In my previous post, I wrote about the launch of The Art of Detachment in Madrid a couple of weeks ago—a magical evening surrounded by extraordinary people, where I had the […]
It has been a wonderful experience to revisit the Sistine Chapel, now at a distance from the keyboard, also in an exquisite 360º virtual composition of impeccable quality. The distant visit has been reinvented and the first button is the proof. In [...]
