Sono riuscita a recuperare delle vecchie e consunte foto, che mia madre aveva conservato con molta cura in una scatola. Chissa' quante però, si sono perse, durante i vari traslochi e trasferimenti da un paese all'altro del mondo, dove i miei genitori hanno vissuto prima di stabilirsi definitivamente in Italia nel 1968 ...
In this, a bit unusual page, I wanted to collect some pieces of my past.
A simple tribute to those who preceded me!
I succeeded in recovering some old and worn pictures, which my mother kept very carefully in a boxe. I wonder how many other has been lost during the removals when my parents moved from a country to another where they lived before they finally settled in Italy in 1968 ...
LIKE THE BRANCHES WE MAY GROW IN MANY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, BUT OUR ROOTS REMAIN FIRMLY IN THE GROWND AND WILL KEEP US TOGETHER, FOREVER. |
First three pictures referred to my father’s family.
