It was, however, especially the meeting of three ways of being and thinking among the participants Italians , Hungarians and Romanians to which the difficulties of a different language (we had Viktoria, talented and likeable performer who assisted beautifully) are not been an insurmountable obstacle. At the end we were just one group and not rhetoric , one heart... The miracle of music and singing is regularly repeated, we felt one big family. Do not believe it, but when we got on the bus to return home we found ourselves in front of a human barrier in the middle of the road, with tears in her eyes, trying to hold back a little more kindly in their midst!...
