May 19 night of museums, Genoa, Panic Box chorus at Villa Croce. Rehearsals and recording went perfectly, then the Italian authorities decided to call off the open-museums night on a national scale due to terrorist bombing in Brindisi that same day. To make matters even stranger, stores and other facilities stayed open for the night anyway, and the last remaining revelers were surprised at 4.00 in the morning by an earthquake which could be felt very vividly in Milan as well. Long day.
