Al Gore in Rome: a success for the launch of italian Current_TV
I’m just back from Rome, where I witnessed the launch of the italian Current_TV, the first non-english-speaking version of it.
I was invited at Jovinelli theatre together with about four hundred of other bloggers, technologists, journalists, students and such. It was a great idea (thank to friendly and hyper-energic Marco Montemagno and others), and a great occasion to meet some bloggers that I read, but never met in real life (Paolo Valdemarin, Massimo Mantellini…).
Al Gore, founder of Current_TV, was the main guest.
Enjoy some pictures I’ve taken with my modest Canon EOS 400D (you find these, and other, creative commons Attribution-only photos on my flickr account) :-)

Inside the theatre.
Luca Conti, a.k.a. Pandemìa, a famous italian blogger and latin lover.
Me (Simone Brunozzi) with Daniela Cerrato (Virgilio.it).
Marco Montemagno, italian technologist and journalist for SKY.
Who’s this guy? Can’t remember his name… hmmm…
Well, if he dyes his hair with black, he could resemble Al Gore… :-)

People.
The thing that everybody loved about Al Gore? His boots!
Final word: a great event, and I wish Good Luck to the italian Current_TV!
Nice shoots! I hope that Current_TV changes the italian (bad) TV!
Wish I could’ve been there–love Al Gore and his boots ;)
i was there, but i can’t speak whit you.
Great shots, Simone! :)
Thanks guys!
I hope something can change, we need a breaktrough in the way people think about the world and information is the key.
Current_TV is very interesting, but I can’t figure out why they choosed Italy after US and UK, I mean more than 70% of italians do not use Internet and about 50% don’t have a PC.
Uhm, great photoshow! So..the question to Al Gore was so..bored. :-)
