My aunt Rita is more present than ever. Her wisdom, the result of a life of study and endless curiosity, and her humility, made her a woman from another world. For me, she represents the most correct, loyal and incorruptible citizen of our globalized planet. A person with whom all of us could ALWAYS count on. As a teacher, as a friend, as a mother, as a sister, as my aunt, as THE grandmother she proudly was, she was ready to help in any matter: health, personal or professional issues, she was skillful to give the best advise. She also represents a mixture of cultures: the culture of work and efficientcy, the culture of kindness, tolerance and compassion for other cultures, the culture of finding out about our roots and about our identities, and for me, the most important of all, the culture of appreciate our family. As her son Federico said, she is, and she will allways be our moral compass.
