Avete omnibus.
As I told in my presentation I'm a member of Legio I Italica.
Sorry if I give a short answer only today but, despite mi daily connection with RAT, I didn't read anything.
For us, those were terrible days indeed.
I'll give a very short answer because, after the event, our Council will explain all the situation with all the details.
First thing: all the things happened to you the same happened to us. Andrea Cologni acted with us in the same way he acted with you: great promises, great words but when the moment for the realization came, he disappeared. He left us with no tickets booked and with no contacts with the Bulgarian organization. What is worse is that he managed to collect some money from us and from the Bulgarians before he fled away.
After a first decision by our group to cancel the event from our dates we were contacted by the organization in Bulgary and they told us that they wanted to organize the event as well. Sponsors and politics were already contacted by Cologni and they didn't afford a failure. They decided to try.
They did a great effort, using their money to pay our tickets and arrangements and managing all the transports.
But it was all done in 20/15 days only and you can imagine the confusion. We had enormous difficulties to find a place in the airplanes because in these days, in Bulgaria, it's a very important holiday and it was all booked. We had problems with the transportation of our equipment and so on.
We didn't know how many groups the infamous Cologni contacted.
For example, this Sunday, in an event in Italy near my city, in Brixellum (now Brescello, the city of the famous battle during the Four Emperor Year and city of Don Camillo&Peppone movies) we encountered a group of ladies who reenact a "Lupanare" who were sure to go to Novae, but they did not receive no tickets codes or other. They know only that they will start from Italy today.
hock:
I'm one of the "victim" of the situation. We find some place but we had to start from Italy yesterday instead of Friday. I could not manage to have another day of vacation. And the same for my sister and other members of Legio I Italica.
A small group of us will reach Novae by car starting from Italy today.
This is only a small representation of what happened.
All will be explained when my "Fratres" will come back at home, next week.
Vale
P.S.: sorry for my bad English. I hope you understand what I've said :oops:
