Elizabeth recalls, “Bruce was always excited about going away, leaving even for a weekend was enough to put him in a good mood. [...] It was 1961 when I met him at Sotheby’s-she worked as secretary to Peter Wilson, president of the famous auction gallery-we often went to the Black Hill near Hay-on-Wye, to ride along the hills on Welsh ponies.”
Chatwin always said the best moments of their married life had been spent traveling: together they had been to various parts of Europe, in Paris he asked her to marry him, they also went to Pakistan, Nepal, India, Persia, China, Tunisia, the Himalayas.

Participating in the meeting will be:

Francesco d’Ayala, journalist and writer. RAI special correspondent, he covers hot topics such as wars, terrorism, immigration and culture, art, archaeology.
