Pere Renom

“We have given you, O Adam, no visage proper to yourself, nor endowment properly your own, in order that whatever place, whatever form, whatever gifts you may, with premeditation, select, these same you may have and possess through your own judgement and decision […] We have made you a creature neither of heaven nor of earth, neither mortal nor immortal as the free and proud shaper of your own being, fashion yourself in the form you may prefer.”
Oration on the Dignity of Man – Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

Speakers Miquel Vila, advisor at Guild of Tanners Igualada; Teresa Mir, Head of Services, Business Chair in A3 UPC, and José Fernández, manufacturer of motorbike suits for racing in CDream.
