The host of the seminar was an Italian practitioner who began by asking everyone why they had decided to attend the Falun Dafa seminar. The atmosphere was quite lively; some people said that they saw the seminar reported in the media, some said that they were touched by the principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance”, and others said that they had heard about the persecution of Falun Gong and were then interested in the seminar. The practitioner answered any questions they had, talked more about the practice of Falun Dafa, and taught people the four standing exercises and the sitting meditation.

Many people felt strong energy from practising the exercises and said that they were very lucky to get the chance to learn Falun Gong. There are now four Falun Gong practice sites in Savona City.
