Thank you so much all friends in Colonnata and Global Stone Factory for all your wonderful help to make the symposium in Querciola and the exhibition in Colonnata to a beautiful reality! 
              Finally all the small sculptures was loaded on the truck - and why Diana did you have to have 45 marble bases for your 10 sculptures? How did you manage to put up all the bases yourself???
                    After a month in Colonnata the Rhinos horn has got a natural patina from all the hands that stroke it. Touch it! It brings luck!
