Another Door Closes
A telephone call a few moments ago from Giona Beltrametti with the news of the death of our friend Giovanna Manduca. A flicker of images. An old Citroen DS. The Palazzo dei Diamante in Ferrara. Summer lightning and thunder. Sara spinning a hula hoop on flagstones scattered with bonzai. A stunning white philadelphus. Giovanna in Parma watching Giovanni paint while Steve played. Our love and sympathy to Michele, Serafina, Sara and their families.
