :)…

Some of my students use Wilson’s ying & young damper… known as Tao sign… they like the symbol but are still too young to have an idea about it ;)… I will try to use this symbol to help me explain how little the difference could be in forming a balance in anything we do… every action has a reaction in our World… in the first classes of physics we learn Newton’s third law…

Tao is an abstract concept found in Taoism, Confucianism, and more generally in ancient Chinese philosophy and East Asian cultures.

While the word itself translates as “way”, “path”, or “route”… it is often used philosophically to signify the fundamental nature of the World we are used to living on Earth… it is often referred to as “the nameless”, because neither it nor its principles can ever be adequately expressed in words.

While the Tao cannot be expressed, Taoism holds that it can be known, and its principles can be followed. Much of Taoist writing focuses on the value of following the Tao – called Te (virtue) – and of the ultimate uselessness of trying to understand or control Tao outright. This is often expressed through yin and yang arguments, where every action creates a counter-action as a natural, unavoidable movement within manifestations of the Tao.

I used the above short explanation to introduce the Codes used in the Star Wars universe…

As in the Tao symbol there were knights trained to use the dark side of the force and the light side… this is the way how mankind functioned since the human written memory goes back…

For new ideas people have to go beyond… out of the known patterns by using their imagination… the kids are many times Master in this…

“Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.”… :)

DARK SIDE (The Sith Code)

• Peace is a lie. There is only passion.
• Through passion, I gain strength.
• Through strength, I gain power.
• Through power, I gain victory.
• Through victory, my chains are broken.
• The Force shall free me.

LIGHT SIDE (The Jedi Code)

• There is no emotion, there is peace.
• There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
• There is no passion, there is serenity.
• There is no death, there is the Force.

The Jedi Code was rewritten by Grand Master Luke Skywalker upon reestablishing the Jedi Order:

• Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
• Jedi use their powers to defend and to protect.
• Jedi respect all life, in any form.
• Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
• Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.

Smrikve c code is the code…

…and… just one more thing…

… “La guerra no le hace a uno grandioso.”… ;)

I am pleased to close this article with Dire Straits and their Brothers in Arms song… starting with the sound of the thunder… The concert was made in 1988 to honor Nelson Mandela…

*BROTHERS IN ARMS *

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you’ll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you’ll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I’ve whittnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There’s so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun’s gone to hell
And the moon’s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it’s written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We’re fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Smrikva Bowl Library story... "books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind..." ;)

25th Smrikva Bowl 2020 generation will be selected in less than 40 days… and today I will be pleased to recall a story that is linked to the books and the title of today… linked to the books but also to our players who bring them to their Smrikva Bowl… :)

…it is the story of heritage… but as written in the title… it is again a story related to the spring via pollen … but this time is a kind of mind pollen… ;)…

James Russell Lowell compared books to the bees and I like it… “books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind…”

In 2009 we started the building of the Smrikva Bowl library. Each Smrikva Bowl player is requested to bring with him a cultural book that will remember his stay in Smrikve and will represent his culture of origin that one day guests of Smrikve will be able to consult, enjoy and discover.

Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors are today spread in 93 countries and all the continents. Historically their task was to search the talented kids in their countries of origin and invite them to play the Smrikva Bowl but from this year they are also our Cultural Ambassadors.

The old olive tree Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors plant every year is a symbol of friendship and intergenerational responsibility and Smrikva Bowl’s idea of children, sport, music and culture that are able to pass all frontiers are incorporated in the creation of this Smrikva Bowl Library.

I used to write in my first book on European Union and Cosmopolitan Democracy that we are those who represent the current civilization.

This is an important concept. Today people live an average of about 80 years. What we call civilization is mostly made up of the human knowledge we have accumulated until today, which our institutions pass onto future generations.

The books represent the greatest human memory that can help us understand what we see combined with cumulated personal experience of our daily lives. But given the fragility of the circle of life it is very easy for people to ignore these facts and lose sight of our human knowledge. It takes just a few generations to lose this great heritage.

We have gotten used to rapid technological progress, but social and civil progress is slower and more complex. Humans learn throughout their whole lifetime, from books and schools, but we also mostly learn from our personal experiences.

