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!

Caro Alberto, caro Giuliano,

è passato un po’ di tempo dal nostro viaggio e le tante impressioni ed esperienze sono ancora parte della nostra vita quotidiana. La partecipazione al festival dei cori ha indubbiamente unito la nostra comunità corale e ci ha aiutato ad andare avanti. Cantare insieme ad altri cori provenienti da Francia, Islanda e Italia nei concerti è stato un grande privilegio e un piacere straordinario. Non solo conoscere le diverse culture canore, ma anche incontrare persone interessanti e vivere incontri emozionanti è stata un’esperienza molto speciale che non avremmo voluto perdere.

La vostra ospitalità è stata calda e accogliente come l’estate italiana – e noi abbiamo goduto di entrambe! Grazie di cuore per il vostro impegno personale, l’organizzazione perfetta e le giornate indimenticabili tra Verona e il Lago di Garda! E un grande grazie anche a Laura, che ci ha accudito e accompagnato in modo così affascinante e competente durante il festival! Grazie anche per la vostra sempre amorevole pazienza con le nostre numerose domande e richieste di modifica!

Come coro, abbiamo raccolto impressioni durature e fatto nuove amicizie, uniti nella musica e nel canto.

I migliori auguri per i futuri festival e i migliori saluti da Ettlingen.

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,
Andrea
