On the 2nd of January we had a visitor from the Dante Alighieri Society of Verbania. Dante member Nicoletta Testori presented, on the behalf of Silvia Magistrini, president of the Dante Verbania, the book
D COME DANTE - Il Comitato Verbanese della Dante Alighieri 1906 - 2018
to our Auckland branch. In the foto from left: Alessandra Zecchini, Dante Auckland former president and current committee member, Nicoletta Testori, Dante Verbania, Flavia Berucci, Dante Auckland vice-president, and Sandro Aduso, Dante Auckland former president.
Il Comitato Verbanese della Dante Alighieri (Dante Alighieri Society Verbania) and del VCO (Verbano-Cusio-Ossola) was founded in 1906. Verbania is the most populous comune (municipality) and the capital city of the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola in Piedmont. It is situated on the shore of Lake Maggiore. A very active society (see the program below for this trimester) located in a beautiful part of Italy! An article about the meeting also appeared on the local newspapers Verbano on 13 January and Eco Risveglio (see the clippingS at the end of the page).
A special thank you to Nicoletta and her husband Giacomo for the visit, and to the committee of Verbania for the lovely book, a welcome addition to our library.
