Their two sons (now grown up, Beppe and Matteo) are still a great source of joy. I have spent my day with them today. They simply radiate joy. And their house, believe me, is an expanse of art. You can see it from every angle. Charity is an hallmark for them. The other couple is Luciano and Patrizia. Here is evident in talking, in eating, in arranging. Waoh!
