Mr.Carlo Laghi relates the 7th Suiseki Exhibition-Parade at Cusercoli Castle

News-En-2010-3

7th and 14th November 2010

7^th Suiseki Exhibition-Parade “ Castle of Cusercoli”

Castle of Cusercoli - (Forlì - Cesena)

Report of Mr.Carlo Laghi

On Sunday 7th and Sunday 14th November has taken place in the circle of the "Prezious White Truffle Feast of Romagna" the Suiseki Exhibition "Castle of Cusercoli", arrived this year to the 7th edition.

In the fittings of the two halls put at disposal by the Proloco (Municipal Tourist Board) the "Hercules Lock", the philosophy already experienced last year has been followed to let know, the citizen of Cusercoli and other visitors, besides the stones also the work of Bonsai & Suiseki of Forlì Club's members.

Namely we have tried to present stones that during this year have been awarded in the various national and foreign exhibitions, to present possibly always new stones of the various categories never exhibited and to present various displays with scrolls following as example the passing of the seasons.

The venues of the exhibition : the outside, the staging and the public:

“ Pietre e parole

dolce è il ricordo

a Cusercoli “

This year novelty is the Haiku poetry : thanks to the poetical inspiration of the member Mr. Alberto Barduzzi , it has been possible to link together different compositions to the stones.

Personally I must say that this procedure has fully satisfied me and the others both as participations and as interest of the participating public.

Let's now come to the pure exhibition of the stones. The 23 stones, justly distributed in the various categories, have been examined by our dearest friend, as well as board member Mr. Ulisse Maccaferri, A.I.A.S. Treasurer.

Ulisse has choosen as best stones :

"The time... sun, water and wind" of Mr. Ettore Gardini (already winner of the U.B.I. Award 2010 in San Marino and of the B.C.I. Award at the E.S.A. exhibition 2010 in Zurich);

"Go away mighty godfather" by Mr. Alberto Barduzzi (it is also the choosen stone as preferred by the public on Sunday 7th;

"I already feel home air" , multi stand of Mr. Claudio Villa;

"The earth of the ancestors" landscape of Mr. Primangelo Pondini;

"On the way back" multi stand presented by Mr. Carlo Laghi and for its colours

"Autumn sun" landscape of Mr. Alberto Barduzzi.

The day, as usually, has elapsed "with the legs under the table".On greeting you , I renew the invitation for the next year.

News-En-2010-3

Report by Mr. Carlo Laghi

We have gathered in 13 from Romagna, Tuscany, Liguria and Lombardia at the A.I.A.S. venue in Castelfranco Emilia on Sunday October 17th : a light rain has gone along with us all day long. As arrived we have unloaded boxes with stones to preview, ready for display and completed with daiza, as well as a fair quantity of pattern stones, as pillow basalt, reddish sandstones and other tipology put at disposal of participants by Mrs. Luciana Queirolo.

A.I.A.S. members attending have not missed the opportunity to propose stones for which a collective evaluation could resolve doubts or incertaineties : in the left photo Mrs. Luciana Queirolo studies a stone of Mr. Barduzzi.

The meeting was programmed with the agenda : affinities of tipologies, materials and colors between Italian and Oriental ones (Chinese and Japanese).

Luciana had prepared a computer introduction to put in comparison the various stones and comment the various affinities and likeness.

An example for all : two stones , owned by Luciana Queirolo, showed in a recent I.B.S. Congress :

The stone at left is Chinese , while the one at right side is a local "palombino" : if the labels had not indicated the place of origin, the diversity could not be recognized .

Conclusion : the earth is round and nothing forbids that a similar material may be found in Italy , in Far East or in America.

To the meeting the convivial moment at restaurant could not miss. While waiting between one course and following one we have discussed also of next A.I.A.S. Congress which, much probably, will take place in Florence at the end of September and beginning of October with a foreign judge (indiscretion to be confirmed) hoisted by our tuscanian members and of the ATABS Association .

We greeted each other not before giving appointment in Gonzaga at middle march 2011.
