FESTA DELLA REPUBBLICA PROGRAM:
Council of Presidents - La Festa Della Repubbica
31048 McNamee Fraser, MI 48026
The “Festa della Repubblica” is the Italian national holiday celebrated on the second day of June. It commemorates
the institutional referendum of 1946 when the Italian population was called to decide on a form of government monarch
or republic after the second world ware and the fall of Fascism.
After 85 years of monarchy, with 12,717,923 votes for and 10,719,284 votes against, Italy became a Republic, and the
monarchs of the House of Savoy were deposed and exiled. This is one of the most important Italian national holidays
which, like July 14th in France, Storming of the Bastille and July 4th in the USA, Independence Day, celebrates the birth
of a nation.
The Council of Presidents, along with the Italian Consulate, COMITES and The Italian American Cultural Society is
honored to sponsor the 2014 Festa della Repubblica which will be held Sunday, June 1, 2014 at the Italian American
Cultural Center in Clinton Township.
We are presently in the process of planning for the this years’ events. Your participation in the past is greatly
appreciated and once again, we call upon your generosity and support by purchasing an advertisement in our program
book.
Below is an advertising contract listing ad sizes and prices. We would appreciate your response by May 15, 2014.
The success of our fundraising efforts depends largely upon you. We hope that you will join us in celebration of this
important event.

Smith
Julia Smith, Miss
Michigan’s Outstanding Teen 2013is a
freshman at Henry
Ford High School
and lives in Sterling
Heights. She is the
oldest daughter of
Mathew and Mary
(Silverio) Smith and has a
younger sister Sarah.
Her strong commitment to the
Italian community started at a
very young age. She learned the
Italian National Anthem, and
performed several times with the
Coro Italiano. She participated
in many Italian events throughout the years; i.e., Columbus
Day Lansing Trip, Columbus
Day Parades and the Festa della
Repubblica. At the age of 12,
she joined the Venetian Club of
Mutual Aid as a junior member,
of which she is now the Junior
President. In 2012, she was
sity on a Football Scholarship
on February 5th, 2014. David is
the grandson of Horace Basirico
and Michelle Basirico, Italian
immigrants, who moved from
Italy to Michigan in 1960.
David was a three-year Varsity
Starter as a defensive back who
was selected to the Detroit Free
Press Fab 50: Top 50 Football
Prospects in Michigan. David is
also a four-year Dakota Varsity
Track Sprinter and High Jumper, who set the school record in

Her true
passion is
dance. She
is a competitive
dancer and
assistant
teacher at
Dancer ’s
Edge Studio in Macomb and
has been dancing since she was
six. The All Star Team that she
is a part of has earned several national titles across the country. As
a soloist, she has earned several
top placing awards and a regional
Miss Starquest Teen Dancer. She
has performed several times at the
Lion’s Thanksgiving Day halftime show with the United Way.
This past summer, Julia was invited to perform at the “Dancing
with the All Stars” charity event
supporting Jack’s Place.

In 1982, Tony started his own
able Anthony G. Forlini
State Representative
Anthony Forlini is the
son of an Italian immigrant, who came to
the United States for
a better life for their
children.
Tony, as he likes to be
called, was raised in
St. Clair Shores; then
later in Clinton Township where he graduated from Fraser High School
before attending Western
Michigan University, earning
a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He married his wife Diane in 1985,
and they settled in Harrison
Township. Together, Diane
and Tony had three beautiful children who all attended
which allowed her to participate
in Miss America’s Outstanding
Teen in Orlando, Florida last August. Through this title, she has
been awarded several scholarships for talent and fitness. During her year, she has spent time
promoting the national platform
of Children’s Miracle Network
and has attended several events
locally. She has also volunteered
at events held by the Mount Clemens Lions Club, the Alhambra’s, Down Syndrome Group of
Oakland County, and as a spokesperson for the “Girls Know How”
book series.
This coming summer, Julia is
excited to be traveling to Italy
with her grandmother and aunt.
She will be touring the region of
Friuli Venezia Giulia (where her
grandparents immigrated from)
and learning the language and
culture. Her future hopes are to
attend college and pursue a communications degree. She is honored to be a part of the Festa Della
Repubblica this year and thanks

