The Italian sunshine
Nov 3 · 3 min read

People enrich.
Their characters, actions, words add something new to our own lives. We often pass by people, don’t even realizing what is the treasure they can be. And fortunately I came up with this idea earlier and could explore different characters during theweek in Italy. These ‘sunshines’ made my trip completely unforggetable.
- Laura — an inconspicuous girl , who literally didn’t show any signs of life, being in Irkutsk. Her participation in exchange-program was surprise for me, because I didn’t have any remembrance of her. You can say, that our acquaintance happened five months after our first meeting. It occured when Laura accomponied alone a group of Russians,walkning around the town at night. She sacrificed her own interests to help us memorize this week. Further I noticed her boundless kindness, care and stupendous altruism more. Even though Laura has a bit of a temper, nevertheless she is worthy of respect and gratitude. Once got to her favorites, you may be sure in everlasting defense and support. I recall with warm feelings our ascent of Terminillo and evening in Laura’s house. She not only allowed me to join them, but also dressed me. And after this little adventure she gave us tea and ‘i biscotti’. Laura really likes to make people happy. She doesn’t consider bringing desserts to party or regale with something made in her bakery as contemptible things to do. Laura has a golden heart (as we say in Russia), it’s impossible not to appreciate it.
- Kate experienced firsthand Laura’s hospitality and kidness, as she was living with her. I regret that we didn’t contact in Russia, I’ve lost a lot. Insanely beautiful girl also appeared as a very many-sided and thoughtful. We’ve found a lot of in common. This week I discovered person, who reasons and worries about the same things as me. There was not enough communicaion like this during the May-week in Irkutsk. Sincere and homelike. I won’t forget her cute smile, that could be replaced by sadness in her eyes. It made me willing to protect her, gift some happiness. I was imbuded with Kate, we got closed to eacg other and I’m really grateful for it. Days that we spent toghether were remembered for this particular atmosphere, like sitting near the fireplace at home.
- Davide is a person who brightened up my trip and didn’t give opportunity to get bored. I won’t stop admiring how wide his knowledge is and how professionally he can calm down. Davide knows everything else himself, so I’ll continue.
- Bambini are wonderful creatures, who won my favor in the first meeting. I’m truly grateful for all those efforts they made to establish our communication. We found common ground, even though we didn’t understand each other verbally. When we were watching film toghether, I felt organically, like the forth children in the family.I will remember Ludo as the most beautiful girl in Italy, double of Kaya Scodelario (I’ll be always your fan!). I will be missing morning: “ — Ciao, bambini! — Ciao, Sophie!”. When I recall Jimmy’s phrase: “We are sad, because you are going… back home”, unwittingly tears fill my eyes. I’m so sorry that I forgot to say goodbye and hug you before the flight. So at least now: “ — Ciao, bambini! Vi amo!”
These people opened their hearts for me. They left the best impressions abouth themselves, which, I hope, will be in memory for long. You, guys, are ‘sinshines’ of my trip, grazie di cuore❤.
