Italy Culture Month in BiH was opened on 3rd November in Sarajevo with exhibition of photographs “Images from the World” by Simone Tetti, born in 1982 in Rome, who died in February 2013 after severe illness, a very aggressive form of bone tumor.
As a ten-year-old boy, Tetti found out he was ill, and as a young man he started traveling the world and took pictures of the nature and cultures of many countries and people.
Those photographs are displayed at “Delikatesna radnja” in Sarajevo, where current Italian Ambassador to BiH Ruggero Corrias officially opened the Italy Culture Month in BiH.
“Life is not breathing, but doing” were Simone Tetti’s words, which the Ambassador repeated on this occasion.
Ambassador also announced other parts of the culture month, not only in Sarajevo, and especially concert by prestigious Trieste Theater Company with 100 musicians and four soloists, who will perform Rossini’s “Stabat Mater” at the National Theater in Sarajevo on November 10.
Italian Embassy in BiH organized this-evening’s event in cooperation with Association “Simone Tetti”, and it is organizing the entire event within activities of Italy’s chairing over the European Union.
Association Simone Tetti – Life is not breathing but doing, was established after Tetti’s death to support the research for cure of osteosarcoma, the illness young Tetti had.
Research is done in “Laboratorio di Anatomia Patologica” of semi-clinic “Umberto I” in Rome.
