00:30I'm working for this.

00:31Hello.

00:31Are you working?

00:32Yes.

00:33You have a good sync on with Donatello.

00:35We did.

00:36We did.

00:36I'm happy to meet you.

00:38Yes.

00:38It's a great thrill.

00:40It's a pleasure to meet you.

00:41And if you don't actually get together, I'm the director.

00:43You can meet you.

00:44Oh, it's not right.

00:46Do you often meet?

00:48Absolutely.

00:48It's not true that we're complete.

00:50Yeah.

00:50No, I'm sure.

00:51Never.

00:52Never any competition between all of them.

00:56And it's important because it's close to me.

00:58How exciting.

01:00And when does it take place?

01:01It just took place last week.

01:03Oh, just last week?

01:04Yes, last week.

01:04Yeah.

01:05I just want to talk to you.

01:06I didn't mean to talk to you.

01:08Anyway, it's lovely to meet you.

01:10Anyway, be thankful for all the publishers.

01:13It's a delight to enjoy a special edition of Teca Holden,

01:18a special project of the Bibliotheca Clasense in Ravenna.

01:24It's a delight to enjoy a special edition of Teca Holden,

01:29a special edition of Teca Holden, a special project of the Bibliotheca Clasense in Ravenna, for children aged between 11 and 18.

01:51And I want to thank everybody for the most wonderful readings and broad talk on Byron.

01:58I must say, I never thought I'd hear a Byron poem read in Italian.

02:05I have to admit, I didn't understand very much of it, but it sounded absolutely beautiful.

02:10So, thank you all, thank you all from the Byron Society for making it all possible today.

02:17I'm glad to see Cantor.

02:18It's after this Cantor, who's marriage broke out.

02:22And then you can see more of it.

02:24It was here.

02:26It was.

02:27Yeah, which were published, as I said, in 1812, recounting those early travels between 1811.

02:33And then subsequently, he wrote a third canto about his travels after he left England until 1816.

02:40And then a fourth canto, which is set entirely in Italy.

02:43But this, as I say, is the book, the creative legend of a man who was magnified in the Beatles.

02:51So, we'll have to move a quick here.

02:54So, this is dedicated to their encounter in Venice in the Palais.

02:59So, it's dedicated more to Byron and Cerveza here in this city.