Tony’s
f a t h e r
was
an
immigrant
f r o m
Pignataro
Interamna from the Province
of Frosinone in the shadows of
Monte Cassino. His mother’s
family came from a small
village in Sicily called Buseto
Palizzolo near Trapani.
Over the years, Tony and
his family have attended St.
Hubert’s Catholic Church. He
has also volunteered for many
years as a member of the St.
Hubert Knights of Columbus
where he also served as Grand
Knight.
As his children began to enter
their teenage years, Tony cochaired a youth group through
St. Hubert’s – growing it from
a small handful of high school
kids to over several hundred
making it one of the largest in
the Archdiocese. In this role,
he organized annual bicycle
trips for the kids crossing
the state, as well as, other
countries. The highlight of
all his trips was, of course,
in Italy. The ride started from
the top of Mount Vesuvius,
traveled along the Amalfi
Coast ending in the small
town of his father’s birthplace.
There, the kids learned
firsthand what a working
Italian farm looked and felt
like. They also learned the
hospitality and graciousness
of the Italian people.
After years of volunteering
in his community, Tony took
on a new challenge as he was
elected Harrison Township
Supervisor in 2004. During
his service to the township,
he focused on streamlining
government
operations.
He believed on smaller
bureaucracy while taking
the savings and spending it
on infrastructure and quality
of life improvements in the
community. Tony served in
that capacity until he was
elected in 2010 to serve his area
as state representative. Since
he was elected, he has passed
election reforms; voted to
lower taxes, and helped draft
and pass three budgets four
months ahead of deadline
that are balanced, fiscally
responsible and the quickest
it’s been done in 30 years. To
date, he has 10 Public Acts.
Tony prides himself for his
bipartisan efforts; he works
hard to get his bills passed on
an overwhelming bipartisan
basis.
His
small
business
background allows him to be
an asset in his role as state
representative by serving on
the House Appropriations
Committee. He also serves
as chair of the Licensing
and
Regulatory
Affairs
Appropriations Subcommittee
and as vice-chair of the
Department of Environmental
Quality
Appropriations
Subcommittee. It has been
his honor and privilege to
have hosted the Columbus
Day Celebration in Lansing
for the last three years. In
2013, Tony was the Columbus
Day Parade Grand Marshall
in Mount Clemens, MI.

IACS Seniors Bocce League Summer 2014
By Antonio di Giorgio
HELLO EVERYONE! Here
we are, approaching a season
of fun and friendship when we
exercise our body and socialize
with a good excuse, which we
call “Bocce”. Well, wouldn’t
you know, that is the antidote
for that disease called…I do not
remember! This activity among
friends is healthy and should be
done more often.
This year we start on May 20 for
those players choosing to play
on Tuesdays, and May 21, for
the Wednesday’s players. Please
do not miss the registration date,
May 6, 2014 at 10:00 AM.
Our President has demonstrated
his committment to this Bocce
League by offering the courts
free of charge for the members.
Bar
beverages,
espresso,
cappuccino, and food are
available to all for a nominal
charge.
In typcial Italian fashion, before
game time we can be found
sipping on a good espresso, or
even a cappuccino with friends
who would fight to be first to
offer it. I have to thank many of
them who have won the fight!
While playing you cannot help
smelling the garlic and onion
odors coming from the kitchen;
this is when your tummy starts
looking for a good Cesar salad,
or a pizza, sandwich, etc. for
lunch.
Now you are getting the picture,
this place called the IACS is our
home away from home! Lets
examine the offerings of other
nationality clubs. Polish clubs
have food and dance. German
clubs have food, dances, and
soccer.
Albanians/ Slavic
countries’ clubs have food,
dances, movies, and soccer.
The IACS has all of this plus
“The Bocce League”.
It is very important that we the
members are doing our part!
Just remember if we do not
support our own Club…where
would you go to feel at home?
Lets unite as “Italians” for a
change!
Lets all, in good faith, support
the efforts of all the IACS board
members, and workers who are
doing the impossible to satisfy
our needs and wants.
IACS Summer 2014 Seniors Bocce League
It’s time to turn our thoughts to spring and outdoor bocce! The
IACS Seniors League is for players age sixty and over. Anyone
who wants to play, regardless of their skill level, is welcome to
join the league. Registration Tuesday, May 6, 10:00a.m. at The
Everyone who wants to join must come and register that day.

