A Sunday with Compagnia Corale
Last May 17th we hosted with great pleasure Compagnia Corale di Imperia, a choir of old friends. They used the Chapel to hold a stage to prepare next summer concerts.
Vittoria, choir’s director, with Michele e Malina
It’s been a wonderful day, both for fun and weather: the sunny and hot (it seemed August) day gave us the opportunity to have lunch in the garden and our guests had a great time listening to the choir’s performance.
At the end of the day all felt satisfied: the singers because the acoustics of the Chapel proved to be excellent and the freshness helped their job; the guests because they had the opportunity to learn how it’s difficult to prepare an event and listened to good music; we, because it’s always a great pleasure to help friends.
Hey, Compagnia Corale, we look forward to see you again!
Gorgeous Day of Sport
So, the first stage of Giro d’Italia 2015 got the first verdict: the Flower Riviera is stunning.
Perfect day: bright sky, mild temperature (around 22°C/72F); calm sea, rippled only by a very light breeze.
Many many people at the starting point, to give the first push to athletes; many many people along the cycling path, on the overpasses, on the Aurelia Road; many many peole at the finish line to celebrate all, winners and defeated.
Watching TV’s images I was impressed by the colors: a lot of green, on the sides of the cycling path and on the mountains; the deep blue of the sea, with glares of the waves reflecting sun rays; the perfect ground of the path; the shirts of the 22 teams; the Giro’s pink; the light blue of the sky; the sudden dark of tunnels.
It’s been fantastic to see the “trains” formed by the athletes hurtling on the old path of the railway. The winners reached a more than 54 Km/h (33.5 miles/h) average speed: almost like the real train!
We have so many months ahead to enjoy one of the longest cycling paths in Europe: would you join us?
