Beautiful beautiful beautiful recap @ErmesT .!!!

I liked so much the important words “the beauty of being friends”, definitely so appropriate to describe this unforgettable meet-up. It was my first Italian meetup and I could not expect more fun: amazing organization and extraordinary friends that contributed to create a fantastic meet-up. Thank you again!

Dispiace anche a me @Playsky2001 , dato che ho scoperto il castello di Zumelle grazie ai tuoi racconti :slightly_smiling_face:

Ci sarà sicuramente un’altra occasione.

Buon Natale

Thank you so much @Ant_Bad_Yogi

The puzzled face of @uavalentine was the perfect representation of the situation. I kind of OMG!!

Every time we moved, the rain was becoming heavier and heavier, so we had that coloured umbrellas following us everywhere, filling the space of most of our photos. Funny, in a meet-up focused on wine, to have so much water all around.

And, like Valentine, also the other guests had to decide to smile.

The rain ended on Sunday evening, and Monday morning started with a beautiful sun, giving to @Stella2 a nice week on the area. I am sure she will write a lot about her week. How many places did you visited, Stella?

Thanks you @Austinelewex

According to @LuigiZ the best Italian pizza is made in Naples. In my opinion the Italian pizza is the best too

Hahaha of course @Austinelewex , thank you!.

@ErmesT you know that in Naples pizza is a pillar of the food tradition and that’s why we are so jealous about that … however logically Neapolitan is also Italian so the best pizza is Italian too :-).

Btw did you know already the Neapolitan pizza and its Neapolitan making art became also part of the UNESCO heritage since 2017?

Italy will not move away, @Denise_Barlock , and I will be happy to meet you whenever you want.

We will arrange a meet-up just for you. You have a lot of friends here in Italy, after Connect Live, isn’t it.

Merry Christmas from the North of Italy, with a big hug

It was beautiful to have you in Treviso, @JaneBurunina . I want also to congratulate you for your new rainbow badge.

You know, we joke about that, but statistically mor than 10% of the actual Connect Moderators visited my city before to become Moderators.

Honestly a meet-up in the rain, in winter time, is not so enjoyable, @moshtak786

Btw, the Local Guides group had the sun inside them.

This means a lot, to transform the day in a wonderful experience

Yessss @AlejandraMaria , we have organized a visit in Lucca on Saturday the 21st of March, meetups are here: morning and afternoon. If you are able to join would be a huge pleasure ;-).

There is easy connection with many cities in Spain to Pisa airport, at 15mins from Lucca.

After that we have planned already also a meetup in June, on Friday the 26th in Norcia to @manulele81 … and there are rumors about the Euro meetup somewhere around beginning of May ;-).

Hi @ErmesT

It’s really a great fun during the meetups. That too during the rain. Might be some may find uncomfortable. From your pictures I can feel the amount of enjoyment you had. Yummy :pizza: and :wine_glass: .

Friendship is the best thing and really it’s very hard to say goodbye.

Thanks for your wonderful write up.

I have also posted my experiences during meetups. I have tagged you the. You can have a look at the food we relished.

Happy New Year 2020.

Wuauuu @LuigiZ , @manulele81 and you have created the meet-up! Amazing.

I will read them with attention in the next days and I will do my best to try to join one of them.

There are rumours about the European meet-up yes, but if it is in the dates I have listened… I think it would not be able for me to go :disappointed: a pity…

A big big hug from the SOuth of Spain and Happy New Year!!!