The Italian American Cultural Society: About Us
Operated by the Italian
American Cultural Society,
the Center is governed by a
Board of Directors elected
by the membership. Directors
serve voluntarily and receive
no compensation. An advisory board of directors, comprised of representatives from
various clubs and associations, and advisors from the
academic community freely
donate their knowledge and
expertise. A full-time staff of
administrative, clerical, and
maintenance personnel is employed by the Society. The
IACS Banquet and Conference Center’s skilled and accomplished staff does coordinate weddings, showers, and
parties at our beautiful facility. The IACS became a taxexempt foundation in 1962.
The Italian American Cultural Society was established
in 1957 by a small group of
dedicated visionaries, who
dreamed of developing a
meeting place where Italian
Americans could gather to
preserve their traditions,
values, and customs.
These concerned few
planned a communityoriented structure in
which to develop cultural programs and
educational services attuned to enhancing the
lifestyles of all Italian
Americans, indeed the
entire community. Over
the years, many of our state’s
foremost business organizations, social and professional
groups, as well as Macomb
Community College, Wayne
State University, and the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of the Republic of Italy have
provided invaluable guidance
and leadership for the Society’s enterprising work. The
Center’s primary sources of
revenue are received
from
membership
dues, fees for the use
of the facilities, payments for educational
courses and programs,
and
contributions
from individuals, organizations, and foundations.
It is the Center’s privilege to host many diverse community activities
throughout the year, such as
the Festa Italiana in summer
and the annual Columbus
Day Celebration. We proudly share our culture through
musical programs, cultural/
heritage lecture series, film
festivals, art exhibits and displays, and patriotic observations, such as the Festa della
Repubblica Italiana in June.
Many social events are sponsored by either the Society
or by other groups and associations. These projects and
events supply resources necessary to maintain the facility and supplement revenues
produced by the Center.
The Center sponsors one of
the largest Senior Citizens
groups in the metro Detroit
area. Members attend monthly
meetings, which feature interesting and informative speakers and entertainment. A busy
schedule of trips and
activities is maintained, such as outings to restaurants,
casinos, theaters,
historic churches.
The Seniors are
an integral part of
the IACS, volunteering at events
and
supporting
the Center.

newspaper, underwritten
by the Center, is a monthly, bilingual publication
that provides Italian Americans and others in the
metro area with information about the Center and
its events, in addition to
news and views about Italy. In addition, it features
events happening out in the
community. The paper also
serves as a public relations
tool for many smaller Italian
organizations to help promote
activities and programs.
Italian language classes are offered at the Center through the
Education Department. This
is a five year program cover-
ing all four language skills,
listening, speaking, reading,
and writing. Our instructors
are highly qualified in teaching philosophy, methods, and
proper use of materials. Italian
Education Scholarships sponsored by the Italian American
Cultural Society offer a wonderful opportunity to high
school students (9th through
12th grade) to obtain two semesters of Italian language at
the Italian American Cultural
Center in Clinton Township.
Five IACS scholarships consisting of two semesters of
Italian education are awarded
(September – April). The winners of scholarships receive a
certificate towards continuing
the Italian education classes at
Center and a letter of recommendation for college.

