LIC #1 - Introduction

وُلِدْتُ فِي مِيلاَن وَلَكِنْ لاَ أَتَذَكَّر البَيْت لِأَنَّنا رَحَلْنَا إِلَى كَانَازِي. كُنَّا نَسْكُن فِي بِنَايَة لَهَا سِتَّة طَوَابِق.
كُنَّا نَسْكُن في شَقَّة, الشَّقَّة كَانت فِي الطَّابِق الثَّالِث. الْبِنَايَة كَانَت فِي شارِع خَاصّ فِي قَرْيَة صَغِيرَة فِي الْجِبَال.  
الشَّقَّة كَانَ لَهَا ثَلاَث غُرَف وَحَمَّامَان. وَفِي كُلّ غُرْفَة النَّوم هُنَاك مَكان لِأَرْبَع أَشْخَاص, كُلَّ غُرْفَة النَّوم كَانَ لَها طَابِقَان مِثْلَ دُوبْلِكْس.
الدِيكُور كَان تَقْلِيدِي لِلْمِنْطَقَة الشَّمَالِيَّة الْجِبالِيَّة الإِيطَالِيَّة وَالألْمَانِيَّة. 
أَحْبَبْتُ الْمِنْطَقَة وَالشَّقَّة لِأَنَّهَا مُرِيحَة وَدَافِئَة. 
الْمِنْطَقَة مَشْهُورَة بِالتَّزَلُّج فِي الشِّتَاء وَالمَشْي عَلَى الْجِبال. هِيَ مِنْطَقَة مَلِيئَة بِالطَّبِيعَة مِثْلَ الْجِبَال وَالغَابَات.
ذِكْرَياتِي الْمُفَضَّلَة هِي التَّجَوُّل في الرِّيف خِلاَل الصَّيف مَع وَالِدَيّ.
كُنْتُ أَعْمَل فِي مَزْرَعَة خُيُول, وَكَانَ عُمْرِي إِثْنَا عَشَر سَنَة وَ كُنُتُ أُحِبُّ رُكُوب الْخَيْل.
الْقَرْيَة مَشْهُورَة بِالرِّيَاضَة المَوْسُمِيَّة 
أَظُنُّ أَنَّ أَكْبَر مُشْكِلَة هِيَّ أَنَّ الْجِبَال وَالْغَابَات مُتَأَثِّرَة بِالاِحْتِرَار الْعَالَمِي 
وَليس هناك حَلّ لِهَذِهِ الْمُشْكِلَة