Smrikva Bowl mission is to develop and spread cosmopolitan values. Love, friendship and empathy are cosmopolitan values per excellence for people and humanity…

Thanks in advance to all the 25th Smrikva Bowl 2020 generation players who will help this year with their visit to Smrikve to build another piece of the Smrikva Bowl World library :)

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction

Today… in many countries around the World the LOVe Day is celebrated… and I like to dedicate every year few words to this particular FORCE :)…

Smrikva Bowl mission has always been dedicated towards spreading the cosmopolitan values… and LOVe, friendship and empathy are among those values per excellence…

… today is still hard to imagine what kind of beauty the Smrikva Bowl seeds around the World will be able to create…

… they are growing… like growing seeds of the tennis of tomorrow.. spread in 64 countries and all the continents…

The title of today article… “Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.”… is borrowed from a quote of Antonine de Saint- Exupéry… the author of the Little Prince book… and is dedicated to THE FORCE… we like to name “LOVe”… and I like to think of it as… the ”eVOLve”… :)

… very powerful force…

THE LITTLE PRINCE…by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry… is a very special book that every person at different age read differently.

It is a book that last over time and was likely the last love gift Antoine de Saint-Exupéry made to his wife Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry.

Over time this book was translated into many different languages thus become a love gift for many generations around the world.

It is a children’s book written for the older… and I like many parts of it… especially the description that Antoine make of the adult people… the description of the moment when the rose was born… the importance of the right orders on the King’s planet… “you never know” statement… the meeting with the wise fox… the smiling stars and many other parts…

… and just one more thing… Only best friends, when they trust each other, do share their deep knowledge… and once The Little Prince and the fox created such a special relationship the fox shared a secret with him…

… “One only understands the things that one tames,” said the fox…

… “What must I do, to tame you?” asked the little prince.

“You must be very patient,” replied the fox. “First you will sit down at a little distance from me – like that – in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day…”

… and when Little Prince come back to say goodbye the fox shared a little secret with him…

… “Goodbye,” said the fox. “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

“What is essential is invisible to the eye,” the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

“It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.”

… “… You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose…”

“I am responsible for my rose,” the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry believed in the title of today’s article that: “Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction”…

…whatever he thought with that say… I like it… ;)

p.s. “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” – Albert Einstein

Smrikva Bowl Mission like a Dream...

Not many years from now there will be much more Smrikva Bowl players among professional players… as of February 7th 2020: 47 players reached TOP 200 ATP/WTA ranking… 24 players reached TOP 100 ATP/WTA ranking… 8 players reached TOP 20 ATP/WTA… 2 players reached TOP 5 ATP/WTA ranking… and 97 players are this week holding TOP 1000 ATP/WTA ranking…

Their track record includes: 32 junior GRAND SLAM titles and 41 professional ATP/WTA titles…

There will be much more Smrikva Bowl players that thanks to their racket skills will got the scholarship to play in the prestige Universities all around the World… so far 210+ players got scholarship to study play tennis in the US…

… and there will be much more who will graduate all around the World…

Smrikva Bowl dream is that may they all stand together for something “MORE THAN TENNIS”…

“If you want 1 year of prosperity, grow grain.
If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees.
If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.”

Smrikva Bowl mission is to inspire, develop and spread cosmopolitan values. Love, friendship and empathy are cosmopolitan values per excellence for people and humanity…

CULTURE, CHILDREN, SPORT and MUSIC are part of the Smrikva Bowl idea of the cosmopolitan world. It is a matter of civilization …

A wise wind, product of imagination, once whispered… “Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.” (M.Y.)… and fairy tales seems to help that beauty…

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” (A.E.)…

Usually in tennis game it does not matter what goes wrong but your reaction to it…

Fear and anger are for the brain the same as cramps for the muscles… and as Yoda noted “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”… like in tennis, so similar seems to be life…

There are different ways to look at sport. There are different ways to look at music, culture, love and also to children.

The vision of sport preferred in Smrikve can be described and extended to: culture, music and children using the following Nelson Mandela – Madiba’s words:

“Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire and the power to unite people in a way little else can – it is an instrument of peace.”

Greetings from Smrikve... Sve najljepše... Auguri 2020

Dear Smrikve friends,

It is greetings time… time to stay with loved ones… make wishes and time to dream about new destinations to reach that may bring you and your family joy and energy…

To have a dream is always beautiful… and to have people, family, friends who dream with you and who share your dream is even more beautiful…

I wish you all to make your dreams true in the long run… and I can promise that we will also do our best to keep improving in different directions… remembering that each of your visit was and is for us a source of inspiration… and the inspiration is always that invisible force creating another good year in Smrikve…

25th Smrikva Bowl 2020 edition is already envisaged as an impressive year of talents the same as the Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talents Family Weeks for 2020 (scheduled for 2 weeks: 25/4/-2/5/ and 3/5 – 10/5/). SBTTFW is always a very special learning experience for me… together with my friend Luca Appino we keep looking at the tennis fronteers of tomorrow and next year weeks will be another long term development gift to our alumni.

As of today combined Smrikva Bowl children track record includes:

• 31 junior GRAND SLAM titles (conquered by 24 players)
• 41 professional ATP/WTA titles (conquered by 11 players)
• 47 players reached TOP 200 ATP/WTA ranking => 24 players reached TOP 100 ATP/WTA ranking => 8 players reached TOP 20 ATP/WTA => 2 players reached TOP 10 ATP/WTA ranking
• 200+ players received scholarships to study in the US & play tennis.

If you could look only a year or two years back you would be impressed how big is the increase in numbers above and I am glad to foresee how impressive our human life tree is going to be in just five years from now.

People who walked for a little by my side knows that I appreciate cartoons. They always help me in comunicating with children. Understanding their language is a treasure for me… and treasure is always greater when shared… therefore for the end of this year greeting letter I wish to introduce Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda cartoon, being myself a big fun of it, since I was blessed to get in a closer contact with Asian culture thanks to my wife.

To those not familiar with Kung Fu Panda… Master Oogway is an elderly tortoise, highly venerated for his wisdom, knowledge, and experience. Oogway was considered by many to be a sage, a kind of Star Wars’ Yoda. He was greatly respected by Shifu, the Furious Five, Po, the entire Valley of Peace, and all of China.

He was known as the greatest kung fu master in history, with no other reputation surpassing his. I have to say that recently I discovered Ip Man, Bruce Lee’s kung fu master, and Master Oogway is that kind of a leader who lead by example. He dedicated his life to preserving the art of kung fu as a force for good and passed on this and many of his other teachings to his students. In the small remainder of his life, he had the chance to finally locate the Dragon Warrior before he ascended into the Spirit Realm.

May the following Master Oogway quotes on success inspire you and be a gift to you to make real your next year wishes ;)

• “If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.”
• “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”
• “Your mind is like this water, my friend. When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.”

I hope you enjoyed the gift :)

Happy holidays and Happy New Year!

Mio

Dragi prijatelji i poznanici Smrikvi,

Prosinac je vrijeme čestitanja, vrijeme želja… vrijeme koje se provodi uz svoje najmilije… a i vrijeme za sanjanje i osmišljavanje novih destinacija prema kojima krenuti, i koje bi mogle donijeti nama i obitelji neku novu radost i novu energiju…

Sanjati je lijepo … ali imati uz to i ljude, obitelj, prijatelje koji sanjaju s tobom i koji dijele tvoj san je još mrvicu ljepše …

Želim da se vaši snovi ostvare … a isto tako obećajem da ćemo se i mi nastaviti usavršavati i truditi u najrazličitim smjerovima … pamteći da je svaki vaš posjet bio i jest za nas izvor inspiracije … inspiracija je uvijek bila taj nevidljivi kotač-sila koja nam pomaže u stvaranju i osmišljavanju još jedne dobre godine u Smrikvama …

25. izdanje Smrikva Bowl 2020 se već može razaznati kao još jedna impresivna godina talenata a isto se nazire za nadolazeće Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talents Family Weeks 2020 (predviđena su ukupno 2 obiteljska tjedna: 25/4/ – 2/5/ i 3/5 – 10/5/). SBTTFW je jedno posebno iskustvo… zajedno sa prijateljem Luca Appinom nastavljamo promatrati i zamišljati teniske granice sutrašnjice… tako će i nadolazeći susreti biti još jedan dugoročni dar za razvoj naših polaznika i obitelji.

