Gornate Olona
The esteemed sports commentator presents – Saturday 20th (4pm) – the book “And the stars continue only to watch”, a dialogue with his nephew who died years ago in a tragic road accident
Appointment with the author, Saturday 20 April, in the spaces of the Municipal Library of Gornate Olona. The guest of the day will be Gabriele Voltolin who will speak to the audience about his book, “And the stars only continue to watch…”.
69 years old, esteemed sports commentator long-standing, Voltolin has entrusted the pages of the volume published by B&B Edizioni, a dialogue between himself and one of his nephews, who tragically passed away – still young – many years ago. His life was cut short by a car accident that occurred while the boy was tackling a nocturnal randonneeone of those rides that often take place in company, without competitive ambitions but for the pleasure of discovering the world on board a bicycle.
At that dramatic event the cover is also redonecreated like other illustrations by Voltolin’s grandchildren: a sign of family continuity which goes hand in hand with the delicate words inserted into the pages of the book.
The Gornate meeting – with the patronage of the Municipality and the support of the Pro Loco – will take place it starts at 4pm and is free to enter. A representative of the publishing house, which is based in Mozzate, will be present together with Voltolin.
«… You dear nephew, a young man full of life and dreams, were pedaling on your bicycle, perhaps immersed in your thoughts. The driver of the car, unfortunately, could not see the bicycle in the dark of the night. It was an accident, a tragic accident that took an angel from us too soon. And the stars… JUST continued to watch, silent and distant, as our world changed forever.”
