We are warmly welcomed in Torino by Stefania Pettinato and her husband Ricky Jodde from Magmapadano/El Barrio. Thanks for showing us the town by night, lovely lunch and connecting us to interesting people!

At the Missione Cattolica Italiana - an Italian cultural and religious community in Zürich - we meet a lot of new friends:
and receive more objects for our growing collection and our bellies:
