In the last three days there was the celebration of 50 years of INFN (the National Institute for Nuclear Physics), so the 13th of november I was in a meeting with many of the italian experts on particle physics. We were all very shocked when we learned about the accident of SK, and this was at the center of many discussions and considerations. I could measure how the experiment is considered by all at the very highest rank, and how everybody sees the accident as a very serious setback for science. Today we have read the statement of Totsuka-sensei, and we are admiring the strength that the collaboration is showing in these difficult circumstances, immediately planning the restart. We all hope the recovery will be quick. I'm absolute sure that the neutrino program in Japan will continue as a world leader. (and ... we may even get a better SK for JHF !) With my best wishes Paolo