Već danas djeca Smrikve posjeduju impresivan životopis:

• 31 juniorskih GRAND SLAM titule (koje su osvojili 24 igrača)
• 41 profesionalnih ATP/WTA titula (koje je osvojilo 11 igrača)
• 47 igrača je dostigla nivo TOP 200 ATP/WTA => 24 igrača je dostiglo TOP 100 ATP/WTA => 8 igrača je dostiglo TOP 20 ATP/WTA => 2 su ušla u TOP 10 ATP/WTA
• 200+ igrača je dobilo stipendiju za studiranje u SAD-u zahvaljujući tenisu

Ako bi mogli pogledati ove iste brojeve samo godinu ili dvije godine unazad bili bi impresionirani koliko brzo se povećavaju… i drago mi je što se već danas nazire koliko impresivno će biti to ljudsko stablo života za samo pet godina.

Ljudi koji su malo hodali uz mene znaju da sam ljubitelj crtanih filmova. Oduvijek mi pomažu u komunikaciji s djecom. Razumijevanje njihovog jezika je za mene blago… a blago je uvijek veće kada se dijeli… tako da za kraj ovogodišnje čestitke želim predstaviti meni dragog učitelja Oogwaya iz crtića Kung Fu Panda… postao sam njegov ljubitelj, a za to se moram posebno zahvaliti supruzi i danas malo većem poznavanju azijske kulture.

Onima koji nisu baš upoznati s crtićem Kung Fu Panda… učitelj Oogway je jedna starija kornjača visoko cijenjena u svome društvu zbog svoje mudrosti, znanja i iskustva. Mnogi Oogwayja smatraju mudracem, vrstom Jode iz Ratova Zvijezda. Izuzetno su ga poštovali Shifu, ljuta petorka, Po, cijela dolina mira pa i cijela Kina.

Bio je poznat kao najveći majstor kung fu-a u povijesti, ničiji ugled nije nadmašivao njegov. Moram podijeliti da sam nedavno otkrio još jednu legendu, Ip Mana, učitelja od slavnog Bruce Lee-a, i mogu napisati da je učitelj Oogway vrlo sličan vođa koji vodi svojim primjerom. Oogway je svoj život posvetio očuvanju kung fu-a kao sile koja širi i štiti dobro, a to i mnoga druga učenja prenosio je na svoje učenike. U njegovom životopisu se može pronaći da je imao uspjeha i u pronalaženju zmajskog ratnika prije nego što se pridružio duhovnom svijetu.

Rado dijelim nekoliko mudrih izreka učitelja Oogwaya o uspjehu da vam budu moj poklon i inspiracija na putu ostvarenja vaših i obiteljskih želja za sljedeću godinu.

• “Ako činite samo ono što već znate, nikada nećete biti bolji nego što ste sada.”
• “Nije važno što je netko po svom rođenju, već je važno ono što postaje odrastanjem.”
• “Tvoj um je poput ove vode moj prijatelju. Kada je uznemiren, teško je vidjeti. Ali ako dopustiš mu da se umiri, odgovor postaje jasno vidljiv. “

Nadam se da ste uživali u poklonu :)

Sretni blagdani i sretna Nova godina!

