Many of you no doubt have an avalanche of questions regarding the meteoric downfall of World Lindy Hop Day in Rome. Here we are going to attempt to give you the answers you are looking for by creating an open discussion forum that will hopefully be informative and shed more light on the key issues of what went wrong. To start with we want you to read some downloadable testimonials from myself Ryan Francois and others to let you know our sides of the story. A lot that has been written will be very alarming and I expect extreme reactions from you the public. A criminal investigation will be unavoidable with regards to our stories so if you have evidence to support or refute what has been said. Please speak out, it’s very important.

As promised, here is an additional statement from Davide Rizzo who is a resident of Genova and former participant of Silvia Palazzolo’s events. Davide has bravely written this account of his experiences with Silvia and believes it’s important to share his story. This is the correct version. Sorry.
