Acquaviva Picena (AP), Italy - According to the famous Russian Olympic high jumper, Valery Brumel, true success in life is driven by the heart. Explaining his own championship record he said, “It is very simple. When I got close, I threw my heart beyond the bar and my body simply followed it.”

It is this kind of passion that drives so many in the world of athletics and in the creative world as well. To celebrate great creative achievements, Roland has launched the first in a series of international Creative Centers in Acquaviva Picena, Italy.
