No Day Shall Erase You The Story of 9/11 As Told at the September 11 Museum

At 9.15pm on Saturday, 8th September 2001, Gore Vidal, the world's most authoritative critic of American foreign policy, gave a talk on The Bombing of Pearl Harbor in Mantova, a small renaissance city in the north of Italy. About one thousand people, including journalists from all parts of the country and almost every member of the powerful local elite, attended the event, which was monitored and recorded throughout. During his speech, Vidal said that America would soon be the victim of an attack by the Islamic world, and the attack would be of such a dimension that it might precipitate a Third World War. Gore Vidal's words of warning were never reported in the Italian media nor in any other country, even though the terrorist attacks against America by the Islamic world took place on Tuesday, 11th September 2001, just three days after Vidal delivered his momentous speech.The words of the great Latin poet Virgil, Mantova's most celebrated citizen, are inscribed on New York's September 11th memorial.'No day shall erase you from the memory of time.'
