[Speech of Mr. Aoki]
As guest speech, Mr. Akira Aoki, who enrolled in the Nippon Television Network Corporation and played an active part as producer or director of the documentary programs, gave a lecture titled: "Record of restoration of the Cappella Sistina for 13 years and me". The Cappella Sistina is built adjacent to the Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano. It is famous for the large ceiling pictures, such as the Genesis, and the fresco "the Last Judgment" which Michelangelo drew. The deterioration by soot of candle was pointed out about the ceiling pictures and frescos of the Cappella Sistina. The Nippon Television Network Corporation supported its repair for 13 years 1981-1994. The ceiling pictures and frescos were washed and the bright color like those days of production revived. Through the experience that he was concerned as full-time producer with the record business of the restoration of the ceiling pictures and frescos in the Cappella Sistina, he knew that there is the European mind in the Cappella Sistina, and Italian boasts of it, and they feel close to it. He enthusiastically and simply told his experience that he commanded the record of the restoration in the head. Listening the speech of Mr. Aoki, I admired the Nippon Television Network Corporation who had wrestled against a great business.
After the speech, the auction was held with silent method, a new trial. Spending the time before the opening of the meeting and after the meal effectively, we bid. The highest bidding price was updated in sequence. We were able to perform the bottom line announcement in a short time, too. Finally the other guests spoke a word. The regular meeting of April "LT Night" was closed.
