๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น La parola del mese: โ€œscombussolatoโ€ ๐ŸŒ€
Hai mai avuto la sensazione che la tua giornata fosse sottosopra? ๐Ÿ™ƒ Allora sei scombussolato!
๐Ÿ“– Significato: confuso, turbato, fuori posto, con le idee o lo stomaco sottosopra.
โœ๏ธ Esempi:
Dopo il viaggio in aereo ero tutto scombussolato! โœˆ๏ธ
Il cambio dโ€™orario mi ha scombussolato la giornata. โฐ
Ho lo stomaco scombussolato. ๐Ÿคข
๐Ÿ’ก Curiositร : viene dal verbo scombussolare, che significa โ€œmettere in disordine, sconvolgereโ€. Si usa sia per le persone sia per le cose, nel parlato di tutti i giorni! ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
๐Ÿ‘‰ E tu, quando ti senti scombussolato? Scrivilo nei commenti! ๐Ÿ’ฌ
๐Ÿ“š Vuoi imparare lโ€™italiano come lo parlano gli italiani? Iscriviti ai nostri corsi! ๐ŸŽ“โœจ

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น The Word of the Month: โ€œscombussolatoโ€ ๐ŸŒ€
Ever felt like your day was turned upside down? ๐Ÿ™ƒ Then youโ€™re scombussolato!
๐Ÿ“– Meaning: confused, unsettled, out of place, with your thoughts or your stomach upside down.
โœ๏ธ Examples:
After the flight I was completely out of sorts!โœˆ๏ธ
The schedule change threw off my whole day. โฐ
I have an upset stomach. ๐Ÿคข
๐Ÿ’ก Fun fact: it comes from the verb scombussolare, meaning โ€œto throw into disorder, to upset.โ€ Itโ€™s used for both people and things, in everyday speech! ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
๐Ÿ‘‰ And you, when do you feel scombussolato? Tell us in the comments! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

BODY&SOUND: Music Meets Image
October 6 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Italian director and film producer Alberto Nacci, in San Francisco for his US exhibition FRAMES, will be in conversation with professional trombonist Marty Wehner to discuss the making of the short music films that inspired the large-format stills on view at the Museo.

The evening centers on selected screenings of his videos, each paired with live discussion. Between screenings, Nacci and Wehner will trade questions on technique and process, and the audience is invited to join the conversation. The discussion will also touch on anthropological themes regarding the relationship between musicians and their musical instruments, the central theme of the FRAMES exhibition.
The evening will close with an exceptional live performance by professional jazz musicians:

Chris Siebert, electric piano
Marty Wehner, trombone
Mark Heshima Williams, bass
