Thanks for sharing.  I don't know why, but Italians look cool doing anything.  I really liked the Amiga retrogame area.  Took me back to my Commodore 64 days.

Italians love cool. Unfortunately, our people seem sometimes forgetting the importance of substance too  :wink:

I love the layout of the convention area. It looks much more open (space) than the dealer areas at (like) Gencon, which use a lot of pipe-and-drape to seperate booths.

The only thing missing is Caterina Murino   :wink:

Well, the convention site had a lot of space and precious few exhibitors. But one of the convention spinners said in an Italian mailing list that 'visitor numbers are not important'  8O and that the self publishing area was the heart of the convention (not that hard having involved so few companies...  :? ). Oh, well...

Who is Caterina???  :roll:
