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.
