On this day John Lennon, musician, political activist, and one of the founding members of the pop group The Beatles, was shot dead by Mark David Chapman, outside his Manhattan flat in New York. Hit twice in the back and twice in the shoulder at close range, Lennon was rushed in a police car to the emergency room of Roosevelt Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival at 11:15 p.m. The assassination took place just three weeks after the release of the album “Double Fantasy”, Lennon’s comeback to music after spending five years at home bringing up his son, Sean. John Lennon’s death triggered an outpouring of grief on an unprecedented scale throughout the world.
😢😢😢
A sad day indeed, Luisa.

What a pity it’s not possible to find out the meaning of the underlined worlds with a simple smartphone. Anyway your comment reminds me of a trip I did in New York to visit Lennon’s Strawberry Fields Memorial in Central Park. It’s interesting to know that the mosaic installed into the pavement with the word IMAGINE in the center, was donated by the city of Naples.
I didn’t know that about the City of Naples, Claudio. Yet another interesting Anglo-Italian connection!
I’m sorry about the underlined words but I’ve not been able to find any solution for the smartphone. In fact the solution that I found for the computer is not what it was originally intended for, but a little workaround (espediente) that I found after a long search online!
