The third edition of the Autumn Bonsai and Suiseki Exhibition "City of Boys"

 
Rome 9th and 10th October 2010 III Autumn Exhibition
"City of Boys"
(report of Mrs. Daniela Schifano)
  
The Cultural Association Rome Bonsai  has once again reunited around itself  bonsai and suiseki enthusiasts  of all Italy , organizing at the "City of Boys"  an event  growing year by year  both as number and as quality of the exhibited exemplars. The enthusiasts could  admire 42 bonsai  of very high quality, exhibited  in two halls  as always  elegantly  furnished, while for the suiseki  a separated  hall  has been prepared, where well 14 suiseki, of which 2 out of contest,  have taken  place.  Remembering  that last year  suiseki in display  were five, one cannot  but  note the steady growing interest  of the organizing club  in comparison of this art.
The salient aspect  of this event  remains however  the warm  hospitality  offered by all Club's  staff, thanks  to which exhibitors  are received and dealt with as family friends. 
But the hearty  atmosphere  one can breathe  is not  in disadvantage  of professionalism  :  we remember  the rich little market, the workshops of bonsai techniques, the puntual organization and the "dedicated" photographer  who will put  at disposal  of interested people a CD  of very high quality on the event. 

Suiseki out of contest  have been presented  by Mr. Fabrizio Buccini  judge  of the suiseki  section , and by Mr. Enrico Sallusti, President  of the organizing Club.
