Somehow, this beautiful story about a pure-hearted, luminous child, needs to reach a broader audience. Maybe as a short story, a play, or even a movie.

What an astonishing and moving experience that was! I desperately want you to find and reconnect with her, both to learn the secret of her story and to know what her path has been since then.

I love this story! I taught English in Milano, before I had perfected my Italian. As it turned out, I taught English while the children taught me Italian. Unfortunately, I also learned inappropriate language. Little hyperactive Luigi needed to sit next to me, so that I could teach the class and control Luigi at the same time. To my surprise, Luigi's parents picked him up at the end of the term and congratulated me for teaching their son to use his hyper little self to pay attention in class.
