Piero52 Posted July 4, 2022 #1 Posted July 4, 2022 Hello everyone, I'm Piero Bastianelli born in Rome but moved to Canton Ticino - Switzerland - 7 years ago ... for love! Even at the age of 70 you can meet a soul mate, right? I started this wonderful hobby at the age of 13 when I decided to build Christopher Columbus's St. Maria, for the final tests of the secondary school, starting from construction plans. Today I meet your forum for my interest in the Santissima Trinidad Cross Section kit from OcCre, and I saw some build logs already done in this forum!! Soon! Piero druxey, Dave_E, ccoyle and 3 others 6
allanyed Posted July 4, 2022 #2 Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Ciao Piero, WELCOME TO MSW!! I had the good fortune to visit the Canton of Ticino about 20 years ago and drink their local grappa and taste young horse meat. I do not remember the name of the specific town, but my client's family, Camponovo was from there and gave us a very warm welcome. You live in a beautiful part of the Europe!
