Lumaki sa siyudad nang Maynila na kung san ako pinaganak ay napaka ganda at mapayapa. Ako at mga kapatid ko ay nakakapaglaro sa kalsada na walang ano man masamang nanyayari. Ang mga magulang ko ay hindi man nagagamba at alam na kami ay nasa mabuting kalagayan. Ang Pilipinas ay nakaranas pa lang nang digmaan at napa ilalim sa mga kamay nang malupi na pamamalakad nang Hapon. Parang bagong paganak palang ang Pilipinas, punong puno nang pag asa at gustong maging bahagi sa pag unlad nang bayan. →
[GTranslate]TORONTO – Integrating people of diverse backgrounds is neither easy nor quickly accomplished. Corriere Canadese and the Italian diaspora are no strangers to that process. It is generational, to say the least. Perhaps that explains why Corriere received a copy of a letter purportedly issued by the High Commission of India (Embassy) in Ottawa to Global Affairs Canada, addressed to Director General for South Asia, David Hartman.
The letter dated March 2, 2021, and referenced below, draws attention to an escalating rift between Hindus and other unnamed Indian nationals in Brampton, Ontario. Couched in the niceties of diplomatic language is a concern that Hindus are being targeted for violence and that the perpetrators may be aided by local law enforcement officials.

[GTranslate]PIETRASANTA – His roots lie in the land of artists, where the mountains are made of marble and the plain is full of sculpture workshops: Pietrasanta, the Tuscan town that also hosted Michelangelo Buonarroti. Marcello Giorgi was born there, 59 years ago. But like any great artist, he is a citizen of the world. And so he lives in Montreal, his works are scattered throughout North America (and beyond) and it is there that today he transmits his knowledge to others, especially young people, teaching in schools and holding art courses. →
