In November you met Maria Sofia, studying Arabic and giving a helping hand in Palestine. In December, Emanuele, living in Milan and working as a software developer. After them, the first of my former students I want to introduce you in 2016 is Edoardo , Edo, with his lovely girlfriend, Federica, aka Kika. They live in Salento, Contrada Lusci is their place and a lifestyle, about which they write on their blog. They are a special couple and I'm glad to share their story with you all.
It is a story of love, peace, beauty, respect for nature and every living being, hope and incredible adventures.
Edoardo was one of my students, he left school
eleven years ago and he is a young man in his thirties now. I met him again a
couple of months ago because he and his lovely partner, Federica, presented a very
original project, a book + CD, here in
my town and I was invited to the event by friends and colleagues.

Obviously teenagers change once they turn into
men and women but what surprised me most meeting Edoardo again was how totally different
his posture, attitude, smile, speaking voice and look were. He looked and
sounded relaxed, calm, focused and imperturbable. His eyes and his smile were warming,
welcoming, peaceful. Well, actually, both Kika and Edo are the
embodiment of the word “peaceful” and both have a special smiling light in their eyes which speaks volumes of their inner world.
