| Me, Enrico, Vic & Gianluca |
The last 2 days of the CodeCamp were really frenetic, we didn't have much time to sleep, let alone to post a blog update, so I am writing this from home, following some notes/pointers I managed to sketch here and there.
Code Camp: Day #12
The day in which we had to present the results of our work. The morning was spent finishing what was left of each group's tasks and then integrating them in order to make the project presentable to the press and to the audience. In the afternoon in fact there would've been a lot of people to assist to the presentation, journalists included, just as example there were RAI's Videocameras (RAI is the italian public service broadcaster), San Vito's major, The vide-president of Puglia's region, the president of the Conf-Commerce association.

Vittorio had to leave before the presentation started, and at that moment I started feeling melancholic, it was kind of like, when a vacation ends and you realize you have to say goodbye to the friends that shared that experience with you. A few hours before the presentation started, I took the chance to shot a lot of pictures to the ExFadda and to our apartment with Gianluca's photocamera, because I wanted to have a memory of all the places where our adventure took place. I took a shower, and then headed to the conference, where I was called on the stage to discuss about the project first (with diagrams projected on my back) and the human aspects of our CodeCamp then (with embarassing pictures projected on my back). I came up with an...evocative sentence (it was about the chunks & fragments) that sounded more or less like "Regroup! Join up! Be a single thing!" (the original was: "Raggruppatevi! Unitevi! Siate una cosa sola!") that stroke the audience (in more ways than one xD). The presentation was a success, many congratulated to us, and Puglia's Vice-President personally approached me to congratulate.

Finished the presentation we proceded to have (a late) dinner to a restaurant, in which we recollected together all the good moments, and we critically analyzed what should be improved for a CodeCamp 2.0 . After eating several appetizers and a seafood first dish, we toasted (many times) and we ate the Cake we bought to thank the staff & some sweets that Giuseppe's family gave us.

After the dinner the staff went home, while we proceded for a last round to the bar, where the house offered us Tequila, Cinnamon and Orange slices & Japan Ice / Long Island's cocktails.

When we got back, we sat on the sofa, laughing but with a sad face at the same time. We didn't want that night to end. Before we went to sleep Gianluca gave us some ceramic magnets with pictures of his city printed on them, as gifts.
It was an...hot night with hot goodbyes, but someone was sleepy. :P
Code Camp: Day #13
When we woke up Domenico had already left to Brindisi, while Gianluca was coming back after going to buy some croissant and local sweets to have a last breakfast with us. Gianluca's just...great. When the time came we had to depart (his fly was in the morning) it was really sad, we got a little emotive. While he was walking away, we shouted behind his back. I am sure, I really am, we'll meet again.
I then proceded to pack my stuffs. It was kind of a mess, since I had even more stuffs than when I arrived. Luckily someone helped me to fold my stuffs and fix them in the bag, adding that someone's special touch to my otherwise messed shirts. Our neighbours came to say goodbye to us, and once our luggage was ready we left the house and we went around S.Vito for one last time...During the past days when we walked around the streets or the plaza we would often be recognized since the CodeCamp was a big topic among the citizens and our shirts would help getting pinpointed.
Uccio drove us to Brindisi where we would take our bus, so Me and Enri started our trip back home...
See y'all soon!