Mio

Cari amici di Smrikve,

E’ il tempo degli auguri… il tempo per stare insieme con i propri cari… il momento per sognare, fare dei desideri sulle destinazioni da raggiungere che possano portare a voi ed alle vostre famiglie gioia ed energia…

Avere il sogno e’ bellissimo… ma avere gente, la famiglia, amici che sognano insieme a te e condividono il tuo sogno e’ ancora piu’ bello…

Desidero che realizziate i vostri sogni… e posso promettere che anche noi continueremo a migliorare in ogni dirizione… ricordando che ogni vostra visita era ed e’ per noi una fonte d’inspirazione… e l’inspirazione e’ sempre quella forza invisibile che crea un’altro buon anno a Smrikve…

25.-esima edizione dello Smrikva Bowl del 2020 si puo’ gia’ scorgere come un’altra annata di talenti… cosi’ anche posso gia’ dire per il Smrikva Bowl Tennis Talents Family Weeks 2020 (ci saranno due settimane: 25/4-2/5 e 3/5-10/5). SBTTFW e’ sempre un’esperienza di crescita per me… insieme all’amico Luca Appino cerchiamo di osservare la frontiera tennistica del domani ed anche le settimane dell’anno che viene saranno nuovamente un regalo per la crescita ai nostri alumni…

Ad oggi i risultati conguinti dei ragazzi Smrikva si possono descrivere come:

• 31 titole juniores dei GRANDI SLAM (conquistati da 24 ragazzi)
• 41 titoli professional ATP/WTA (conquistati da 11 ragazzi)
• 47 giocatori hanno raggiunto la classifica TOP 200 ATP/WTA => 24 giocatori hanno raggiunto TOP 100 ATP/WTA => 8 giocatori TOP 20 ATP/WTA => 2 giocatori TOP 10 ATP/WTA ranking
• oltre 200 ragazzi hanno ricevuto le borse di studio grazie al tennis per studiare e giocare negli Stati Uniti

Se poteste vedere qusti stessi numeri di soli uno o due anni inditro sareste impressionati di quanto siano cresciti… e mi fa piacere poter gia’ d’ora scorgere quanto impressionante il nostro albero della vita nei prossimi soli cinque anni diventerra’…

La gente che mi conosce un po’ sa che apprezzo molto i cartoni animati. Mi aiutano sempre nel trovare il linguagio per parlare ai bambini. Capire loro linguagio e’ per me un tesoro… ed e’ un tesoro ancor piu’ grande quando condiviso… cosi’ per la parte finale della lettera di auguri di quest’anno vorrei presentare il Maestro Oogway del cartone animato Kung Fu Panda, essendo un loro grande fun da quando ho avuto fortuna ad avvicinarmi un po’ di piu’ alla cultura orientale grazie soprattutto a mia moglie…

Per coloro che sono meno familiari con Kung Fu Panda… spiego che Master Oogway e’ un anziana tartaruga… venerate e rispettata per la propria saggezza, conoscenza, ed esperienza. Oogway era considerato da molti un saggio, una specie di Yoda delle Guerre Stellari. Era molto rispetato da Shifu, dai Furiosi Cinque, Po, da tutta la Valle della Pace, e da tutta Cina.

Era conosciuto come il piu’ grande maestro di kung fu nella storia, nessuno superava la sua reputazione. Devo dire che di recente ho scoperto Ip Man, il maestro che insegno’ kung fu a Bruce Lee, e Maestro Oogway era quel tipo di leader che guida con il proprio esempio. Oogway ha dedicato la propria vita nel preservare l’arte di kung fu come una forza per il bene e la tramando’ ai propri alievi insieme a molti altri insegnamenti. Nel ricordare la sua vita, ebbe finalmente la possibilita’ d’identifacare il Guerriero Dragone prima di salire nel regno degli spiriti.

Spero le seguenti citazioni in merito al successo di Maestro Oogway possano ispirare anche voi e che siano un dono, una guida, verso la realizzazione dei vostri desideri per l’anno che viene

• “Se fai solo quello che puoi e sai fare, non sarai mai piu’ di quello che sei ora.”
• “Non importa cio’ che qualcuno nasce, ma cio’ che diventa.”
• “La tua mente e’ come quest’acqua, amico mio. Quando e’ agitata, diventa difficile vedere. Ma se gli permetti di diventare calma, la risposta diventa chiara.”

Spero vi sia piaciuto il regalo :)

Buone vacanze e felice anno nuovo!

Mio

We started to collect olives and made olive oil that will end up in bottles for the 25th Smrikva Bowl 2020 Ambassadors - Istrian olive oil - one of the best in the World and Smrikva "seeds of the Legends" are making it more and more special

It was another very long day in Smrikve… the first olives collection day for the 25th Smrikva Bowl 2020 edition-generation…

… with over 15 family members and friends we had another beautiful olive oil collection day…

It is the story of the 2020 Smrikva Bowl olive oil production :)…

In Smrikve is considered 2020 production because the next year every new Smrikva Bowl Ambassador will receive as per tradition a memory bottle of it during the Ambassador’s nomination ceremony.

Collecting olives is always wonderful family and friends time :)… so lucky to collect olives with this kind of weather…

… and the day was again too short to collect all… we had a great team…

Our olive trees hold names of over 1550 players coming from 93 countries and all the continents…

In Smrikve we produce Istrian olive oil that has over 2000 years old tradition in olive oil making and was considered among the best one in the Roman Empire and today is still considered among the best one in the World.

During the Smrikva Bowl we use to give to every Smrikva Bowl Ambasador a bottle of oil as a memory to their Smrikva Bowl.

We are already able to produce special and limited collections of the Smrikva Bowl olive oil from the Smrikva Bowl centuries old olive trees planted by some of the future tennis Champions…

The long road full of sweat and tears… and in end smile :)

… so far 24 players reached TOP 100 ATP/WTA… 47 reached TOP 200 ATP/WTA… 24 children holds a total of 31 junior Grand Slam titles and almost 200 players study or completed their studies in the US thanks to their tennis skills.

The tradition of the olive oil production started to develop in Istria during the time of the Emperor Augustus. Thanks to the olive oil Pula was for few centuries one of the richest towns in the Roman Empire and this is one of the main reasons why Pula got its magnificent Arena.

It is important to say that at the time olive oil was not used only as the salad dressing as we use it today but it was used also for lighting thus it was important as today are important the sources of energy we use. It was the gold of its period. This explain the status and importance Pula had during the Roman Empire time.

Romans had deep knowledge of olive oil making and we do know that they had five different olive oils quality ranking:

1. Oleum ex albis ulivis: first quality olive oil made by green and white olives
(THIS IS WHAT WE DO FROM THE SMRIKVA BOWL OLIVES)
2. Viride: olive oil made by the olives that started to become black
3. Maturum: olive oil made by mature olives
4. Caducum: olive oil made by olives collected from the ground
5. Cibarium: olive oil made by rotten olives

In 2005, for the 10th Smrikva Bowl anniversary, we started the tradition of planting an old Olive tree. The Olive tree selected was older than the oldest man living on the earth today.

On Brioni island there is an olive tree from the beginning of the 4th century that is one of the oldest olive trees in Europe… and many Smrikva Bowl kids visit it every year…

Marcus Valerius Martialis, native from Cordoba, who lived in the 1st century AD, during the Roman Empire times, celebrated Istrian olive oil with the following verses: “Uncto Corduba Laetior Venafro Histra Nec Minus Absolute Testa”. The translation in English would be: “Cordoba, you being more fertile than the olive oil region of Venafro and so perfect as the oil (amphora) from Istria”.

Today we collected grapes and started the 25th Smrikva Bowl 2020 - Smrikve Malvazija wine production

We just collected grapes and started 2020 Smrikve wine production… the wine collection of limited 130 bottles will be made as per tradition… and around 100 bottles will be donated to the families participating the 25th Smrikva Bowl 2020 edition…

As per tradition we will do our best to make good wine…

Smrikve Malvazija is thanks to the Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors spread in 93 countries and all the continents. Last year we created a limited collection of 130 bottles and never above 200 bottles… it is always a gift of our family to the Smrikva Bowl families and to our friends.

Wine and gastronomy are part of a culture and wine bottle that we give to every Smrikva Bowl family is part of our cultural gift that every year we are pleased to make to our guests coming from all around the World.

The wine making is the tradition in Smrikve since 1957…

The wine production is a passion for many Istrian families and my grandfather Mate was a great lower of wine and wine making. The first thing he made in 1957 when he settled in Smrikve was planting the vineyard.

