"Ciao! I´m Antonio and I write to you from Bergamo, Italy. Bergamo is situated some 40 km from Milan.  I have noticed there is a straight flight connection between my home town and Tampere and so I have decided to travel to your exotic country of thousand lakes. I really look forward to seeing you beautiful Finnish women too!

I would be extremely thankful if you could give me some hints concerning the works of Alvar Aalto. l have become a great fan of him because I visited Milan design week in April 2007. I saw there some greatest products of Artek and I found out that architect Aalto has grounded Artek.

Would you be so kind that you would list me some places which I could visit to get to know Aalto and his works (design and buildings) better. My plan is to stay in Finland for one week. Would you kindly plan me a raw schedule for my week so that it begins from Tampere and end there too. I would so much like to visit the birthplace of Aalto, too.

Thank you for advance for your great help! Maybe we´ll have a chance to meet during my visit to Finland? That would be fantastic!

With love, Antonio."
