Dear Maria, dear Conchlers,

verry sorry as Guglielmo Barighi was a very friendly
person and a great collector. I have been in his
hous át about 1980 and saw a wonderful collection
of Cypraeidae. He had in his showcases - so I
remembering well - mostly 2 specimens of each kind
of Cypraeidae - one with dorsal the other with ventral
view and this looked great.
I have been together with Kety at his home and was
fascinated to his shells. He was also criticman of
film and very great specialist for cinema.
A great person died. I am very sad.
with best shelling greetings
Helmut from Innsbruck
