||
| I'd like to tell readers this wonderful present story come true in San Pietro in Amantea, a | ||
|
South Italy’s small village. .... |
||
| In the late evening of a day before past Christmas, a French-American girl – Alexandra 22 is | ||
| her imaginary name – knocked old main door of an ancient mansion in that village. | ||
| There an elderly woman lives with her middle-aged son - whose imaginary name is Albino – | ||
| obliged on wheel-chair by a cerebral lesion owing to an ictus occurred to him in Paris in the | ||
| eighties. | ||
| ........ | ||
| Alexandra was born in Paris from a passionate love of a blonde Los Angeles future top-model | ||
| and Albino then living in France. | ||
| ........ | ||
| Alexandra’s not married parents were already separated, when Albino was taken ill and | ||
| compelled to come back in Italy and lead a semi-vegetative life. | ||
| When in the middle of the nineties mother and daughter left France to US, Alexandra took with | ||
| her only a vague recollection of that tall brown man and some memories of their happy | ||
| afternoon walks along the Seine. | ||
| ........ | ||
| Alexandra never ceased looking for him, before asking mother – but she herself had no news | ||
| since he fall ill – then going in quest by all means, without finding him. | ||
| In the end, tired of waiting, she left for Paris, where she has a childhood girl-friend, with | ||
| whom she looked for the places with her father she had gone to. After meticulous inquires of | ||
| long duration, a female-owner of a Neapolitan-pizza, near Pont de l’Alma, where Albino | ||
| worked, gave her his address in South Italy. | ||
| ........ | ||
| Grand-mother had a dream and waited for Alexandra to arrive sooner or later from | ||
| somewhere. When they embraced each other tenderly, they felt to be in a transport of delight | ||
| and want to share love of that unfortunate and marvellous man. .... | ||
