Back to Camogli to present his latest book "Not for courage but for love"

published by Piemme/Mondadori, ANDREA CISTERNINO,

Guest of Honor and winner of the Goodness Award at the 61st edition of the International Dog Loyalty Award

of 16 August 2022.

​

The event will take place on Saturday 3 December 2022 at 16:30 in the foyer of the Social Theater of Camogli, in Piazza Matteotti 5, with free admission and will be organized by the San Rocco di Camogli Tourist Promotion Association and by the Municipality of Camogli, in collaboration with the Teatro Sociale.

​

Andrea Cisternino will bring his personal and touching testimony of how he experienced the most terrible moments of the war in Ukraine.

​

Andrea Cisternino remained under bombardment in order not to abandon his Italy KJ 2 refuge in Kiev and its more than 400 animals. Andrea, Italian, fashion and costume photographer, dedicated his life to saving innocent creatures, victims of ill-treatment and for this reason he won the Paolo Borsellino Red Agenda National Award in 2013 and the "We are doing our part" International Award in 2020 received together with Pope Francis.

​

Grateful to welcome Andrea Cisternino again, whom the audience of our 61st Prize greeted with a prolonged standing ovation on 16 August, we invite everyone to participate in the meeting on 3 December in Camogli in the foyer of the Teatro Sociale, remembering that those who will be able to purchase on this occasion his book "NOT FOR COURAGE BUT FOR LOVE - My story under the bombs with 400 animals to save", published by Piemme/Mondadori.
