Magnani is an artist. He painted murals in the Mansion Dandi Royal in San Telmo and he carved entire walls in the lower studio. His imagination grabbed my heart in 2006, but we would only come home with some paintings and why did I ever think, "Mike, Let's invite him to our apartment and see if we can afford a mural. But we did and he did. 8 days of laughter, tango and watching the progress. 10 tango figures with the "prostituta" in orange looking longingly for the tango. Each face shows a diferent emotion. The day we left- May 1st, when the shutters closed the light out of our apartment- I felt like I had left my family behind. We named them as he painted. Cecilia, Silvina and on and on.
The apartment is now a home to us. All the touches and lots of light with the wonderful city views from the 10th floor make it our special "santuarium."
Magnani introduced us, without English to Podesta, Lydia Borda and his friend Ernesto who promised to dance with me in the fall.
