In the mid 60's down to about a 25 year old made its way up from bank in Genoa. Coming from the province into a sort of staying in the guesthouse of the Mint. Among the fellow board was Ivan the burly, former Yugoslav apolito driven from his country for political reasons, Genoa chosen as between a board and the other as a sailor. The evening came down on a pre for a ride and was escorted from the bank Magretta Ivan and another partner's pension Ferrara, pretending to joke that he was a cop, so the bank was being pre commissi ... time later when he went to cover the agency to place the residents of the neighborhood via Gramsci was revealed his true identity: " commissi , which makes us behind the counter of the bank?" .
Anyway I digress, because what interests me is that Ivan had left their parents in Croatia and no longer having given or received news about the family expresses a desire to find them and maybe help in some way .. so ask the bank to run out of ideas on how to spend the holidays, going on a mission to look for him. He curious part: train, train, bus, bus, cart with a horse and arrives at its destination in a fraction of a Croatian fishing village (which soon after became popular seaside tourist destination for foreigners). Attempts to communicate a mixture of languages, Italian, German, English, some phrases in Latin prepared before leaving. Ivan's parents do not meet them, were dispatched to the border with Hungary, then the child will succeed in getting it in Italy.
My father, the banker, who knows the country has seen, Croatia in the mid-60 .. year in which each country had to offer atmosphere and social situations are difficult to find now, even going into developing countries or post strictest regimes. Then a little later the trend will continue exploratory touring Europe, especially Eastern Europe, 500 with a friend during the holidays and also those trips go out every now and curious anecdotes. These tales
heartened me a little because there are times when, perhaps in a fit of self-analysis, I wonder if my desire for new experiences, not Pre-packaged and protected is only a reaction to education and the environment a bit 'flat perbenino where I grew up or if you really want these later emerged there had always been hidden. Certain that the result of my drive is still fun and interesting, but realize that responds to my attitude of openness and curiosity inherited, is a thought which I like.
