(Clearwisdom.net) On March 1, a distribution ceremony for the book Falun Gong was held in a bookstore located in the downtown area of Florence, Italy. Ms. Laura Lodigiani from TV station Italia 7 hosted the ceremony. Mr. Silvio Calzolari, an expert in oriental issues, delivered a welcome message. Congressman Massimo Lensi gave a speech on the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

The ceremony lasted over 2 hours, during which practitioners showed Dafa truth-clarifying videotapes and demonstrated the exercises.

Nearly one hundred guests and readers attended the ceremony. They actively asked questions to Falun Gong practitioners and the host, who gave detailed answers to their questions. Some radio stations and other media also came to get interviews.

In just a few days after the ceremony, local practitioners received a lot of phone calls inquiring on where and how to learn Falun Gong.
