D'Pietro's new Konkani novel released "Sankoll", a Konkani novel written by Goa's ace novelist Bonaventure D'Pietro, was released by chief guest Francis D'Souza, Dy Chief Minister of Goa, at a function organised by the Dalgado Konknni Akademi at the Goa State Museum hall in Panjim, Goa, on May 4, 2013. The book deals with the wedding traditions and rites of Goa's Catholic community through the State. It also carries a CD containing the music and the traditional Konkani songs during the Goan wedding. A boy and a girl dressed in wedding attire along with two tiny aides and a large red umbrella over their heads, brought the book for the launch. Earlier, the guests were treated to special Goan sweets like bol, Kazarache vodde, san'na, etc. Pietro's musician sons Rabin and Raju rendered some Konkani songs and daughter-in-law Ruby also sang a song.
