My grandmother was born in 1915, with Orson Welles, Giuliano
Vassalli , Augusto Pinochet and many other more or less famous
. It was the year when Italy entered the war . In that year was
founded the nail ( the jacket ) , Metamorphosis Kafka public and
Einstein 's theory of relativity does know . It was the year of the
earthquake in Avezzano.
That's my grandmother has nothing relevant , it is not known
how Welles , it is not as bad as Pinochet and has never
published anything . But my grandmother and this is enough for
me.
Grandma was born in the mountains of Abruzzo, living a life
that we can imagine, bride Mario , my grandfather, gives birth to
Sandro and Anna , my mother. Remains married to Mario until
1999 when on a cold February Parkinson brings him away. Even
though it was old and in pain until the last Mario has ever
witnessed . Since 2009, no longer lives at his house because of
the earthquake , an ideal closing of the circle, made ​​it unusable
. Grandma has never made ​​break down by life. He has always
given so much and has never asked for anything. Now he lives
his life in his thoughts ninety-eight years suspended , pending
review of Mario , to fill the void created by his absence, and to
continue the journey together.
