It’s been four years now since I’ve had that beautiful house, isolated from everyone, in its silence and tranquility. I have to be honest… I miss it a little, actually, not a little, I miss it a lot.
I was really fond of it, I was born there, I grew up there, I built my life there. Inside those four yellow walls I built Davide, I built the person I am now. It’s incredible how much a “trivial” thing can make a difference in life.
The difference can be made by a book, a friend, your mother or father. Of course, obviously they also helped me grow, but I think she put a part into it. It’s when you have a big thing that everyone wants that you learn to take care of it. Over time you learn to understand its value, not only economic but also emotional. It may seem banal but it’s like taking care of someone, a house really means taking care of them and that’s what I did in mine. I built my side of the bedroom based on my tastes, I maintained it over time and I changed the layouts according to my needs and my growth. Over time I built a desk because the studio required it and I also modified some characteristic posters that I used to hang on that piece of wall, which I considered untouchable except by me.
All my passions, my photos, my arguments, in short everything, has passed on that wall. He really saw every side of me. I found myself talking to photos, that was the moment when I studied myself and tried to really understand who I was and who I wanted to become.
Now that house is no longer there, reluctantly I am forced to leave it and say goodbye to an era or what are called the golden times.
I still remember when one birthday I invited all my friends, there were so many of us and we didn’t seem to fit in that house which was truly gigantic, we were everywhere, in every room even in the bathroom in the tavern. These are moments that should not be regretted, I remembered with sadness, but they should be looked at with pride and happiness knowing that they were part of my training process into a boy who will be a future man.
