Dear friends,
at last I have a little time to write!
Well, my new Italian friend is Ginevra Bianco. I've been with her since Saturday morning when my friend Francesco took me to school. At the end of the lessons I hugged Francesco and went home with Ginevra. Her house is very large and cosy. I met her family: her mother Anna, her father Gianluca and her beautiful sister Marta. At lunch we ate a typical dish of Puglia, "rice potatoes and mussels". Really yummy! In the afternoon, I studied a bit of Italian and then Ginevra asked me to go to the hairdresser's with her. Everybody there was curious about me and made me many questions.
In the evening I went out with her, Sofia and other fantastic friends. It was very funny. We also visited "Piazza Commestibili", an important square located in the towncentre of Mesagne.
On Sunday morning Ginevra and I went to the Mass. There are many churches in Mesagne.
Ginevra is a member of "Mater Domini" parish. At lunch time Ginevra's family, her paternal grandparents Antonio and Angela, and I we went eating to a restaurant located on the outskirts of Mesagne. In the afternoon, Ginevra and her family took me to visit the "Norman Swabian" castle of Mesagne.
The castle dates back to the XI century and it is certainly the most representative monument of the city. It was built as a "fortified fortress", but nowadays it is a museum. On Monday morning, unfortunately, Ginevra and I had to separate because she had to go to school, but lukely at lunchtime we met again.
In the afternoon I helped Ginevra to study literature because the next day she had the written test on "Dante" and the "Divina Commedia".
This evening I tasted for the first time "pizza margherita", that is a kind of focaccia topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Now it's late. It's time to sleep in my soft and warm bed. I promise I'll write to you soon.
love,
Odysseas
