29 December 04 The Ice Gala in Bolzano will be shown on Italia 1 next Sunday, 02/01/05 at 22.35. Don't miss it if you want to see Fede & Massi's exhibition!! Then, a link to an article from Skate Today: Hot Young Italian Dancers Wow Skating Fans. Also, I've added in the news page some links to the sites of the next events where Fede &  Massi will compete - starting from the National Championships in Merano next week. 17 December 04 Last weekend Federica & Massimo competed at the 2nd National Dance Competition, held in Milan. They won of course, but what's more, they skated really well and got the highest marks ever for their FD: technical merit 5.8 5.7 5.8 5.7 5.7 5.7 5.8 artistic impression 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9   8 December 04 Videos from Cup of Russia (CD, OD, FD and Gala!!).  7 December 04 A lot of photos from TEB added (and I really mean A LOT, they're about 100 - 7 of the CD, 44 of the OD and 46 of the FD - Silvia, it's great that you have a digital camera now!! ;) ). Also, I've updated the "toponiglio" story in the mascotte page. 5 December 04 New pics from TEB and videos from Cup of Russia :) 1 December 04 pictures time! I've added a new page with photos from Cup of Russia (thanks to Olia!). Here are Fede & Massi's quotes from the ISU report. And, I forgot to write this before... Fede & Massi had a "special mission" to accomplish at Trophée Eric Bompard, as they had promised my friends and me that they would have announced the name of the new mascotte at that competition. So in the K&C, after the FD, they showed a piece of paper saying something like "Welcome to toponiglio Franklin, Frank for close friends" - So, that's it, the mascotte's name is Frank! :) Unfortunately this didn't get to tv, but I'm waiting for a friend to send me the scan of the paper ;) Oh, and "toponiglio" is a mix of the word "mouse" and "rabbit", as the mascotte should be a rabbit, but we used to call it "topo", that is "mouse"... 28 November 04 CONGRATULATIONS TO FEDE & MASSI FOR THEIR 3rd PLACE AT COR!!!!! This is the first important medal for them!!!! I'm so happy for them!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's hope they'll move up of a place before the end of the competition.. I'll keep my fingers crossed!! 24 November 04 I'm really sorry for not updating the site for quite a long time, but I had no internet access :( Now I found another way to put up the new pages, so let's begin with the work! ----------------------------------------------------- Last week Federica & Massimo debuted their programs at their first GP competition of the season, Trophée Eric Bompard in Paris. They ended in 5th place (a bit disappointing :( ), behind Gregory & Petukhov, with a total score of 177.94 (they were actually 4th in the FD, but this wasn't enough to overtake G&P). Anyway, this weekend Fede & Massi are skating at Cup of Russia (Official Website), a new chance to show their potential. 19 October 04 I've put up a page with the story of Fede & Massi's new mascotte :) 7 October 04 New photos from the competition in Lecco!! I put some here on my site, but you can find more on Alhrayth's website. Visit also the Fan Section to download a couple of videos from the FD! 6 October 04 I was thinking of redesigning the site, but I'm too lazy right now and haven't found a nice idea yet, so... I'll just keep updating this version :p Last weekend Federica & Massimo competed at the first national dance cup, and of course won it! I've written a short report about their FD, and I'll soon add photos and a video of the last minute of the program. At the moment I've just some pics of the podium and off ice shots with the new mascotte, included in the report. Oh, and now I can also add the FD photos from the summer show and practice in Pinzolo :) 14 September 04 Many great pics from the shows in Courmayeur (56) and Pinzolo (22)!!! Fede & Massi are now back training in Milan, preparing for the first national competition (I'm not sure when it is exactly, as on the FISG schedule it says 25th and 26th September, while on the website of the icerink organising it, it says 2nd and 3rd October.... mistery!!!) 20 August 04 In the Fan Area there are some short clips of the new exhibition from the show in Pinzolo :) 19 August 04 New photos from the Stars on Ice show in Courmayeur! 17 August 04 Yesterday I was at the show in Pinzolo, and I enjoyed Fede & Massi's programs soooo much!! First they skated their new Free Dance (but only part of it: the slow piece and the fast one at the end), I was really looking forward to see it :) And for the second part of the show they did their new exhibition, inspired from the momix dance group; it's very original and cool! The music is a kind of percussions, and well, it's difficult to explain, just have a look at the pics I took (the quality is not that good, but well, my camera can't do more than that :p). I hope to have soon many other photos of the show to add, perhaps before the end of the week. 13 August 04 Fede & Massi have a new exhibition!! I'm waiting for two friends of mine to send me lots of pics of the two programs from the show in Courmayeur (I had a preview yesterday directly from their digital cameras, and