Inauguration! ICBIE Tenth Anniversary Celebrations
On the 28th of November we inaugurated the celebrations for our tenth anniversary. We kicked off with the event “EBM-expositions, bazaar and music”, with an extensive photo exhibition that documents the highlights of the ICBIE’s history, from 2005 up to this year; with a little market of new and used clothes (T-shirts, gadgets, etc.) received in donation and beautifully presented by Rosilene Mangueira; and a rousing performance of rappers and some of Salvador’s upcoming rock bands.
Old and new friends, Ribeira kids, simple bypassers and exponents of the Italian community came to see us. With their presence, they all showed their ties and their esteem for our Institute.
Everyone enjoyed our photographic exhibit, a testimonial of our decade long efforts, with an impressive collection carefully prepared by our president Marcella Sgura, assisted by Ivanildo Viana and the artist Gessica Lima, under the guidance of our artistic director Pietro Gallina.
The MEPE museum also furnished useful information for those who were curious to learn about the Itapagipe peninsula.
Our welcome also included refreshments, with delicious açai offered by our friend Cid.
Now we hope that everyone will come back to the successive events, running until December 20th, that can be consulted on this site. See you soon!
