Last month I went to the Italian instituto of Culture in L.A. and listened to
a talk on Venice, Italy arquitecture. While there I met this other Italian architect. We became friends and he is now going to give a talk at my school. The talk will be in Italian and English.

Talk on Italian architecture Dec. 17th at Erwin adult school in La Puente, California


Gian(John)Rinaldi Modern day Michaelangelo

Italian Florentine architect Gian Rinaldi is on a mission to bring California architeture the respect in
Europe that California wines now have. He compares the two. If you remember back in 1976 a famous
Europen connoisseur of wines challenged the Americans to a blind tasting of wines to see which wines
were the best. What they found out was that California wines can compare with any in Europe. Now
Gian(John) Rinaldi wants to do the samething with California/US architecture to show the Europeans
that we also have fine architecture. Besides being an architect Gian is also somewhat know as a
modern day Michaelangelo. So if you missed the real Michaelangelo don't miss Gian Rinaldi's talk
on California architecture compared to European achitecture.

Sounds interesting. How would I be able to see it?
