Benefit to restore Santa Maria del Suffragio

I just received an email from Antonella Mason. She is participating in an exhibition in London to raise funds for the Abruzzo's art destroyed by a recent earthquake.

Here is the description from the Italian Cultural Institute's website:
Following the devastating Aquila earthquake, respected artists Magdalena Rutkowska and Blandine Martin have been inspired to organise an exhibition of paintings donated by well established artists. Exhibition will take place from 29th June to 5th July at the Italian Cultural Institute in London. There will be a gala auction on 2nd July, 7pm, organised by Bloomsbury. The proceeds will go straight into the mammoth task of restoring the destroyed 18th century church Santa Maria del Suffragio.

Wonderful initiative- I hope this is a tremendous success. If you would like more information or would like to donate, please visit: http://www.icilondon.esteri.it/IIC_Londra/webform/SchedaEvento.aspx?id=444
