CongressNews No. 5


Ciao Italy!

The first time I came to Italy it was the day before Christmas, 5 years ago. I was with my best friend Yukari Mito, 2 Dan Professional.

Immediately after our arrival careless of the jetlag we immediately invaded Gionata’s house. All members of the go club brought something to eat and Italian wine (good!). We were a bit confused by their strange English with an Italian accent but we enjoyed ourselves a lot. At the end we started a Midnight Christmas Eve Pair Go.

I used to think that in Italy everyone goes to church to pray on Christmas Eve, but I found out that all members of the Go club in Milano are really different: they all eat, drink and enjoy themselves. Since that night I became a big fan of Milano Go club, that’s why I very often come to Italy. You can call it Italian mania (almost an illness).

This Congress is very important for Italy and I have seen all its preparation from the very beginning. There may be little problems but Gionata and all the others have made very big efforts. There are only a few days left, so let’s try to enjoy ourselves as much as possible, and, if you like you can all become Italy maniacs.
