Sunday, February 2, 2025, at the National Museum of Musical Instruments, during the conference-concert "The Secrets of the Ukulele – from Hawaii to Bach", with Maestro Giovanni Albini.

"...Maestro Giovanni Albini — who established the world's first university-level ukulele study program at the Conservatory of Alessandria — and luthier Francesco Verginelli, renowned even in Hawaii for his exquisite instruments, will explore the history of the instrument in a conference-concert that spans the vast ukulele repertoire and the most sophisticated construction details."

The article published in the English magazine "The Syncopator - Autumn 2024" (Ukulele Society of Great Britain).

It provides a summary of my work and, in particular, describes my presentation at Monopolele 2024.
