Tra una vita e l'altra launch pics

We had a lovely event at the Italian Cultural Institute on Friday for the launch of Tra una vita e l'altra, with a warm welcome from Director Renate Sperandio. We had readings from Liz McManus, Seán Hardie, Federica Sgaggio, Afric McGlinchey and Nuala Ní Chonchúir. We missed our colleagues Catherine Dunne, Bill Wall and Valerie Bistany.

Beautiful music was provided by Maestro Giuilio 'Julyo' d'Agostino on guitar and mandolin. There was wine and chats afterwards in the library of this gorgeous building on Fitzwilliam Square. Thanks to all who came along on the night, including Mia Gallagher, Noel Monahan, Dan Bolger, Adam Wyeth and Paula McGlinchey.
