Entry Description

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.
