Dear friends,

here we are for the fourth time, also this year, to meet all together in these 3 days of November, and I'm glad to have you here, especially because we'l1 celebrate together the reopening of the "Teatro La Fenice" after 7 years of troubles from that tragic stake.

The adventure of the competition goes on and, with your presence, the Campiello Marinoni restores to life and with the revival of the theatre, also our restaurant "Taverna la Fenice" will return to live again under the management of Mister Lucio Zanon (who has been, for more than 20 years, one of the most important collaborators of Arrigo Cipriani at the Harry's Bar) and his gentle wife.

We are going to spend with them our last evening and I hope this will represent a happy reprise after all the troubles we had during the reconstruction of the theatre.

Venice is a wonderful city, an ideal place for these cultural events and can give the artists an opportunity of meeting and staying together; our manifestation has been proving it for 4 years and this is the reason to improve it always more.

I thank all the Artists that have accepted this invitation and I hope to have them again as guests of the Hotel, where they will feel like in their home.

Many thanks to my good friend Giacomo who gave me the opportunity to introduce me to all of you and many thanks to Fenice S.p.A. that with E.D.P. group gave us the possibility to improve and grow the quality of this manifestation that by now is known even abroad.
