The Wellington boot is a type of boot based upon leather Hessian boots. They were worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. This novel "Wellington" boot became a staple of hunting and outdoor wear for the British aristocracy in the early 19th century.
Wellington boots are also known as rubber boots, wellies, wellingtons, topboots, billy-boots, gumboots, gumbies, gummies, rainboots, Alaskan Sneakers, kboots, gum rubbers.
Wellington boots are waterproof and are most often made from rubber or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) a halogenated polymer. They are usually worn when walking on wet or muddy ground, or to protect the wearer from heavy showers and puddles. They are generally just below knee-high although shorter boots are available.
The "Wellington" in contemporary society is a very common and necessary safety or hygiene shoe for vastly diverse industrial settings: for heavy industry with an integrated reinforced toe; protection from mud and grime in mines, from chemical spills in chemical plants and from water, dirt, and mud in horticultural and agricultural work; and serving the high standard of hygiene required in food processing plants, operating theatres, and dust-free clean rooms for electronics manufacture.
Sorrido a lei e piango per lei
io mi specchio negli occhi suoi
Un angelo blu
vola in cielo
Un angelo blu
che se fischio torna giù
Un angelo blu
e lei lo sa
è tutto ciò che io ho
e in gabbia la terrò.
Io amo lei
e lei ama me
più bella cosa al mondo non c'è.
Un angelo blu
vola in cielo
Un angelo blu
che se fischio torna giù
Un angelo blu
e lei lo sa
è tutto ciò che io ho
e in gabbia la terrò.
