NIDO is Jonida Prifti's solo musical/poetic project. NIDO is the place where sound and verb nest. From the narrow and compressed space in which they coexist, the basses pulsate, trails of lucid and mental timbres soar which nourish breaths and movements followed by voices immersed in the music. "Carnica" takes its name from the Carnic Alps, an area frequented by the 'Carnic Bearers' who carried food and ammunition to the Italian soldiers during the First World War. Among a thousand women called to work in the Alps, the only one to die was Maria Plozner Mentil, under the deadly shot of an Austrian sniper, on February 15, 1916. At the time of her death, her traveling companion Rosalia was wound. The lyrics are freely inspired by Mary's last day. The word "Carnica" is thought of as a double meaning and therefore contains a double meaning. On one side it indicates the place where the events of the war take place, on the other side it indicates the "Meat". "The Carnic Bearer", in a figurative sense, transports food to the soldiers, i.e. to the actual slaughter meat in the Carnic area, metaphorically she therefore carries their drama on her shoulders.
