Hi guys, I was thinking of organizing a nice little dinner in the month of June/July, even moving around to reach as many people as possible. Whoever is available and in favor of it, please leave here the days that work for them in the months of June and July and their city of residence, so we can try, within reasonable limits, to find a place that is more or less convenient for everyone.

To meet everyone's needs, I hope to hold it on a Saturday or a Sunday regardless.

Good idea

I'll try to propose: second half of July, Tuscany (Pisa?)

For me, any date and place (unless I have to drive for 10 hours) is fine, I'll organize myself.

Watch out, you risk coming to Milan ... even if it's not very "seaside"

Terenzio, for those living in Rome, if we want, we can also organize ourselves and all go together using fewer cars. In company, time passes faster.

And yeah, it's quite a distance.

I suggested Pisa since it can be a middle ground based on these statistics

Pisa can also be reached by friends from Liguria, Emilia, etc. Perhaps it could be improved with Florence for friends from the north-east.

Between Sicily (where?) and Lombardy, perhaps a good location would be Rome, but I read "who can make it to Tuscany or Lazio?"

for people who live far from one another, it is always hard to find a.... center of gravity (even a temporary one )

[I am writing to you while I am delighting myself with the Scarlatti k1 fresh from Antares' recording ]

for me, it will not be possible this summer to make major moves from Milan, due to the fact that there are already too many marked on the calendar.

But as luck would have it, one planned destination is exactly.... Rome!

I will be there with family from June 17th to 20th (barring major unforeseen events).

If the date should fall on one of those days and the city were "eternal".... I won't miss it!

Southeastern Sicily!

I have a vague idea of reaching Rome... but I have to ask permission from my kids and I think they will be a little reluctant to let me go!

Damn! But I would love it very much!

I live in Rome, and obviously I would prefer to play at home... but if it means going all the way to Tuscany... it can be done!

As far as the various weekends are concerned, I would only avoid Saturday, June 18th and Saturday, July 16th; for the rest, I shouldn't have any major problems.

Ciao

I am already leaving for Sperlonga on Saturday, July 23rd. If we could do it the Saturday before, that would be ideal. Naturally, I would like to be there! So, are we excluding Rome? However, it seems to me that July 23rd is not possible for Gino! Problematic, but what if I'm the one who can't make it!!! For me, other dates are fine, except also Saturday and Sunday, June 25th and 26th. I don't want to cause problems. I realize that some people might and would want to travel from Sicily and Sardinia!!!!! Just the fact that they have taken it into consideration is beautiful. !!!!

From the fact that no other messages have been added in the last two months, I deduce that... nothing is being done anymore?

Too bad... anyway, I am free on Saturday the 23rd. Therefore, if at least the Roman friends (and those nearby) are available, we could organize something "on the fly." What do you say?

Ciao
