Sorry, I was just moving...

Ciao a tutti! It's been a month since I don't write. I swear, I'm not lazy, I was just moving from my house. Well, actually, I spent also 2 weeks in Greece for a... ahem, updating tour! :-) Of course, if you want to work with tourists, you have to be a tourist, once in a while!

Anyway, my moving will be complete by the end of the week, but I'm already connected with my mobile phone. Lots of things are coming, I know you'll be on holiday, but, you know... there is the "archives" function, so just press it and read! :-)

A short summary of what is coming:
- On the (un)natural superiority of Greece in tourism;
- How to kick the tourist away in Pantelleria - Sicily (sniff! sniff!)
- ... big surprise... walking tours...

Dedicated to the accordions

Last Friday I've been in Cstelfidardo with Hin, Sally and Katrina Cheung, to visit the Zero Sette accordion factory, and the International Accordion Museum. Katrina, Hin's and Sally's daughter, is a great accordion player. Her instrument is made indeed by Zero Sette.
Actually, I discovered a world which I didn't know at all. Of course, I knew about accordions and the role of Castelfidardo, but I didn't imagine the quality, the knowledge and the charm which is behind an accordion.

Moreover, in this period of economical crisis I was happy to see a great factory like Zero Sette (unfortunately, they don't have a website), which is experiencing a flourishing time, due to the passion and the very high commitment they put on their job.

A great thanks to the Cheungs to make it possible.