Michigan Première of Michael Angelo DiLauro’s
Film La Mia Strada
By Sandra Tornberg
On March 28 the Italian Heritage
Society and the Federazione Abruzzese
del Michigan (FADM) sponsored the
Michigan première of the film La Mia
Strada (“My Road”), a beautiful featurelength documentary by Michael Angelo
DiLauro.
Mr. Di Lauro is a distinguished director
and producer of documentaries, television
programs, commercials, and corporate
productions. He has earned five regional
Emmys, a Blue Ribbon at the American
Film Festival, several
American Advertising
(ADDY) awards and
the Gabriel award for
outstanding television
programming.
In
addition, Mr. DeLauro’s
previous documentary
film entitled Prisoners
Among Us: Italian
American Identity and
WWII earned him the
Grand Jury Prize at the
New York International
Independent
Film
Festival in 2004. Mr.
DiLauro is the Director
of the Academic Media Center and
Associate Professor in the Media Arts
Department at Robert Morris University
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His family
is from Ascoli Satriano, in the province
of Foggia in the region of Puglia, and
San Potito Sannitico in the province of
Caserta in the region of Campania.
During the six years it took to complete,
La Mia Strada, clearly a labor love,
Mr. DiLauro interviewed dozens
of people in Italy and the United
States, poured through family
photographs, explored historical
sites, and examined archaeological
artifacts. The music, poetry and oral
histories of the Abruzzo, Molise,
and Puglia regions took on great
significance for Mr. DiLauro as
the film uses the historic shepherd
trails (tratturi) that connect these
regions to examine the diffusion
of culture and identity. La Mia Strada
features the beautiful music of DisCanto,
an Abruzzese folk group.
Mr. DiLauro’s film links ancient and
modern Italian life with Italian-American
life. There are telling and amusing
interviews in which Italians give their
opinions of Italian-Americans, and
vice-versa. Most importantly La Mia
Strada demonstrates the ways in which
families endeavor to maintain traditions
and the delicate bonds that exist across
generations and continents.
The audience at Wayne State
University was delighted
when Mr. DiLauro told them
that after having screened
the film approximately
seventy times, “this audience
really got it”, laughing
and reacting to the film
where he would expect it.
The film clearly resonated
with the audience, which
was comprised largely of
Italians, Italian-Americans,
and students of Italian
language at WSU. The
audience had the opportunity
to meet Mr. DiLauro and socialize at a
reception immediately following the film
in the Italian Heritage Room.
The film trailer for La Mia Strada can
be found at http://www.youtube.com/

Meet Sarah Lee
By Sandra Tornberg
This month The Italian
American is proud to
recognize another one of
our loyal sponsors. Sarah
Lee is the founder, owner,
and manager of Lee-Ellena
Funeral Home, located at
46530 Romeo Plank in
Macomb. Sarah had worked
in her family’s business
Bill Lee Oldsmobile until
it closed in 2004 as a
result of General Motors
Corporation’s decision to
eliminate the Oldsmobile
brand.
Sarah decided to pursue a
career in funeral service,
inspired by her experiences
following her mother’s death
five years prior. She enrolled
in Wayne State University’s
Mortuary Science Program,
graduating in 2006, and
was licensed as a funeral
director in 2007 after
serving an apprenticeship at
Resurrection Funeral Home
and passing the required
State and National Board
exams. Lee-Ellena Funeral
Home opened in March
2008, embodying Sarah’s
vision to create something
different.
S a r a h ’ s
focus
on
“celebrating
life”
is
evident in the
architecture
and layout of
the facility and
the demeanor
of the staff.
M a k i n g
families feel
comfortable
at a difficult
time in their lives is most
important.
To this end,
Lee-Ellena Funeral Home
features amenities such as
and sitting rooms adjacent
to each chapel,
hospitality
suites,
outdoor
patios, children’s
playroom,
and
state-of-the-art
wireless, audio and
video technology.
Chapels feature
curio cabinets in
which
families
! are encouraged to
display momentos
of their deceased
that help to communicate
their life story.

families to understand what
they will experience as they
grieve their loved one. She
credits a hospice worker who
was a great help to her when
her mother died, for telling
her what she could expect:
that it would “hit her in
ninety days and there would
be physical symptoms”, such
as exhaustion and mental
confusion brought on by
grief.
To help the loved ones, LeeEllena Funeral Home offers
many forms of support.
They include grief letters, a
lending library of materials
about grief and loss, a
spring/summer
memorial
balloon launch, and a holiday
candlelight
memorial
service. In addition, they
offer a monthly support
group led by pastor and
licensed grief counselor
Wes Baldwin. All of these
initiatives are intended to
affirm that life indeed must
go on and to help those left
behind to determine how.
In
addition,
Sarah
encourages everyone to
think ahead and to discuss
their wishes with their loved
ones. Funeral preplanning
relieves families of making
important financial decisions
at a time of great stress and
grief. In addition, Sarah
stresses that the ritual of a
funeral or memorial service
is really for the living, “when
friends and family can gather
together to grieve openly
and to provide support for
one another. It is the start of
the grief journey.”
We thank Sarah for her
support of the IACS and the
Italian community.

