Hi, I’m Maria Valeria and I was born in Russia, precisely in Volgograd, which is one of the coldest city in that country. I don’t rememeber anything of that city because I lived in Russia only for less than two years, in an orphanage, then I have been adopted by a couple from Italy: I consider them as my real mom and dad since I don’t know who are my biological parents. Now I live in Italy, in a city called Modena, that is located in central Italy, a region called “Emilia Romagna”. Modena is a big city, you can find almost everything you need here: supermarkets, pharmacy, parks... Even though I’m trying to say something interesting about my hometown but actually I think that Modena is just as good as every other average city in Italy.
