The tests never end

“The tests never end”, Yesterday morning in the main square of Bitburg we celebrated in an unusual exchange of gifts. We would have expected a formal ceremony where the Mayor together with all institutions collect "the thousands of new" by the various ambassadors of peace in a completely formal. Again the nationality of Bitburg, I rate it establish an innovative way of welcome, a model with no frills but full of meaning. The exhibit was done by each group in the square next to the Museum of Beer and Dr. Joachim Randals mayor of the city, to spend ourselves on behalf of its guests.

4 * We were the group to be welcomed, the mayor in perfect Italian, not only introduced the group to its citizens by telling our story, but presented in Calabria, with the wisdom of our beauties. After the performance we delivered the letters to send greetings for the occasion by Mayor William Mormanno Armentano, with its license plate. Then it was time to present the Country Park with beautiful Pollino note sent by the president of the Pollino National Park Pappaterra Hon Dominic and finally very thing that makes us proud, a letter of Hon. Professor Regional Councillor Mario Caligiuri current culture. Taking anything away from old friends Dominic and William, who has always been our supporters, the letter from Hon. Caligiuri showed that the group as well as being always "ambassador of peace" is the undisputed spokesman of "culture and values."

I remind everyone that this is a festival Cioffi and 5 years were not invited Italian groups, due to some "excess leading role" on the part of our countrymen predecessors. Our task, in this case, as happened in Russia last year, there were 20 years but the reason was always the same, is twofold. Have to not only give the best of ourselves, but re-open a credit line for some "bischerello", to use the Dolphin, it was interrupted.

Even more motivated by this additional challenge, in the afternoon we "baptized" the stage of the Festival, we did dancing and singing with the children of Bitburg. You should have seen their faces, they danced to the sound of the tarantella, laughing. When asked "do you like?" The answer was always anticipated by a smile "yes. I love, Miromag --- num! "(Too difficult to pronounce in )

Finished we went to the heart of Bitburg, a curiosity about the city, small but important part of Germany. A survey carried out between the Germans put the mark of Bitburg in terms of knowledge of the first logo of Mercedes, impressive is not it? Returning to us by visiting the city with its many bars and restaurants on the promenade, with its flower boxes in the windows, the show is really fascinating. Walking along the course, with lots of homegrown pride we visited a young entrepreneur Mormannese, who emigrated from almost 13 years has been able to highlight his professionalism and construct a point of excellence, meeting not for the Italians, it would be too easy, but for the citizens of Bitburg.

His name is Roberto Leo! Roberto Bravo, with your professionalism and cordiality, from prestige to Mormanno and as such we can not Essert grateful! In almost forgot, the food is good but the coffee is better, so if any of you were in the area has a reason to visit him.

Also in costume through the streets of Bitburg, one can not but note the order and cleanliness, this shares some would say things for granted. The problem of separation, very hot topic in Italy, not only here to do, but let me tell you how ... but it is too long, I will only say that the glass containers have 3 White, Brown, Green. In some cases we have even one of these!

Between a drunk and another 20 were made to enter and we are ready to give life to the grand gala of the festival now in its 47 * edition. While the band sang the Bitburg national anthem we marched and sang, a moment of pride that fits in well with the 150 ° Unification of Italy. We talked before the mayor of Bitgurg Dr. Joachim randals and how it is operating, well after publishing our article "Next stop, Bitburg," has made copies and distributed among its citizens. Delfino, Roberto and many others getting the article followed the following comment "familiar with its history, both promote and share it with others and promote the study of others, in this case our own."

At about 22 we performed in Palatenda, with an audience full of people, "pecuraro" was made by the master! After the performance we started our visit to the various stands. Thousands of people were drinking beer, eating and joking, a little note: I did not see policemen, gendarmes to guard the square, if someone has lifted your elbow out of the square, almost symbolizing that he had missed an opportunity to be together.

Finally, the beers are poured into glasses, if any of these were dropped, unfortunately, does not expect the guy to pick it up steps to depose him in the special bays, the citizen who picks it up and takes him to the right place. Another good lesson in civics would say, too bad there for us this is no longer a subject of study!