Randazzo Fresh Market & Fiat of Lakeside
Customer Wins $500 Shopping Spree
During the month of February,
Randazzo Fresh Market and
Fiat of Lakeside teamed up to
offer Randazzo shoppers the
chance to win a $500 shopping spree!
Fiat of Lakeside put a Fiat 500
inside the Randazzo store on
Garfield and one inside the
location on Hayes. This attracted much attention as it’s
not often you see a car inside
of a store.
Once customers got over the
shock of seeing a bright red
beautiful car inside Randazzo’s
and read the sign above the car,
they saw the simple instructions to enter the raffle. All
they had to do was take a form
from the cashiers at checkout
and go to Fiat of Lakeside and
test drive one of their cars.
What a great way to boost
excitement and the economy
with these two amazing Italian companies teaming up! A
winner was randomly selected
from those who entered the
contest on March 15, 2014.
L-R: Sonny Randazzo, Owner of Randazzo Fresh Market; Ed Rapin,
contest winner; Rick Foley, General Manager of Fiat of Lakeside.

Testo di Bruno Cherubini
Sbarca a Detroit l’azienda di Lissone che ha inventato le viti a testa
cava: accordo tra il presidente Gianantonio Brugola e il governatore
dello Stato del
Michigan
Stretta di mano tra
Giannantonio
Brugola
e
Richard
Snyder,
governatore del Michigan
(foto Fabrizio Radaelli)
Da Lissone a Detroit.
Entro il 2015 le Officine
Egidio Brugola (Oeb)
sono pronte a sbarcare
negli Stati Uniti e
ad aprire un nuovo
stabilimento a Detroit
per
la
produzione
delle viti che le hanno
rese famose nel mondo.
I
piani
dell’accordo
sono stati discussi ieri
mattina da Gianantonio
Brugola,
presidente
dell’azienda fondata dal
padre nel 1926, con il
governatore dello Stato del
Michigan, il repubblicano
Richard Snyder, in visita
all’azienda. Nessun rischio
però di delocalizzazione.
«L’azienda è nata a Lissone
- garantisce il presidente - e
non diminuirà la produzione
in Italia. Semplicemente
in un mondo globale ci
avviciniamo
ai
nostri
clienti, in particolar modo
a Ford che a Detroit metterà
in produzione 600 mila
motori “Dragon”».
È una nuova pagina che
si apre per l’azienda nata
nel 1926, quando Egidio
Brugola inventò le viti a
testa cava esagonale che
portano il suo nome. Da
allora le Officine Egidio
Brugola hanno avuto in via
Dante, nel cuore del centro
storico
della
capitale
del mobile, l’unico sito
produttivo che dà lavoro a
300 addetti. Passati due anni
di crisi tra il 2008 e il 2009,
con il ricorso anche alla
cassa integrazione, la Oeb
negli ultimi anni ha invece
registrato un’inversione di
tendenza con il fatturato
che è passato da 108
milioni di euro nel 2012 a
120 milioni lo scorso anno.
«Se le cose continueranno
ad andare così bene - ha
spiegato Egidio Brugola,
nipote del fondatore ed oggi
vicepresidente - contiamo
di aprire negli Stati Uniti
nel 2015 e di portare a
Detroit il nostro know how
, oltre al modello di azienda
che sarà simile a quella
italiana, ma più piccola.
Inizialmente contiamo di
assumere una quarantina di
addetti».

Inevitabile la scelta di
Detroit, capitale dell’auto,
per l’apertura del sito
produttivo: le viti brevettate
dalla Oeb e prodotte a
Lissone
finiscono
sui
motori delle principali case
automobilistiche. Del resto
basta dare un’occhiata alla
grande sala conferenze
della fabbrica per vedere
allineati come in un museo
motori Ford, Renault,
Jaguar, General Motors e
Volkswagen.
Ad attrarre gli imprenditori
stranieri
nello
Stato
nordamericano
c’è
anche una politica di
detassazione messa in atto
dal governatore Snyder,
eletto nel 2011. «Prima
di entrare in politica
ero commercialista - ha
scherzato - e forse questo
mi ha aiutato a sanare
un deficit da 1,5 milioni
di dollari. Dopo dieci
anni di recessione ora
siamo in grande ripresa
e sono fiducioso che
anche l’Europa e l’Italia
usciranno presto dalla
crisi. Oeb è un fornitore
strategico per le nostre
aziende e troverà nel nostro
Stato risorse preparate nel
campo
dell’automotive.
Abbiamo 375 centri di
ricerca, i quartieri generali
del 61% dei produttori
e fornitori delle aziende
automobilistiche. E tra
poco ci sarà anche Oeb».

