We are on our own

As mentioned in the homepage, Professor Carla Frova declined Professor Gatto's invitation to involve the University of Roma La Sapienza in our initiative on grounds that the idea did not come from the rank and file at the said university. The fact that Professor Gatto had been part of that university until last year did not count.

So each man on his own! Perhaps it is better this way. I certainly feel some relief at the fact that I am not going to spend hundreds of hours doing the thankless job of organizing such an event. But I will be in Rome in late August 2010 with many of my friends and other enthusiasts. I will make sure to play The Pines of Via Appia, part of the tone poem The Pines of Rome by Respighi, while actually marching on the Via Appia, wearing a Roman legionnaire's equipment. My military background gives me the right to do that. Until 1984 I was a major of the Medical Department of the Romanian Army. And I will do many other insane things! Of course, with the permission of Rome's City Hall. See you there if you dare!

Best,

Daniel Costa
