Support the People of San Felice
If you feel like a day out/ weekend away please do come and visit Polinago (in the Appennine about an hour out of Modena and at 800metres - the weather is stunning) and support the people of San Felice, a town hit by the first earthquake in May.A local artist Franca Gualmini has done an amazing job via Facebook and her art connections to collect donations of over 65 works of art by artists from all over Italy. We will be auctioning these on Sunday 5 August in the Piazza in Polinago between 1600 and 1900 hours. Alessandro Orlando will be the auctioneer and is donating his services for free (you can catch him on the auction show on channels 123 and 124.All funds raised will be going DIRECTLY towards the rebuilding of the Asilo Nido in San Felice (not to the Comune or any government instrumentality) which to date is not receiving any funding.Saturday 4 August is the Festival of Gombola one of the beautiful historic places in the Territory Of Polinago. We have accommodation at the Hotel Prato Verde (where a number of earthquake victims from Mirandola are also living) or Lo Scrigno B&B. Both are locate in town. We have some excellent restaurants in Polinago and also in Gombola.Let me know if you should decide to come and visit as I would be delighted to make your aquaintance and help to make your visit however long or short a pleasant one.
