Una Storia anche Italiana a Cuba
Ricevo e pubblico lo scambio di messaggi tra l'Architetto Marco Marini, promotore e organizzatore della mostra esibita la scorsa estate a Trastevere e l'Historiador de la Ciudad de La Habana, Dottor Eusebio Leal Spengler.
E' con grande piacere che segnalo questa notizia appena ricevuta, ringraziando sinceramente tutti coloro che hanno creduto in questa iniziativa.
In particolare voglio salutare con affetto i tanti amici e collaboratori che, con il loro disinteressato e significativo apporto di lavoro, hanno contribuito al successo della Mostra.
I nostri nomi rimarranno legati per molto tempo a venire nella sede della "Società Dante Alighieri" dell'Havana.
Grazie.
Un cordialissimo saluto, Marco Marini
Egregio Arquitecto y Amigo:
He recibido su generosa disposición de donar a la Sociedad Dante
Alighieri la bellísima "Cuba, una Historia también Italiana" que con
mucho gusto acepto y que será muestra permanente en la sede de nuestra
querida Institución.
Reiterándole mi más sincero reconocimiento, le abraza,
Eusebio Leal Spengler
Estimado Dr. Eusebio Leal Spengler
deseo agradecerles sinceramente, en lo personal y como vice presidente IXCO, por el gran honor que ha tenido la amabilidad de retener para nuestra exposición "Cuba, unaHistoria también Italiana" ospitandola en el Centro Cultural Hispano Americano y por sus comentarios tan favorables.
La exposición ha traído un considerable interés al punto que algunos responsables de instituciones culturales pidieron presentare en otras ciudades como Holguín y Santiago. Desde nuestro punto de vista sería una maravillosa iniciativa, facil por elmodo sencillo de transporte y montaje.
Este especial y cordial bienvenida ha motivado a nuestro Instituto a ofrecer ladonación de la exposición a la SociedadDante Alighieri de Cuba, por lo que puede permanecer a su disposición en el lugar quenos parece más "natural" por el contenido y los sentimientos que queríamos declarar.
Esperando sinceramente que esta nuestra propuesta pueda ser aceptada por Usted,estamos en la espera de sus decisiones con respecto a la donación y de cualquier indicación de cuándo y cómo Usted se siente más apropiado para hacerla.
Con sincero respeto y amistad, Marco Marini

Scienza e medio ambiente
Anche a Cuba c'è una Fondazione ambientalista ed è intitolata al maggior esploratore, geologo, speleologo, paleontologo e antropologo del Paese: il Capitano Antonio Núñez Jiménez di cui ricorre il 90° della nascita e il 15° della scomparsa. La Fondazione ha sede in quella che fu la casa di Núñez Jiménez e racchiude interessanti e preziosi reperti provenienti da tutto il mondo ed è gestita dal Vice Presidente Ángel Graña González che è stato compagno e braccio destro del Capitano per molti anni e altrettante avventure. Il reperto "maggiore", almeno per le dimensioni, è una delle 5 canoe che parteciparono, a metà degli anni '80, alla spedizione dall'Orinoco alle Antille, sulle orme di una delle tribù degli antichi nativi americani del continente: gli Arawak, che arrivarono a popolare le isole dell'America centrale navigando con delle semplici canoe ricavate da tronchi d'albero.
Una visita a questa fondazione, frequentata da studiosi e scienziati di tutto il mondo, è senz'altro una meta interessante per chi vuole fare un turismo "diverso" e Graña è disponibile a far visitare a chi lo desiderasse località che sono completamente al di fuori del turismo tradizionale e per cui bisogna, però, avere spirito di avventura e sopportazione di disagi.

Conferenza sull'uragano Sandy
Ricevo dall'amico metereologo Luca Lombroso il seguente annuncio così come il precedente avviso della conferenza sull'energia eolica e il concerto di Zucchero su RAI 2
Cuba to hold conference on hurricane Sandy, climate change: Xinhua j.mp/YfXLJz *finally North American leadership
http://www.philstar.com/breaking-news/2012/11/25/873357/cuba-hold-intl-conference-hurricane-sandy-climate-change
HAVANA (Xinhua) - Cuba will host an international conference next May to discuss the effects of hurricane Sandy and issues related to climate change, the official news agency Prensa Latina said on Saturday.
The Sixth International Conference on the Comprehensive Management of Coastal Areas will be held next May in the eastern city of Santiago de Cuba, which was most devastated by Sandy late last month, said the report, quoting Dr. Ofelia Perez, director of the Center for Multidisciplinary Studies on Coastal Areas (Cemzoc) of the University of Oriente.
The conference will be "a bright opportunity to study the complex circumstances associated to the course of the devastating cyclone in the region," said Perez.
He added that the main issue to be discussed during the meeting will be the integration for the sustainability of coastal ecosystems against climate change.
Perez said that experts from Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, Colombia, Uruguay, Spain, France and Brazil have expressed their interest in attending the conference, which will also cover social, health and environment studies linked to global warming.
Hurricane Sandy, which was considered "historic" by the local meteorologists, hit eastern Cuba on Oct. 25, devastating the city of Santiago de Cuba and leaving 11 people dead.
Over 130,000 houses collapsed in the hurricane disaster, which also caused economic losses of more than 100 million U.S. dollars for the island nation.
