“The meetings with Sabina Airoldi always create a magical atmosphere of secrets and mysteries combined with in-depth scientific analyses – comments our member and moderator Giani Manuguerra – how the cetaceans Sperm Whales and Cuvier’s Beaked Whales can descend into the depths of the sea, resist and hunt for over two hours, see in the darkness of the depths and come back to the surface unharmed, was told through images, films, original sounds or splendidly imitated by Sabina, involving all the participants”.

 

In the second part of the evening, the writer Paola Forneris presented the reprint of her fable, “La Conchiglia dell’Isola delle Corrente”, magically illustrated by the painter Marisa Fogliarini, Edizioni Antea di Angelo Giudici di Taggia, with in-depth information sheets on the illustrated marine animals edited by Gianni Manuguerra.
