Hello guys,

I’m Bruno Moretti Turri, astronomer, radioamateur IK2WQA, 55 years young wink
With many other friends and thanks to Hugo Estrella Tampieri, CFI Co-Transnational Director, now we have done the NEW CFI in Italy.

Sacrilege! Center for Inquiry in the… “pope’s land”!
Very wonderful!
wink

I’m expert in radio astronomy and SETI enthusiast from my meet in Pasadena in 1990 with Carl Sagan, my very best friend, guide and teacher (because us atheists don’t have guru).

Please read: Reflections on a Mote of Dust by Carl Sagan

My avatar is the Flag of Earth.
The Flag of Earth flies at SETI locations around the world. It symbolizes the fact that SETI is carried out on behalf of humankind as a whole. The individual people, organizations, and nations involved are immaterial, since any signal received will belong to all of humanity, and represent Earth’s entry into the Galactic community.
The yellow part of the flag is the Sun, the blue circle symbolizes the Earth, and the small white circle represents the Moon.

Greetings to all from NEW Center For Inquiry. 
Center For Inquiry Italy!

Hey great to have you here—and to have a member of CFI’s center in Italy! I am familiar with CFI-Spain, run by the eminently capable Luis Alfonso Gámez, but don’t know the Italian folks. Lovely country!

Thanks you all.

Oh, sorry!
I have forgotten to give to CFI forum people the benediction. wink
Benediction by my friend Piergiorgio Odifreddi,
italian atheist logical mathematician (Prof. also in Cornell University, Ithaca, NY).

Obviously in latin:
“Benedicat vos omnipotes Logos: in nomine
Pater Pythagoras,
Filius Archimedes
et Spiritus Sanctus Newtonius.”
