Maybe it was because Pietro was in town, but the Rome office of ICBIE Europa has been buzzing like a beehive, cooking up all kinds of projects, thanks to the enthusiasm of its wonderful supporters, old and new. Last Wednesday evening, Pietro’s famous little apartment was stuffed full, as we had a final meeting with “o Presidente” (he departed from Rome on Friday morning, and at this moment is aboard his flight from Frankfurt to Salvador: Boa viagem, Pietro!).
Old supporters like David, Monica, Loona and Paolo had to snap into gear when they heard all the news from our newer members Damiano and Roberto, who are doing a terrific job organizing a whole summer full of events on the Roman seashore, at Porto di Enea (Capocotta). Every Saturday night from 6 PM onwards, there will be Brazilian cocktails and plenty of live capoeira and samba music until late at night. In August, we will be promoting concerts of Fred Menendez and his band, who are coming direct from Salvador. A whole summer, full of fun-packed crusading for the ICBIE cause!
