Dear Tango friends, we send also to this list a message just mailed to the Tango-L; we made a big effort to succeed in this project and now we should like to have a good result; we are a non profit Association and we are trying to cover the big expenses we supported for making it.
We are very happy to inform you that our Association, El Barrio Tanguero of Torino, Italy has finally published its first Tango Calendar. It is a project started in the past springtime with the Patronage of Province and the City of Torino involving the young pupils of the Albertine Academy of Fine Arts; we asked them to write, paint drawings about Tango, in the way they liked. We promised them an Exibition and the publication on a calendar. We received about twenty works and making a selection we choose twelve drawings for the twelve months of the year. It was also hard the choice of the place where to place the exibition: for a communion of arguments we though fine to look for in the older part of our city, actually immigration zone. Past thursday, in spite of the falling rain, in the Molasso Court, Borgo Dora Street, Porta Palazzo zone, we inaugurated the Show of drawings and published the Calendar of the year 2000 to the fearless people. We also provided to enrich the event with the Tango sound of the quartet "Che' Tango" of Miguel Acosta, that excited the people up to the point to make them dancing over the stones of the court. Honestly we must confess that a glass of good wine greatly helped the success of the evening. We are telling you all this because now we are proposing the calendar to all Tango Association and Tango lovers: for Itl. 20.000 (USD. 13.00) you can have the first calendar about tango, realized with works of young artists on polished paper and with twelve drawings, one per month. It is also available on our web site the thumbnails of some drawings. Looking forward to read you, we send a big CIAO.
