As promised, here a disclosure of our next trip, starting on Monday!
I wanted to post you a simple image instead of many words, so I followed the suggestions of many and tried to get one from chat gpt:
Frustrated by the fact that, despite being very close to what I asked, it didn’t seem to be able to tweak some simple things in the 10 free images generation available, I moved to other programs, like Da Vinci:
or Gemini:
Ending up with Claude:
Ok, you may have guessed our itinerary. The thing that still sounds unbelievable is that in 15 days we have managed to plan meetings with 14 people: museum directors and curators, luthiers, string makers, da spalla players, and also friends and relatives.
It will be a very intense trip!

We are a bit stressed because today, in a bank holiday day and just before leaving, our bigger car broke, so we will have to go with the small one! It was just a tire, then something else came out, and anyway it was not possible to have it repaired in time for Monday. When the tow truck went away I taught it was a pity I forgot to take a pic for the newsletter, so I asked Claude:
Maybe I’ll start to draw again myself… 🙄
