While waiting to get back to full health and play tennis, the "Pianoforte in Ateneo" concert series returns this week with Pietro de Maria, a former winner of the Geza Anda competition (possibly the most demanding, if not sadistic, piano competition in the world, since it draws on a huge repertoire and the pianists only know last minute what they are expected to play). In line with the spirit of the Geza Anda competition, Pietro de Maria's recital will offer plenty of variety, as he plays works by Bach, Vacchi, the famous Sonata op. 25 n. 5 by Clementi, two Lieder by Schubert (transcribed by Liszt), mazurkas, ballade n.4 and scherzo n.2 by Chopin. Entrance is free ( registration at [https://www.eventbrite.it/e/biglietti-pietro-de-maria-il-pianoforte-in-ateneo-1982869000558](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/biglietti-pietro-de-maria-il-pianoforte-in-ateneo-1982869000558) is recommended, in order to allow Cattolica University to have an idea of how many people will attend, but not mandatory ) Meeting point: 20:30 at the university entrance or possibly 19:15 near Cadorna, for a pre-concert aperitivo.

Milan is older than it looks. On Saturday, 7 March, we walk again. Not to see the city, but to see what lies beneath it. Starting from Piazza del Duomo, this 2-hour narrated walk traces the hidden presence of Roman Milan. The exact route won’t be revealed in advance, because discovery works best when it unfolds step by step. This isn’t a tour. It’s not a lecture. It’s a shared exploration. Led by a scholar, the walk moves at a human pace, weaving stories, fragments, and forgotten layers into the present city. It’s for those who are curious, who enjoy slow conversations, and who want to experience Milan differently, beyond monuments and postcards. ✅ **Mandatory:** To join, you must **subscribe via the Google Form AND** **join the Telegram group**. Only participants who complete both will be admitted. The Roman Empire didn’t vanish. It settled into the foundations. And it’s still there. 📍 Start: Piazza del Duomo, in front of **McDonald’s,** Milan 🗓 Saturday, 7 March 🍹 Optional aperitivo 📋 **Register [here](https://forms.gle/H4UQPNNxqJdxNnug6)** 👉 **Join the [Telegram group](https://t.me/+MM8zx1Z06YEwZjhk)**

We will be doing homemade runes with clay. It can take a bit of processing. To let them dry and paint. But I hope every one enjoys them. ^^ ## Rune Making Class **Carve Meaning. Shape Intention. Create Something That Lasts.** Runes are more than symbols. They are an ancient alphabet rooted in early Germanic and Norse traditions, historically used for writing, protection, divination, and marking objects with intention. Each rune carries layered meaning. Strength. Protection. Prosperity. Movement. Transformation. In this Rune Making Class, you will create your own handcrafted rune set while learning what each symbol represents and how it has been used across history. ### What Runes Are Used For Runes have traditionally been used for: • Divination and guidance • Protection markings on tools, weapons, and homes • Meditation and self reflection • Setting intention and personal focus • Symbolic storytelling Whether you approach them from a historical, spiritual, or symbolic perspective, runes are tools for reflection and intention. *** ## Who This Is For This class is for: • Fantasy and history enthusiasts • Writers and world builders • Spiritual practitioners • Makers who enjoy hands on craft • Anyone drawn to ancient symbolism No prior experience is required. *** Runes were once carved into clay, wood, bone, and stone to carry intention into the world. Now you will make your own with clay. Seats are limited. Reserve your place and create something timeless.

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink. We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat!

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
