Let's take a moment to remember how the desire to emigrate was born in our family. When the war ended, Papa Arduino returned home and was 29 years old, his wife had three children. Without a job, like most men, every morning he went to the doors of factories and companies to find his daily work. It was in use in those times, where there was a lot to rebuild, although one was willing to do every type of job that came along, it was difficult because the competition was a lot. Imagine dad's job as a painter restorer, impossible! The days without work
