LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
........................................
Summer depicts an array of colours when nature reaches maturity It is a time for relaxation, followed by autumn as a time for reflection. Our source of inspiration for this issue is the figure
of the pilgrim along country lanes and in town, which coincides with the Ex- traordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy and finding out why people still like to go on a pilgrimage, whether it be spiritual or just to find time for oneself. Rome is the focus point
We hope the reader will enjoy this jour- ney through living Italy past and pres- ent, taking time to pause, perceive, absorb and enjoy what we see around us It is a way of living and a philoso- phy of life in a country where human dimension still prevails
