A postcard from Bologna
by Alessio · teacher of Italian as a foreign language, ITALS master’s
A handwritten postcard: the present tense is highlighted.
Cara mamma,
sto bene. La mattina studio italiano e il pomeriggio cammino sotto i portici: sono sessantadue chilometri, dicono.
La sera mangio in una piccola trattoria. Parlo poco, ma capisco quasi tutto. La signora del bar mi chiama «cara».
Domani parto per Firenze. Ti chiamo quando arrivo.
Un bacio, Sanne
