Charleville-Mézières has received two letters and a poem by Arthur Rimbaud. The documents were given to the museum on Friday February 16 during a private evening, in the presence of the donor.
The identity of the patron, who wanted to remain anonymous, was finally revealed. “We have the feeling that he acquired these works to offer them to us,” confided Boris Ravignon, the mayor of Charleville. The donor is Pascal Urano, a local entrepreneur and former president of the CS Sedan Ardennes football club.
