CITY/REGION: rapallo (liguria), italy
MEETUP PLACE: rapallo railway station, main entry
DATE: 9th april 2022
TIME: 10-17
MEETUP PLAN: we will meet at the main entry of rapallo railway station at 10-10,30 (it depends on the trains) and then laura @lallpall will take us for a walk to discover her city that hosted the treaty of rapallo in 1922
greenpass is necessary for the restaurant nota bene in corso italia, 31 where we will have lunch and sign tons of postcards
maybe the tour will go on in the afternoon if there’s some time left after signing the postcards and before taking our trains back
@lallpall and @Iside82 created the meetup postcard celebrating the 100th anniversary of this treaty
we are ready to swap just ask if you cannot join us in rapallo
italy can send again to russia
Can Italy send to Cyprus? I would be interested to know more about Rapallo so yes I am interested for your meet up card. If you can use any 2022 stamp like Beppe Fenoglio or Tina Modotti I will be very grateful.
Hola! Greetings from Spain! Unfortunately we will not be able to participate in the event, but we would love to have direct swap with you. How can we do it?
Molto grazie, danke sehr, thank you a lot, @stefbot75 and all who signed the card that came to me yesterday.
Hope you had a good time, spero that I can join one of the IT meetings un giorno futuro.
Of course you’re invited to Innsbruck meetings (and the other AT ones) too all the time.
PS1: hope you don’t see my very basic Italian with my mistakes not as an insult, but as admiration.
PS2: around the anniversary, I’ve read an article about the treaty. There are some historians who draw a strong line between the treaty and the following pacts that brought so much pain over central Europe in the 1930s/1940s, with some effects til even now. On the other side, with treaties countries try to find a way to a better future, so of course they are necessary. Still, sometimes it’s worth to hear what the uninvolved parties/countries think about it.
PS3: sorry for the long ps2, but as we can read every day these times, history is political.
