One week ago, on August 22, ICBIE President Pietro Gallina accompanied our talented artist Julio Costa to City Hall, for an appointment with the Mayor, João Henrique. The principal object of the meeting was to formalize the first international expedition of our two artists, and, in fact, an agreement was reached, where the City of Salvador will pay for the lads’ plane tickets to Italy. (We’re cooking up a big splash tour that zigzags from Milan to Rome, starting at the end of September. More to come.)
Pietro used the occasion to breach a larger issue. He presented a strong letter, both outlining the plans for building a theater in our central back courtyard and solleciting city support for the project. As a classic Pietro Gallina document, its proper place is in a dedicated article, in the Pages column to the left.
