We have all fallen in love with Marino. Isabel's daughter-in-law and Executive Director of the Isabel Allende Foundation Lori met Marino—the Isabel Allende Fan of the Year—on a recent trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, where she was participating in a Mary Ellen Mark photography workshop. It was actually a fellow student, Maria Emilia Moncayo, who happened upon him. While taking photos of Marino's farm and family, Maria stumbled upon Marino’s extensive Allende library. Maria shot a few photos of Marino and, as you can see, he’s clearly enraptured by "the" Isabel Allende.
When Maria told Marino that Isabel Allende's daughter-in-law was just a few hours away in Oaxaca, he made the journey into the city to meet up with her, delivering a packet of lovely poems for Isabel, all beautifully written on handmade paper.
Here are the photos and a scan of two of the poems. It must be nice to be so loved…
Well, now Marino has fans of his own. We love you too, Marino!
