A presto! Fossano, 3 months of Batarde Script and more.

I left Fossano, a piedmont city, that has given me hospitality to allow me to study the manuscripts, and also have an another good experience, I've been in other places before Italy, which I had good experience and I still have some friends, but what I've lived here during this three months and specially what I've learned has been wonderful.

To Give thanks to the city, I did this wonderful piece, saying thanks for all the hospitality that I've received during this time and also showing the batarde script that I've learned. Not only me, the city has been pleased with me, as they explain on the newspapers. http://www.targatocn.it/2012/12/06/sommario/fossanese/leggi-notizia/argomenti/eventi/articolo/carles-gonzalez-lartista-spagnolo-che-ha-contagiato-la-citta-con-la-calligrafia-lascia-fossa.html

Also during this time I taught some calligraphy and with Luca Bedino we have wrote a book about the lettre batarde, called "conversations about the lettre batarde" which I will talk about the book on my next post.

And now, home sweet home, looking forward for new adventures that will feed my experience throught the calligraphy, "cleaning" the studio to get ready to explore and improve my calligraphy.

Have a good week!

HASTA LA VISTA FOSSANO!
