Today I have not wanted to enter Vatican matters because I imagine that even accompanying all the Catholics in the world in their immense and surprising pain shown to Holy Father Francisco on the day of his death, which was yesterday and it seems that we have crossed several universes, because although we do not believe it we carry Catholicism in our DNA. Even non -believers when they go to Rome and approach the Vatican know, or feel, who are in the center of the world.
Rest in peace holiness, and guide yours so that the new pontiff is a success of the conclave that we will live shortly. I fear that we will also live a change of era in what is concerned.
Bordering the popular poverty to avoid the greatness of the greatest history ever seen. Visiting the Vatican is visiting the great political power of centuries that have marked the history of the world. What a great beauty. Anyway, it is fashionable to seem poor, what we are going to do if we have touched this era of false modesty. However, there are characters that save us from a type of superior and real modesty, chosen from meditation and emotional intelligence. Today I will tell you about an exceptional woman, María FiennesSpanish by birth, and multicultural by destiny. I’m afraid we would like a similar destiny.
I knew about the arrival in Mallorca of the marriage that form the actorzo Joseph Fiennes and his wife the artist María Dieguez by chance and because they decided to buy a property in my town, which is Pollença. A stone house perched on the lunar mountains that look at the neighboring town and infinity. This house has history because it was visited by the second wife of the AGA KHANthe German.
It seemed to him little, and said very high that his kitchens were larger than that unworthy house of a leader. They told me that he arrived by helicopter and sneak immediately. Your mother’s things Renate Thyssennothing to do with our thyssen of a lifetime. I’m going through the branches, sorry. He also knew that the actor, lovely, by the way, had joined the local parents of parents, and that his behavior had redeemed everyone’s friendship. From the beginning they wanted to be one more and the greatest thing is that they have achieved it. There is a trick, and they behave as common citizens and currents who take their children to school, baptize them, infuse them and also give them a healthy life.
Joseph and Maria Fiennes.In that I know that they are extremists, so much that nothing goes through their palate that is not of a superior quality and with an ecological certificate. I do not remember when or how I met them, but I do remember being with them and feeling that they expected the famous question, for when an interview. As he had privileged information that petition took years to arrive, until there was no choice
to tell who that woman was so beautiful that she walked through palm or my people divinely dressed, with a perfect denture and a style that only those very privileged by genetics possess.
And the big day came. We arrived at your home on the mountain very tomorrow, with the best team of Vanity Fairwhere I collaborated at that time. And María Serena but distrustful began to tell us her fairy tale story. It started at the beginning, while serving us a delicious breakfast on the terrace that looks at the pool. And he said with all the naturalness of the world, because “I met Joe in an Italian restaurant, in Taormina. I had my reserved table and he was sitting right in front, with a friend of mine. I looked into my eyes and thought: ‘wow’. Our Spirits gathered. There was a very strong fusion. It was chemical,” recalls the Spanish.
Even so, The union of these two souls was not easy. At first, Maria did not know who she had managed to stagger her foundations with just a look.
When he discovered it, he overwhelmed. “I thought that going out with an actor would only give me problems.” And so it was published in the prestigious magazine. Then they spent a week seeing daily. He was the image of the watches of the Harry Winston jewelry brand, for which she worked as a model. And we already have the fairy tale that smells like a happy end and good food. It was the year 2004. He was 34 years old; She, 22. They were young, handsome and were in Sicily.
They looked at each other, they were looking for, they loved each other. “But nothing happened. Not a kiss.” He confessed to the first interview he gave to a media. Getting it was not easy, It is never with those who really have something to tell us to brighten our lives with beautiful stories. Both she and Joseph are very jealous of their intimacy. Even more in Mallorca, where they have established their refuge: “We love being at home and celebrating. Invite family and friends.”
It is usual to see them walk through palm. Simple Discreet, modern and elegant. Maria who finally lost her fear told us because she had chosen her house to give birth to her daughter. A natural birth, without epidural, and with the husband taking her hand. That is, a childbirth of those of a lifetime, like the one my mother had to bring me to the world not far from the magical world of fiennes. He also told us that his brother -in -law Ralph Fiennes visited them often with his family, and that his family, herself was very close to her, the mother and the sister, to help her with the girls, Eva and Isabel, and Mallorquinas of life and heart.
“When we said goodbye in Taormina, each one turned to his city,” Maria recalled to explain, already totally loose, as his relationship began. He a Londonwhere he lived. She Bernathe Swiss city where he was born and where he was studying his economy studies, which later changed for Fine Arts. “Then there was neither facetime nor WhatsApp, so we talked on the phone. Our bills shot out. A plane ticket came out cheaper. Until one day he told me: ‘I’m going to Cabo del Cabo to shoot a movie. Do you come with me?”
Maria went for a week and stayed a month. It’s a lot of Mary. Do you know how Shakespeare in Love fell? As I tell, in a restaurant in South Africa, where the Spanish observed a gesture of the actor that caused him to definitely surrender. “There were many poor children on the street and when we sat in a restaurant they stared at us from the other side of the glass.
It’s true, Joseph transmits goodness and bonhomy. On his return to Europe, the couple settled in the old town of Bern. 12 months spent listening Edith Piafdrinking red wine and cooking his favorite dish together, lentils: “It seemed Paris in the twenties.” Take now. Handsome, young and eating lentils, do not forgive because they do not consume meat.
Maria knew that city well. In it he had raised after his parents emigrated in the seventies: “Like so many other Spaniards.” It was not his first destination away from his native Galicia. Before, his mother, Heighthe had gone 17 years to work from a seamstress to Paris. His father, Gerardohe had lived in Hamburg (Germany), where he installed posts for electricity. After
marrying set for Swiss. In the Helvetic country they began a Hard life as emigrants.
She worked as a nurse; He, a pastry chef in a confectionery. “He loves to cook. He does very well. Above all, the sweets. As a child, he ate the best.” Soon, the marriage had his first daughter, Mercedes13 years older than Maria. “We are the best friends. We talk every day.”
Merche was born in Galicia and from four to eight he grew up with his aunt Lola, in Barcelona. “She could not have children and my parents worked. In addition, her idea was always to return to her land.” When María was born, the family situation was more stable. While Merche studied at the French Lyceum, Maria did it in a German school.. “Of that time, Maria remembers that she was the rare.
“In my school they were all blond with blue eyes. I had a different name, a different eye color. I suffered harassment and racism.
While remembering her childhood, Maria looks in her eyes and simply counts. “I crossed with Nelson Mandela In the elevator when Joe was in South Africa rolling goodbye Bafana based on the South African leader. I was also impressed by Pope Francis when we were in the Vatican, at a reception with more people. ”
Removing importance. However, he cannot do it when he poses for the photos that illustrated the report of an important Spanish, and yet unknown. Until today. During the photographic session his race, his strength, his power and the innate class that defines it came out. By the way, the number of friends who have personally met Pope Francis is incredible. Maria fervent Catholic spoke of him with admiration. Is there more beautiful history?
We had to remember it, because Mallorca makes us very expensive, unpayable, conquering the good world of the world so that we can share it and defend it from rot together. People who flee from the politically correct, people who commit themselves, people knew, cultivated, filled with color our invaded, lost, of an island that no longer exists but refuses to disappear.
Thanks Maria, therefore. By the way, in Palma they live in a palace house turned into beautiful floors. Her neighbor below is the current girlfriend of Mario Condethe great María José Castellvi. I have not been able to repress myself, I’m sorry. I can the very big, and what I have told you today.
