Subject: canto della Passione. Carpaneto P.no 14 maggio 2005

Dearest Beppe,
Ever since the very first moment, when Maria Teresa, Massimiliano and Carlo, have proposed to our City of Carpaneto to produce an evening with you, I had a feeling that it could be a great cultural event for our community.
Your "Canto della Passione" has affected me in a very particular way and it did go far behind whatever expectation I had: all of a sudden the evening became an intense participation by our community with meditation and prayer, through Your music and your Cantos.
Very deep also the performance and participation of the soprano Giovanna Gattuso, the vocal group of the Millennium Choir and the involvement of our Choir of "SS. Fermo & Rustico", conducted by Maestro Massimiliano Pancini.
For sure your "Canto della Passione" did not leave us the same: when we entered our church that evening we did not think the same way, your Canto took us in, it has enriched us all, giving us a chance to bring to our families and to our small Community, a great experience of meditation.
During the following days both the comments of the people who were there and the curiosity of the people who did not participate, has generated a positive "debate" in our town, Carpaneto Piacentino, giving a chance to reflect to the majority that at church, that night, got to participate to a deep and profound meditation, that did leave "something" very important in our soul and in our heart.
Through the Passion you were capable to break inside of us some major contradictions that Jesus has tried to teach us all, but that the consumerism and a part of society today have a tendency to make us forget...but as you say: "the most important gift we have in the end it doesn't cost one penny, Love is something everyone can afford."
I am convinced that from this "lesson of Christian life" we, who were present, came out with a considerable inner enrichment, and now it's up to us to keep nurturing it and practicing it daily.
On behalf of City Hall and the "Banca di Piacenza," I would like to thank You once more, the soprano Giovanna Gattuso, the group Millennium Choir, the Choir "SS. Fermo & Rustico".
Thank you and..
Happy Meditation to everyone
Pierluigi Caminati
Mayor of Carpaneto Piacentino
