Tea at five o’clock – informal conversations on our FB, LinkedIn pages and YouTube with entrepreneurs, consultants and people from Non Profit Organizations. 10 minutes a day, at five in the afternoon from April 18th Why these meetings?

Unless you swim in the canal, or jump off a bridge, but this goes under the name of imbecility. At most, if you like walking barefoot in the high water you could meet a pantegana (big, big rat) and get the “samoro nero” (distemper) otherwise it’s all right, you can...
