With all that has taken place these past few years it is great to get things back into somewhat normality. We just completed the IBSC course and now the Director will relax before starting a new venture while maintaining his work as the Director and Professor. We at IBA Italia are truly very grateful to have such an experienced, skillfull and brilliant Instructor here in Italy, who is admired far and wide across the globe! So Professor Cav. Massimiliano Fiorentini thank you for all the support and instruction you have given to us, your staff and students who still call you for advice and chats! We look forward to seeing what you have in store for us 2023! But for now thats a wrap for 2022.
