I ricordi di Firenze 

Mario e Lucia vivono ormai da cinque anni a Bologna.  Si sono conosciuti a Firenze quando tutti e due studiavano lì all’università. A Mario piacevano le opere d’arte al museo degli Uffizi e a Lucia invece piaceva passeggiare con gli amici a piazza della Signoria e sul Ponte Vecchio. Dopo la laurea in storia dell’arte, Mario ha trovato lavoro a Bologna in un museo di arte moderna; invece Lucia, che studiava lingue, ha trovato lavoro come insegnante di inglese alle scuole superiori. Mario dice che vorrebbe tornare a vivere a Firenze però anche a Bologna si trova molto bene. Anche a Lucia piacerebbe molto tornare a Firenze, però soltanto per fare una vacanza. Da casa di Mario a casa di Lucia ci vogliono 20 minuti con l’autobus e un quarto d’ora con l’auto. Mario e Lucia hanno deciso che a Giugno cambieranno casa e andranno a vivere in un appartamento più grande. Infatti adesso aspettano un bambino che nascerà a Luglio. Il ricordo più forte che ha Lucia di Firenze è il giorno in cui si è laureata e i suoi genitori e la sua famiglia sono venuti da Lecce per partecipare alla cerimonia di laurea. Racconta che si è così tanto emozionata che le sono uscite anche alcune lacrime. 


museo degli Uffizi = museo celebre di Firenze
piazza della Signoria = piazza famosa di Firenze