Probably not many Smrikva Bowl readers do know the story how my grandfather agreed to take out a row of vineyard to create the space for the court where today the Smrikva Bowl finals are played.

My father, me and my Uncle continue the wine making tradition in Smrikve…

Several years ago I bought a vineyard close to the vineyard planted by my grandfather and today my father and me are doing our best to get the best from what Malvasia grapes can give.

The first phase of the processing the grapes started yesterday…

We collected the grapes but also separated the juice of the rest to obtain the golden color that usually our Istrian Malvazija (Malmsey) wine has. Now for two days the fermentation will be blocked to allow the wine to start its transformation process cleaner than it is today after the collection.

In Smrikve we produce Istrian Malvazija (Malmsey) and during the Smrikva Bowl we use to give a bottle of wine to every family as a memory to their Smrikva Bowl. Probably one day this bottles might be something special if our kids continue to love tennis game and continue to write the Smrikva Bowl story with their results.

Wine as part of the culture…

In the regions where the wine is produced the wine was always part of the culture of the particular site. Also the wine we produce is part of the Smrikve tradition and this is the reason why we are pleased to give a bottle to every family that come to visit us for the Smrikva Bowl.

There is an old Istrian saying: ”Vino od loze i mliko od koze” and “Kruh je za tilo a vino je za dušu”. The translation from Croatian is difficult because you loose the feel of the language. Goat is the symbol of Istria and the meaning of the first saying would be: ”Wine from the grapevine and milk from the goat” and the meaning of the second would be: “Bread is for the body, wine is for the soul”.

With yesterday collection as I said we started the process of transforming the grapes into wine for the 24th Smrikva Bowl 2020 edition of Malvazija.

The main Istrian wines are: Malvazija, Terran, Refosc and Muscatel.

The glory of the Istrian wine dates back to over 2000 years ago…

For those who are not familiar with Istrian wine I am pleased to remined the reader that Istrian wine was considered one of the best in the Roman Empire, around 20 centuries ago, and was preferred by Livia Drusilla, also known as Iulia Augusta, the wife of the first Roman Emperor Augustus.

Livia Drusilla’s preferred wine was the Istrian wine Pucinum. Livia is considered one of the most influent women in the beginning of the Roman Empire era. It is not know what wine it was because todays wines were brought in Istria mostly by Venetians.

Todays Istrian Malvazija’s story is related with Serenissima… the Venetian Republic

The story of Istrian Malvazija, cultivated in Istria since the end of the 16th century, is fascinating and it relates to the Venetians.

At the beginning of the 15th century the Venetians occupied Peloponnesus in Greece. In the Peloponnesus region there is a town Monemvassia, also named Malvasia. From this town the Venetians started to import the wine into Venice and the other areas controlled by the Venetian Republic.

This wine was so successful and became so famous all over Europe that Venetians decided to plant huge vineyards on the biggest Greek island, Crete.

Between the 16th and 18th century Malvasia become the most important wine in Europe. In 1570 the Turks conquered Crete and Venetians decided to plant Malvasia vineyards in other areas that had friendly relations with Venice which, at that time, also included Istria.

In end Malvasia is in Istria since the above mentioned period while it is not known the sort of the wine that was preferred by the wife of the Emperor Augustus, Livia Drusilla – Julia Augusta.

Giacomo Casanova in his diary talks about another Istrian sort and another great wine…

Giacomo Casanova visited Vrsar several times and in his diary he describes a good wine Refosc and nice women… That Refosc could be Terran too because if you look at the grapes you will hardly note the difference and today Refosc is mostly cultivated in the Slovenian part of Istria while in other areas the dominant sort is Malvasia.

Another excellent wine can be found around Momjan area made of Muscatel sort.

On Istria from Smrikve you can learn much more…

To learn more about Istrian gastronomy and wine please visit the E-book about Istrian cultural heritage on www.smrikve.com/istria/ named “Istria from Smrikve” or join Discover Istria from Smrikve group on Linked In.

The grapes are very nice this year… and the wine should be extraordinary again…

From today… the most important part of wine transformation process starts ;)… and at the beginning of November we will make the first quality level tasting check :)…
