2022. Un bilancio più che positivo
Un altro anno di simulazioni e di Secondlife è passato.

Si chiama “indipendenza territoriale”.

I preferred to draw them,

Royale Grid Show July 2021
[en] (testo italiano di seguito) July 17, 2021, the date of the Royale Theater “Grid Show” contest. A coveted award, fierce competition, a festival of great effect. Two categories present: “beginners” and “advanced”.My show was included in the “advanced” category.The evaluation criteria by the jury were disclosed with full transparency, also because they are based on the participation requirements: Each judge makes a vote on each of the 4 points. The total sum makes up the score.On the funny note, the judges decided to use audio (not to say the votes, of course), so during the whole show, in the
