Meeting with Elizabeth Chatwin in Castelnuovo Magra

An event not to be missed: on Tuesday, September 5, at 6 p.m. Elizabeth Chatwin, widow of writer, photographer and traveler Bruce Chatwin, will meet the public under the Tower of the Castle of the Bishops of Luni in Castelnuovo Magra, in the beautiful Querciola Square.

On the occasion of the first black-and-white photo exhibition"Bruce Chatwin, the Journey Continues" hosted until October 8, 2017 in the Tower of the Castle of the Bishops of Luni, Elizabeth Chatwin returns after seven years to Italy to tell about her husband’s great passion for travel.

Elizabeth recalls, “Bruce was always excited about going away, leaving even for a weekend was enough to put him in a good mood. [...] It was 1961 when I met him at Sotheby’s-she worked as secretary to Peter Wilson, president of the famous auction gallery-we often went to the Black Hill near Hay-on-Wye, to ride along the hills on Welsh ponies.”
Chatwin always said the best moments of their married life had been spent traveling: together they had been to various parts of Europe, in Paris he asked her to marry him, they also went to Pakistan, Nepal, India, Persia, China, Tunisia, the Himalayas.

Participating in the meeting will be:

Francesco d’Ayala, journalist and writer. RAI special correspondent, he covers hot topics such as wars, terrorism, immigration and culture, art, archaeology.

Luciana Damiano, creator of the Chatwin Prize-“walking the world”-founding member of the Chatwin Association
