ROOTless  '97
Friday 10th - Sunday 12th October 1997


"The  ignorant  are  tied  to  their  native  land, the  mediocre  consider
themselves  citizens  of  the  world, but  only  the  wise  realise  that
they  are  a  stranger  everywhere."
(Motto  of 'Lo  Straniero' journal.)
..............................
