May 7th

Greetings from Ruda! Today the Glee Club departed Bologna for Ruda, arrived at our Ruda hotel (Hotel Rizzi), took a tour of and enjoyed free time in Verona, and experienced an exceptionally festive concert at the Santuario Madonna Del Perpetuo Soccorso in the community of Bussolengo. The group performed the concert with accompanying performances by the Coro Alfonsiano, directed by Luca Lizzani, and the Coro Montegaleto, directed by Julie Butturini. A reception followed the concert, and the group had the opportunity to participate in an exciting celebration of musical comeraderie.

A typical room at the Hotel Rizzi:
