I'm so sorry for what happened to your house, I just read about it... Happy nobody got hurt! I wanted to tell you that finally I feel really HONOURED to introduce you, absolutely one of my favourite authors, it is still a dream for me! You saw, at first I was totally terrified, but finally I was excited, I know I've been very lucky.. In fact, one of the guys who were there asked me how old I was, 'cause I appeared (and in fact I am!) too young for having that role! So thanx thanx thanx, it was just like a dream came true... You'll have my news again when the video will be ready, promised! All the best, Chiara Hi Robin!

It was such a pleasure to meet you and I decided to write you here about something I told you about while we were in Piazza Santa Croce. remember? Actually I told you something not correct: Florence's Major has not eliminated the historical tradition of 'CALCIO IN COSTUME/CALCIO STORICO' and here is a link to Italian Wikipedia http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcio_in_costume Sorry but for now I am not seeing anything in English but I will keep searching and let you know. All the best Valentina Dear Robin,

Perhaps I have used the word 'amazing' too often but it does describe how I felt on seeing the bridge and walking over it. All the displays of gold and silver goods were glittering in the light, there were crowds of people, and then I looked up at the ancient windows above it all. Amazing! :) Robin It was an amazing bridge. Perhaps I have used the word ‘amazing’ too often but it does describe how I felt on seeing the bridge and walking over it.

I love it too. That amazing bridge is Ponte Vecchio (“old bridge”). :)
