Tuesday morning, April 6, around 8:30 am I will answer some questions on the topic of “the journey” on the radio show “Ben Fatto” on Raiuno Radio, conducted by Annalisa Manduca and Lorenzo Opice. This is a topic which is dear to us, the seekers of meaning and friends of Valerio Albisetti, so much so that it is the name of this blog.

Pass the word because unfortunately I don’t get many opportunities to testify to our search for meaning, and also because this is a courageous show in the way it treats certain issues and the listeners can call in.
