Dear Alberto! I would like to thank you for your cooperation during the International Choral Festival Verona Garda Estate 2025 and during our entire stay in Italy.
The organization of the festival was at a very high level. We liked concerts in beautiful historic churches.
Your presence – Alberto and your dad, and your help at every step made our stay in Italy a great pleasure, a pleasant experience and an extraordinary experience for us.
Thank you for your professionalism, high personal culture, courtesy, kindness, help, cordiality, hospitality and a warm welcome.
We really appreciate everything you have done to make the festival a stress-free and enjoyable experience for us, and we will remember the time spent with you for a very long time. We hope to see you again in the future.
Alberto, you did a great job ❤️

Hi Alberto and Giuliano,
We are home after our tour and I wanted to thank you once again for a fantastic festival. We loved everything about it – the hotel, food, venues, sight seeing, people and concerts. But mostly we loved your incredible service and the special experiences we had in your community. The closing night experience was amazing and it was a privilege to be there. Alberto, you were fantastic and went above and beyond the call of duty to look after us. Our kids absolutely adored you, as I’m sure you noticed, and we felt cared for and looked after every minute of the festival.
We also very much appreciate the attention to detail in your planning which makes our job so much easier.
It will be a good few years before we are able to get back to the Verona Garda International Choral Festival, but you will stay in our hearts and we hope to see the Rinaldi family in Australia some time – remember you have many friends here!

Lieber Alberto, lieber Giuliano,
unsere Reise ist nun schon wieder ein Weilchen her, und noch immer begleiten die vielen Eindrücke und Erlebnisse unseren Alltag. Die Teilnahme am Chorfestival hat unsere Chorgemeinschaft zweifellos zusammen- und vorangebracht. Zusammen mit anderen Chören aus Frankreich, Island und Italien in den Konzerten zu singen, war ein großes Privileg und eine außerordentliche Freude. Nicht nur die unterschiedlichen Liedkulturen kennenzulernen, sondern auch interessante Menschen zu treffen und spannende Begegnungen zu erfahren, war ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis, das wir nicht mehr missen möchten.
Eure Gastfreundschaft war dabei so warm und herzlich wie der italienische Sommer – und wir haben beides sehr ausgiebig genossen! Habt vielen Dank für Euren ganz persönlichen Einsatz, die perfekte Organisation und unvergessliche Tage zwischen Verona und dem Gardasee! Und ein großes Dankeschön auch an Laura, die uns während des Festivals so charmant und kenntnisreich betreut und begleitet hat! Herzlichen Dank auch für Eure stets liebevolle Geduld mit unseren vielen Fragen und Änderungswünschen!
Wir haben als Chor bleibende Eindrücke gesammelt und neue Freundschaften angebahnt, in Musik vereint und im Singen zusammengefunden.
Alles Gute für die weiteren Festivals und herzliche Grüße aus Ettlingen
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Dear Alberto,
Thank you for your hospitality. All of you were great hosts and made as feel so well during our stay.
Places we visited and churches where we performed are beautifull. As the Festival participants we were privileged to see a lot of things and take a part in happenings that we couldn’t do as tourists.
Festival concept of singing together with other choirs from all over the world makes a precious expirience and gives the great memories.
Food and wines are special experience. We loved all the served local specialties. We are very happy that we gave our contribution to a humanitarian purpose of the Festival.
We’ll keep in touch. You have my whatsapp and viber contacts. You can also send mail to my adress.
Once more thank you for all.
I wish you all the best!

Bonjour Giuliano,
merci pour ton message que je reçois maintenant.
Ma tête et mon cœur sont encore en Italie, avec toi qui nous as reçus royalement.
J’ai vraiment été très touchée par ta présence attentive à notre choeur, ta cordialité enthousiaste et ta magnifique compétence pour organiser de si belles rencontres musicales.
Avec les chanteurs je suis revenue enchantée et je garde en moi tous ces souvenirs heureux et émouvants.
Merci encore pour ce que tu as été pour nous. Ton sourire nous accompagne et la musique nous unit. Je t’embrasse avec amitié.

Caro Alberto,
grazie dell’opportunità che ci avete dato, per noi era un debutto in una rassegna corale ed è stata una giornata decisamente emozionante. Sono contento che il nostro programma vi sia piaciuto e spero che siamo riusciti a trasmettere al pubblico un po’ della nostra emozione e della nostra gioia.
Grazie,
