So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Last week my good friend Levente Nagy passed away in Lugano, Switzerland. I met him in the 80s in Transilvania, Romania, when he picked up a Swiss hitchhiker on a shoestring in his Dacia car. He invited me to stay at his apartment for a few days. This was an incredible risk for Levente during the rule of Ceauşescu, which I only realized later on. He took me along to meetups with his intellectual friends, where we had deep conversations about arts, totalitarian regimes, and more. Almost all in his friend circle escaped to the West because arts and education was suppressed. As a professor at the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Cluj he was recruited to work as a spy in the West. He defected, and asked for asylum in Switzerland. We kept touch when he lived in Switzerland, and later on in Italy and Hungary. We wen to to visit him in Italy in 2017, where he showed us around in Lombardia. I took this portrait of Levente when we went to see Chiostro della Chiesa di S. Michele a Voltorre, a monastery turned museum near Varese. In the past he helped organize art exhibitions at that museum. He had a colorful life, traveling all over Europe to assess the authenticity of old paintings. I'll miss you Levente!

Today's chores included going through boxes of print photographs, some from eons ago. In June 1973 I flew to #Milan & we drove to #Varese in the North. This is #LagoDiGhirla not the greatest shot but it is 52 years old 😉 & worth a punt at #Stunday #travelphotography #EastCoastKin #WeAreRoamers

Medieval charm and a stunning view of the rooftops of Varese

It was very hot when we went to visit the city of Varese in Italy in summer of 2017. To escape the heat we drove up to Sacro Monte di Varese, a medieval village on top of a hill. In the center is the Sanctuary, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The houses are built very close together. Our Transylvanian friend previously organized an exhibition up there, so we got a private tour of the museum, which was closed at that time. This is the view from one of the museum windows over the town.

Found a leaflet for the Philips Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World Fair. Edgard Varese composed the piece 'Poème Ēlectronique' which was played inside as an audio visual presentation using 4 projectors and 425 speakers. Pictured with one of my Varese LPs (on the Philips label from 1961) #Varese
