Chicago is an exciting and vibrant city and its architecture is a symbol of artistic achievements honored by the entire world.
Consul General of Italy Alessandro Motta was incredibly kind and provided me with a warm Italian welcome to the city of Chicago. A tour, a meeting with Prof. Damiano Rondelli of University of Illinois and a pasta lunch would soon follow

Hi Luigi
ReplyDeleteChicago must have been a pleasant break for you. You look happy and different. Keep it up. You're doing great. J
Sounds like a wonderful rest day in one of your favorite cities...the photos are very nice! Keep going, Luigi, we're all behind you!
ReplyDeleteLuigi,
ReplyDeletewhat a milestone. Must feel good to be in Chicago!
I'm glad you rested up a bit.
I read that getting a deep-tissue massage can do wonders for athletes. You might want to consider that during your next break-day.
Good luck!
Fabio
meritato riposo...ultima parola per oggi: la ricerca è l'anima della scienza:) dobbiamo tutti lavorare duramente per consentire ai validi professionisti votati a farlo di lavorare serenamente e svolgere la propria attività scientifica...anche in ITALIA:) Dio benedica il Dott. Mandelli e tutti coloro che come lui, con immane sforzo, riescono a conseguire obiettivi eccezionali, dando una speranza a tanta gente, condividendo le proprie esperienze con umiltà e rigore:)grazie, Luigi, per il gran lavoro di sensibilizzazione che stai facendo. Ti seguiamo in molti, davvero:) Carla
ReplyDeleteChecking you out every couple of days- I am fascinated with your words about biking promoting courage but urban sprawl spurs fear. What a gift your are giving to everyone who joins you in the journey across the country- one many could never make. I remember the metallic taste in the mouth oh so well- even water like metal!!
ReplyDeleteE ti sei pure fatto la barba per l'occasione.... M
