Ale Baccoli & Olimpia, Inspiring story

Life is the greatest gift in the created Universe. Being able to witness Gods grandeur in motion is a privilege I thank day in and day out in my daily prayer. Every now and then our Heavenly Father puts a special person along our path on life so that we may in a way see a reflection of who we are and what it really means to be one. This is the story of my friend, student, pupil, brother Ale. Ale is an MD surgeon in Northern Italy with a huge passion for the classical guitar and for Our Lord Jesus Christ. We also share a deep admiration for the great Paraguayan Composer Agustin Barrios Mangore. Barrios was actually the link that eventually grew in a warm exchange of correspondence between Ale and I. Weeks after our first encounter with a new and revived love and passion for the guitar Ale was building (YES, with his own 2 hands!!) this magnificent guitar he baptized "Olimpia" in honor of his Mother.  Today I share the first part of this truly inspiring story wishing Ale and his blessed family many years of love.
