On Thursday 9 November, the Charity Gala Dinner was held in Rome, the exclusive gala dinner at the beautiful Villa Miani, organised to raise funds for Smile’s projects
In a movie atmosphere, amid glittering sequin dresses, one could meet well-known personalities from show business and the Roman dolce vita; among the best known were Fabio Canino, Italian TV personality and presenter who was the evening’s presenter and entertainer, actresses Antonia Liskova and Roberta Mastromichele, and Alessandra Canale, RAI TV announcer and presenter. Also present were actors Paolo Bernadini, Gilles Roccaand Mario Ermito, model Simone Bonaccorsi and former Italian volleyball player Veronica Angeloni. Also, DJ Sonia Rondini and comedian Salvatore Marino. Among the guests was also the ambassador of Asmara Fessahazion Pietrus Menghistu. A strong reference to Eritrea could not be missing with the zighinì on the menu during dinner and the typical Eritrean coffee served by women strictly in traditional dress. And then lots of music until late into the night! Fundamental was the contribution of the many participants and all those who took part in the raffle held during the evening, thanks to which we raised valuable funds. The proceeds of the evening will be used to continue the projects to support the children’s institutes and training facilities that Smile Project runs in Eritrea.
