Solidarity and peace message from Italy
August 2007
During the summer of 2007, Mario was asked if he would participate in the "Marco Polo" team's planned trip. The team consisted already of 3 motorbike drivers and a cameraman, however they needed a support car to follow them from Venice to Hiroshima. 1800km - 6 weeks on the road.The trip was for charity, in favour of the ill children of Chernobyl and especially for the
children of the Orphanage of Krugloye, situated in the province of Moghilof in Bielorussia,
one of the most affected regions of the nuclear radiation.
The journey ended in Hiroshima, carrying a message of solidarity and peace; all to raise public attention to the two biggest nuclear tragedies of the XX century.
Mario was joined by the rest of his family in Japan - as can be seen on the last picture in the
article, where Lau stands next to Mario, putting down cranes at the Sadako statue.
