The new Renaissance of Assisi

Today I went at the presentation of a special book, “Il nuovo rinascimento di Assisi” (the new Renaissance of Assisi), which is about the last ten years of reconstruction (after the 1997 earthquake), and development.

I contributed a lot to this book, dedicating hours and hours of my free time to it. Giorgio Bartolini, former Mayor of Assisi, thanked me in a very nice way, with a copy signed by him.

This is a picture I’ve taken at the event (here a bigger one on flickr.com), at the Lyrick Theatre of Assisi, where more than 600 people gathered.

I’m proud of having been a part of this book.
