For President Capasso, this is the 49th time he has visited what he considers his "second city", after Naples. Much has changed since his first visit in 1988 and the effects of globalisation are evident: nevertheless, the climate, atmosphere, smells and tastes bring to mind a magical, intimate Marrakech, waiting to be discovered.
After a visit with friends to the Majorelle gardens, the Koutubia and other places in the city, we visited the atelier of dear Said Margoul, who recently passed away.