wow, I can assure you that the new exhibition looks really fab!!!!!). You can find one of the pics in the frame on the left :) Next Monday I'm going to the show in Pinzolo, and I'll be there the following day too to watch Fede & Massi's practice :) 20 July 04 New videos are up! And on this site there are some photos of the show in San Sebastian: txuriberri.com :) 1 July 04 Some useful info if you're planning a trip to the Alps in August ;) Federica & Massimo are skating in 8 stops of the Italian Stars on Ice summer tour: 9th August - Merano 10 th August - Bormio 11th August - Courmayeur 12th August - Vipiteno 13th August - Canazei 14th August - Baselga di Pinè 15th August - Asiago 16th August - Pinzolo 24 June 04 Hi, I'm back! Federica and Massimo will skate in an exhibition in San Sebastian (Spain) this Saturday, 26th June. Some info here. Eventually I've remembered to put online some pics from the Art on Ice exhibition [I've also used one of these photos to make a new wallpaper :)] 30 May 04 Change in the videos! I've replaced the 2003 OD with two other videos, so now you'll find all Fede & Massi Free Dances to download :) I also wanted to tell you that the site won't be updated for about one month, as I'm leaving today for England, and I don't know exactly when I'll be back! So, bye everyone :) 27 May 04 Yesterday evening I managed to watch Fede & Massi's practice! Last week Bestemianova & Bukin worked with them on choreographies, and they've almost finished their new FD, which looks really great, with intricate moves and beautiful lifts. There will be also a surprise regarding spins, lol! Last Saturday I went to the show in Lecco, and I've written a review, that you'll find in the fan area. Two videos from 2002/2003 season have also been added. 10 May 04 I've added some more pics from Worlds :) Federica and Massimo will skate in a show in Lecco on Saturday 22nd May. More info on ticketone.it. 25 April 04 It should be official now, so I guess I can write it here too: Federica and Massimo have decided to stay in Milan, their new coaches are Paola Mezzadri and Roberto Pelizzola. I'm so glad they haven't left Milan!!!!! Their new homerink is Forum, in Assago, where they'll train till 10th July, while in August they'll skate in Pinzolo (somewhere in the Alps, near Trento, I think!). 22 April 04 Federica and Massimo are back on the ice!! They started today to practise for the new season :) About the site: updates in the fan area! I've uploaded videos of Federica and Massimo with their previous partners and created a "Fan art" section, with the little works I made for Fede & Massi this year. 16 April 04 New pics, both from practice and competition at Worlds :) I should have more time to work on the site now, as I graduated two days ago!! (that means, I'm officially unemployed ;) ) 12 April 04 First pics from Worlds are up! And I'm soon going to add more of them. I've also changed the left navigation-bar, I hope you like the new design :) 1 April 04 I'm back from Dortmund!! Federica and Massimo ended in 9th place with a brilliant performance in their FD, they were absolutely beautiful to watch! Considering all the problems related to their sudden change of coach - just two weeks before Worlds - this result is a big success for them. In Dortmund they had Joan Slater listed as coach (they worked with her in the past, especially on compulsory dances), as she accepted to help them in this situation, but they're now looking for a new coach. I just hope they won't have to leave Italy... I'm currently writing a report of my week in Dortmund (in Italian first, then I'll do an English version too), I hope it won't take me too long to finish it! I added videos of their wonderful Tango and of the compulsory dance in the fan section, have a look! 19 March 04 Hi all :) Tomorrow night I'm leaving for Dortmund, I can't wait to see Worlds live!!!

I was in Budapest to see them skate, and they were wonderful both in the OD and FD! I'll write a short review as soon as I find enough time :) You can see some off ice photos in the fan section. 1 February 04 I've added videos of the old programs in the Fan Section :) I've also found a new, short article that was in the paper before Italian Nationals.

Thanks to Katja for her Bofrost Cup pics :) Moreover, today there was a nice article in a weekly sport magazine, that I've readily scanned ;) (but not translated yet!) - and I'm also very excited because this fan site was listed on the article!!! Wheeee!!!! 9 November 03 Federica and Massimo placed 3rd at Bofrost Cup! You can download the video of their free dance at Skate America from TAHbKA's site :) I wanted to take screenshots of it, but unfortunately the program I use for screenshots can't read the file format... I hope to have soon photos of their new programs to add to the site.   20 October 03 Last weekend Federica and Massimo debuted their new programs before the home crowd in Milan. I only saw one CD (Waltz) and the OD, so here are some photos. They were first ahead of Aureli & Vaturi (see results). Besides, as promised, now that the season has started I've added pics of their practice with Bestemianova & Bukin :) 10 October 03 Some little updates here and there...
