Mayor of Assisi in Second Life: Artistic Garbage Bins

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:01:25 +0000

Today, Thursday the 21st of February, at 5pm italian time (CET), or as you prefer 9am PST, the Mayor of Assisi will come in Second Life for his second virtual meeting with his electors (after the first successful one), and curious people from around the world.
The place is Virtual Assisi.
The topic is ARTISTIC GARBAGE BINS.

In Real Life, in fact, the mayor, Engineer Claudio Ricci, is launching an initiative to decorate every garbage bin in Assisi with artistic paintings, like the one you can see above.
It’s a nice and warm way to “hide” the sad aspect of modern trash, and to revive a deteriorated exteriority of our cities.

Come visit the Mayor, he will answer to ANY question in Italian and English.
I’ll be with him (in Real Life), so be nice!

Great first time for the Mayor of Assisi!

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 12:01:07 +0000

As you know, yesterday, at 5pm italian time, the Mayor of Assisi, Claudio Ricci (avatar name: Claudioricci Republic), went “public”, for the first time, ready to listen an answer to his citizens, and to people from anywhere in the world.
The event has been a great success, with more than 30 avatars attending!

They spoke about the accessibility for handicapped people, about the “Mattonata” (a street with bricks that have names on them), about other initiatives in Second Life.
People were generally impressed by this move, which puts the mayor of Assisi closer to the people.

Next meeting: thursday, 22nd february, at 5pm italian time, in the island of Assisi.

Mayor of Assisi opens the doors in Second Life

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 07:57:09 +0000

Do you know Assisi? It’s a small roman/medieval town in middle Italy, right between Florence and Rome. Sat on a hill (“asisium” in latin means “sat down”), it was the home of Francesco Bernardone, who later in XIII century become Saint Francis of Assisi. They built a huge church and convent to celebrate him, the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi.
It’s my home town, and I love franciscan principles, even though I’m not a fervent catholic

The mayor of Assisi, Engineer Claudio Ricci, is a bright intellectual, with a taste and much knowledge on architecture, tourism and marketing.
Tomorrow (26th january), at the Conference “Point of views in Second Life” held at the Domus Pacis, near Assisi, the mayor will show his new initiative in Second Life: a very ostensible avatar, ClaudioRicci Republic, and a perfect reproduction of his office in Assisi, where he’ll listen to citizens and tourists twice a month.

The first meeting is thursday, february 7th, at 5pm italian time.

This is the first initiative of this kind (as far as I know), and I hope it will be a successful one!
