sulla mia famiglia.

about my family*

I am staying with my mam and dad for a few days. they are rearranging my grandma's house and they have found some precious letters and photographs that I had never seen before.

• nonna worked in different hotels: when she was young she worked in switzerland, that is why she was studying german.

• I didn't know my dad played the saxophone and I don't have many memories about my grandfather, since he died when I was so young - but I know he loved animals.

♡ these are the prettiest passport photos ever of my grandma ebe: she is just so beautiful, with or without make-up.

• most of these polaroids were taken by my dad: I was so happy when I found them because you can see my grandma's garden so well. the garden was so beautiful. and I love her riding her bike. it was summer 1968, but my grandma looked the same until she got ill, almost fifteen years ago.

• these two look like they could be the most recent ones. I love my dad's yellow shirt, and the decorations of the garden: they were the same for so many years, as I recall.

I am going to add these photos to my family photo album and treasure them forever. I believe my grandma's spirit still lives next to the roses of her garden, and that's what makes them so special.
