SeiOttavi as protagonists of a book for children in Abruzzo

SeiOttavi are involved in an initiative in which they play for the first time an entirely new role: they are the protagonists of the book "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 as protagonists of the frame story that connects fourteen tales on the subject of music and musical instruments. The stories contained in the book were written by children and young people to help other children and adolescents. 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 wrote with some children 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 holdings of 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).
