My niece, Roberta, the second daughter of my sister, leaves to go to the University in Florence. 30 years have passed from when I have departed for studying in Florence.

Yesterday, 22 September, we celebrated my father's 80th birthday.

We celebrated his birthday in the restaurant of my brother (agriturismo Silvana Mansio).
My father lives together with Halina, his Polish companion, joining us yesterday was the daughter of Halina, Ursula, who lives in Verona.

At the party were the three children (Pasquale, Francis and Filomena) with the respective families,
there was besides the brother of my father (Luigi Lopetrone with his/her/their wife Maria) and also his/her niece Filomena with her husband and his/her daughter. In total we were 21 people. .
My mother was very missed! She died 10 years ago and we've missed her since.
.
My father has been happy of the party that we have organized. To end evening we have also turned on 80 fires of artifice to close the beautiful evening in joy.
.
I send you two representative photos of this particular moment
