Maestro Nocera and President Napolitano
On Friday, 6 September the monastery of San Nicolò in Venice Lido was the object of much interest because of the private visit by Italian President Giorgio Napolitano to the exhibition "I libri d’acqua" of maestro Antonio Nocera which is being held at EIUC as part of the 55th International art exhibition-la Biennale di Venezia.
President Napolitano was welcomed by maestro Nocera and the Mayor of Venice, Giorgio Orsoni, as well as by EIUC President, Horst Fischer, and the curator of the exhibition, Laura Fusco.

Upon exiting the monastery of San Nicolò, journalists asked President Napolitano -as reported by the press office 'Arte Laguna'-"Did you like the exhibition?" he replied "Not only did I like the exhibition, but I liked the place and I appreciated the institution which in this venue works for human rights (EIUC)".
