Dear AIMC members and friends,
The 4th edition of the RavennaMosaico festival was concluded on November 8.
Many great events, many great openings, and one of the best international celebrations of the mosaic art. The AIMC again played a central role in this festival, with the Opere dal Mondo and other events.
1.Opere dal Mondo
The exhibition of the works of AIMC members was presented as the main event at the monumental Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste, the headquarters of the RavennaMosaico festival, a unique building with a grand atmosphere.
 
2. Commemorative Plaques Presented to AIMC Honorary Members
Two very important commemorations in AIMC history took place during the Ravenna mosaic festival. Ceremonies were held to honor master mosaicists Sergio Cicognani and Santo Sparta, both exceptional mosaicists and the last of the old guard of the legendary Gruppo Mosaicisti.
The work of Sergio Cicognani
The work of Santo Sparta
Commemorative plaques were presented to each of them; the presentation to Sergio Cicognani took place during his Exhibition/Hommage at the Academy of Fine Arts:
 Santo Sparta accepted his plaque during the annual AIMC dinner.
These ceremonies were in accordance with the AIMC bylaws,which provide that the title of honorary member is granted by the Board of Directors to those who render or who have rendered special services by promulgating the knowledge of mosaic in all its various aspects.
3. AIMC Showcase
A showcase window was generously provided to AIMC at the Cassa di Risparmio di Ravenna, located in the Piazza del Popolo. There, the history of the AIMC was presented, together with a giant-sized mosaic members’ card.
4. AIMC General Assembly
On Monday, October 12, the meeting of AIMC members took place at the MAR.
The minutes will be sent directly to the members.
 
5. AIMC Dinner
On Sunday, October 11, the AIMC dinner took place at the Passatelli Restaurant with 54 members and their friends attending. We enjoyed the local specialties and the tasty wine of the Romagna province, but above all, we all caught up with old friends and met new ones.

ILIYA ILIEV
Retrospective Solo Exhibition
 
 
A very important event took place on Monday, November 16, in Sofia, Bulgaria, at the Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts:
The inauguration of Iliya Iliev’s retrospective exhibition, celebrating his 60 years of creations. Prof. Iliev, an AIMC member since 1989, was entitled last year as AIMC HONORARY MEMBER. Nikos Tolis responding to the most kind invitation of the professor, inaugurated the exhibition and offered to him the relative commemorative plaque, adding this special event to the AIMC history. It was an evening of deep appreciation and acknowledgement: Surrounded by his wonderful mosaics, in a space full of people, Iliya was given, besides the AIMC plaque, medals from the Academy of Fine Arts of Sofia and from the Architects’ association of Bulgaria for his important role to the art and architecture in Bulgaria.
