SeiOttavi star as the leading characters in a book for children in Abruzzo

SeiOttavi are involved in an initiative which sees them take on a new role as leading characters in a book called "Un arcobaleno di note" (A Rainbow of Notes). The book by Giovanna Tonelli, with Paola Fontanari's drawings and a foreword by Franz Cioccio (Aereostella - Milan, 2011) presents SeiOttavi and their CD InOnda in a story that connects fourteen tales about music and musical instruments. The stories were written by children and young people to help other children and teenagers. The proceeds will be handed over to the association "Insieme per l'Abruzzo", who will use it to rebuild school facilities in the earthquake zone.
Last year, for the first anniversary of the earthquake in L'Aquila, Giovanna Tonelli and a group of children, wrote the booklet "Carezze per il cuore" (Caresses for the Heart). It was written and published to give thanks to those scholars who donated their own books for the destroyed library within the University of Abruzzo. The same children who participated in this first volume, have also taken part in this new initiative. "Un arcobaleno di note" was published at the end of October and is now available in all Italian bookshops and online stores (including: Aerostella).
