ProLogue Eight

Herman van den Dungen:

 PrimaLuna 

 in Italian language is

 

"First Moon". My grandfather was the 

first

 

"Herman". My grandmother, an aristocratic lady in a small Dutch village, had a special name for 

her husband: 

"Maantje", which means

 

Little Moon

 

(which is now also the name of our small dog), 

van den Dungen. The people in the village adopted that name, and having a strong accent, they soon 

called him  

"Maontje" van den Dungen. My father's first name was Cor, but in the village it was of 

course 

"Cor from Maontje van den Dungen". I was of course

 

"Herman from Cor from Maontje van 

den Dungen" …… etc. That's why I thought of

 

First Moon as a brandname and that's why the logo is 

how it is ……

Loris Arrigucci:

 

PrimaLuna 

 believe it or not ... I discovered a small town located 50Km north of 

Milano called

 

Primaluna!!! Please get yourself a map from Italy. You'll find Primaluna town near the 

upper-right corner. It is located 50Km north of Milano near the Lake of Como. This should eliminate 

every doubt regarding "italian" origin of

 

Primaluna name. I've read the "history" section of

 the 

Primaluna village web site and found the following (literally translated):

One probable interpretation of the name of the village comes from latin

 "

Primum Lumen

"

, which 

means 

"

First Light

"

 of Christianism, since the very first evidence of Christianism in this region dates 

495 Annus Domini.

 "

First Light

"

 translates into

 "

Prima Luce

"

 in Italian and this seems very interesting 

to me: 

PrimaLuce (FirstLight)

 

is the first light that we, hi-fi lovers with small budgets, can see in this 

world of darkness populated by way too expensive esoteric gears ……
