With much sadness, last week we learned that Don Mario Maffioli, passed away during a meeting at the San Isidro Feria on Monday, August 3rd. An amazing and brilliant man, he was a true asset to our feria and to all who knew him. Our deepest sympathy to his beautiful wife Xinia, and all who loved him.
