It had been a long two days. In the late evening participants were invited to a pretty theatre, Teatro della Pergola (kindly loaned to us for free by the city of Florence), for a memorable concert by a group of musicians gathered from all over the world, l’Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio. They merged together themes and music from Latin America and Asia and Africa and Europe. There was something infectious about their music and about their clear delight in sharing it with us. Very soon people were, literally, dancing in the aisles, culminating in a gigantic conga that snaked its way around the theatre. I shall draw a discreet veil over the rest of the evening. Let me just say that I was not in my seat…!
