Dear Maestro Nascimbene, my dear Mario. How to explain only in a few lines, all the affection and love I felt for you.
I can remember when I was only a six years old child, here in Spain my home, and a day when I went to an old
cinema with my mother to see "When Dinosaurs ruled the earth", and how much I can remember the so big
impression and happiness I felt of hearing your wonderful music score. A lot of years later, I could to do my old
dream true at last: to know you. I never forget the days I spent with you in Rome, in your house, to know you, my
better and more dear composer. In a special and rare way, you was the composer of the score of my own life. Since
that day at six years old, you have ever been in my mind and in my best childhood remembrances. After that visit to
Rome with you and yours, your sweet Caterina, and Claudio Fuiano...you are part of my life forever. You passed
away in January, 6 of this year, but to me you will live forever. To you my dear Mario...where you are... Rafael.
