After a pleasant (although it was a bit noisy due to road works…) lunch in April we have decided to return to Alice again. If you would like to come along, please email Beverly as we will need to book a table at this very popular restaurant. Hopefully outside table, if not inside. Cost: Pay for what you consume Reservations to: Beverly Ortelli, Email: 1superspider@bluemail.ch
The Pinacoteca is holding an exhibition of the works by Renato Ballerini. The artist, born in 1877 in Ravenna, Italy studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in his home town and became one of the protagonists of ticinese cultural life at the beginning of the 20th century when he transferred to Lugano in 1910. We hope that there will be plenty of interest among our members to see this small but interesting museum. After our visit we have arranged a table at the restaurant La Guana, Meride on Monte San Giorgio just a few kilometers away where we can enjoy lunch together choosing from their very interesting menu. Prices vary and everyone pays individually. Please let Beverly or Penny know if you would like to come along. Carpooling can be arranged from Lugano. Meet: Outside the museum Cost: CHF 10.- AVS CHF 8.- Raiffeisen card free entry Reservations to: Beverly Ortelli, Email: 1superspider@bluemail.ch Penny Osti, Email: p.osti.@bluewin.ch
We have already been to one photographic exhibition from the private collection of Phil and Rosella Rolla which was enjoyed by our members. This time Phil, recovering from a very serious illness, was looking though his many archives and came across a roll of film which had not been developed. To his surprise it contained photos he took in the early 1970’s of the California he grew up in. Some lovely photos of places which sadly no longer exist. Well worth the visit I can assure you. Rosella, his wife, will give us a guided tour and afterwards we will go to a local restaurant for afternoon tea or coffee.
