Death of Pera, my dog that has been my friend since I was 5 years old, accompanied me when I was leaving Serbia. Seeing him dying, and feeling unable to help him, remembered me on the exact same situation I was in when my grandfather was lying in hospital. Speechless, they both had the same deep look in their eyes that was aiming and leaving me, for a moment long as eternity, in a space whithout a sound…
I was traveling alone, by train almost older than United States of America. The conductor of the train was really nice so often I had nice conversations with him and the woman (in the picture) refugee from Croatia (that was in the same coupe where I was).
Finally, I arrived in Venice from where I took the train for Brescia where two wonderful people waited for me. Luca Congedo and Natalia Vecchia.
From our first meeting, I could feel from Luca’s smile and Natalia’s deep look in her eyes that I will be having one of the most precious experiences in my life. Natalia and Luca are those people for who you have a feeling that you’ve been knowing them for your whole life.
For sure, the time I spent in Italy, thanks to Nati and Luca, has been one of the most beautiful experience in my life. I have to admit that I didn’t expect that it is going to be like that. The exhibition was held in Galleria Dellearti in Cremona (watch a video clip). Natalia was the gallerist, the “dragon girl” whose energy made the exhibition alive and Luca’s flute spread the magic.
I have met so many people and have had wonderful and interesting conversations. Everything was fabulous!
But what have become unseparatable part of my heart are those two people, Natalia and Luca. They gave me something which I have never had before.
Thank you Natalia, thank you Luca.
You know that I miss you so much…
