There were a lot of activities going on in my life; always. Acting was one of them. In the late 1970s, I acted for a group called “Teatro dei Nove” (the theater of the nine), which operated out of Teatro Olmetto in Milan, Italy. We also went on the road, but not so much since everyone had other activities, such as work or Medical School, which at the time I attended. I never held on to the documentation regarding those activities, some the few remaining vestiges of that life are the one you can see here…

I also had my own shows at the Circolo Ambrosiano Meneghin e Cecca in Milan.

And last, but not least, in Milan I was part of a historical recreation group, “Il gruppo storico Citta` di Milano”, for which I paraded through the city center on certain holidays dressed in original costumes from the 1500s. Lots of fun…
And who said we didn’t have fun with the historical recreation? I brought the whole family in… Here are (front) from the left: Silvana Mita (my sister-in-law), Marco Cameran (my nephew), my wife Nicoletta, and me. In the back, my friends Cinzia Mele and Franco Garutti (now married to each other).

Then again, I was also a Social Director at Villaggio Italia, in the Catskills Mountains for a few years, mostly in the summers…
