A collection of letters, reflections, and lessons written for my children.

Summer of ’26

Kids!

It is August. We are back in Italy to get close to our family and our roots.

Family and Roots.

These are things that define us.

But more than a limit of what we can do, they provide us a compass and a white canvas.

It is up to you to decide if you want to follow that route and what colours to use when you are working on the masterpiece of your life.

Being born in Europe for you means that you are exposed to an incredible concentration of beauty – from art, architecture, fashion, and food… everything that surround you speaks of taste and deliberate intention – but also to a disorganized chaos that you need to learn to navigate in your life. It can be a curse, because it is complicated to finalise any project, but also a daily gym, that help you to train your muscles of adaptation and to use your lateral thinking to find alternative solutions and always have a plan b ready.

Appreciate what you have. Store it, protect it, and keep it with you.

Then look at what other people have and how they act when they face problems and complex situations. They come from different backgrounds and have different experiences, and that’s made them act in a different way.

So don’t be surprised when things go in unexpected directions. because there is no right or wrong, just different. And this is where you can really learn from other people’s experiences.

But be kind with them. And be kind with you.

Like Tea always said, kindness is one of the greatest values!

I love you. Keep working on your own masterpiece!
