   Ciao,

   grazie a tutti per aver partecipato con noi alla celebrazione di questo sacro giorno.

   E’ un sogno che prende forma, poter vivere a migliaia di Kilometri di distanza…vivendo insieme eventi come questi.

   Un ringraziamento particolare a doggybag e allo staff di Barganews per la realizzazione e riuscita del collegamento, e a Filippo come ambasciatore all’estero per la messa a punto e la regia.

   Vi amiamo amici e amiche, e non c’e’ bisogno di fare nomi, perche’ ognuno di noi sa’ e sente dentro l’amore che ci unisce, che distanza e tempo non cancellera’ o indebolira’.

   1Love, 1World, 1Family

   Thank you Simone .. we too enjoyed your marriage day. It was something that barganews has wanted to do for some time .. a simultaneous web event.

   It was fun to see just how small the world has become but also at the same time paradoxically just how really large it is. Just think of this … on barganews yesterday there were images and sounds more or less in real time from two rooms. In one room the date was 1st April, it was night time and in the middle of summer …we could see people in shorts, fans over head keeping them cool as they danced. In the other room (here in Barga ) it was still 31st March, daylight and people wearing overcoats to keep warm …. and yet we were linked, enjoying each others company.

   The party really was taking place simultaneously but a world apart.

   

   I think at this point we also need a word of thanks to Riccardo and Tommy at the L’Osteria who set up the link, webcams, huge monitor and ran the event so successfully.