aggiunto.
Africa e Venezuela.
“Sconfiggere la piaga della
fame, aggravata dai conflitti
e dagli immensi sprechi di
cui spesso siamo complici”è
l’auspicio di papa Francesco,
che cheide anche di “proteggere
gli indifesi, soprattutto i
bambini, le donne e gli
anziani, a volte fatti oggetto di
sfruttamento e di abbandono”.
Ma anche di “curare i fratelli
colpiti dall’epidemia di ebola
in Guinea Conakry, Sierra
Leone e Liberia, e quelli affetti
da tante altre malattie, che si
diffondono anche per l’incuria
e la povertà estrema”.
Poi l’appello per la pace: “Ti
preghiamo, Gesù glorioso,
fa’ cessare ogni guerra, ogni
ostilità grande o piccola,
antica o recente!”, ha invocato
Francesco. Oltre che per
gli scontri in Centrafrica, il
Papa ha fatto appello per la
Siria, chiedendo “l’audacia
di negoziare la pace”, e per
i negoziati tra Israeliani e
Palestinesi. “Ti supplichiamo,
in particolare, per la Siria,
la amata Siria - ha detto il
Pontefice -, perché quanti
soffrono le conseguenze del
conflitto possano ricevere i
necessari aiuti umanitari e
le parti in causa non usino
più la forza per seminare
morte, soprattutto contro
la popolazione inerme, ma
abbiano l’audacia di negoziare
la pace, ormai da troppo tempo
attesa!”. “Gesù glorioso, Ti
domandiamo di confortare le
vittime delle violenze fratricide
in Iraq - ha proseguito - e di
sostenere le speranze suscitate
dalla ripresa dei negoziati
tra Israeliani e Palestinesi”.
“Ti imploriamo che venga
posta fine agli scontri nella
Repubblica Centroafricana ha aggiunto - e che si fermino
gli efferati attentati terroristici
in alcune zone della Nigeria
e le violenze in Sud Sudan”.
“Per tutti i popoli della Terra
ti preghiamo, Signore: tu che
hai vinto la morte, donaci la
tua vita, donaci la tua pace!”.
Ma Bergoglio chiede anche
che siano “illuminate e ispirate
iniziative” di “pacificazione in
Ucraina, perché tutte le parti
interessate, sostenute dalla
Comunità
internazionale,
intraprendano ogni sforzo
per impedire la violenza e
costruire, in uno spirito di
unità e di dialogo, il futuro del
Paese”.
Al termine della benedizione
Urbi et Orbi gli auguri di
Pasqua sono stati pronunciati
dal Pontefice solo in
italiano, non più come con i
predecessori nelle decine di
lingue del mondo.”Rinnovo
il mio augurio di Buona
Pasqua a tutti voi giunti in
questa piazza da ogni parte del
mondo”, ha detto il Papa dalla
loggia centrale della basilica
vaticana. Infine il messaggio
anche su Twitter: “Cristo è

- forse l’arrivo
del mio prossimo
compleanno a cifra tonda, o
forse è stata una casualità, il
ritrovamento di una scatola
che racconto nel libro. Da
quei documenti, da quelle
foto che avevo dimenticato,
ne è scaturito un libro fatto
di ricordi, che spero possa
appassionare tutti’’.
‘Ieri, oggi, domani’ è il
ritratto di una donna che
ha segnato un’epoca, della
diva italiana più amata;
un flusso emozionante e
fitto di ricordi inediti che
il tempo non ha scalfito.
Come racconta l’autrice nel
prologo del libro, quando
narra del ritrovamento della
scatola: ‘’Dietro, in fondo
alla mensola, intravedo
una scatola di legno scuro.
La riconosco subito. È un
tuffo al cuore, che mi coglie
di sorpresa. Ecco cos’era
a chiamarmi - scrive la
Loren nel libro -, ecco il
filo rosso che guidava i miei
passi in questa magica sera
d’inverno. In un attimo, mi
scorrono davanti agli occhi
lettere, telegrammi, biglietti,
fotografie. Ho la tentazione
di lasciarla dov’è. Troppo
tempo è passato, troppe
emozioni. Poi la prendo,
mi faccio coraggio e torno
lentamente in camera. È il
mio baule dei segreti, che
racchiude la favola della
mia vita’’.
