Our first guest has finally arrived: Tommaso!!! He is a wonderfully charming boy – gorgeous, endlessly curious, full of enthusiasm and with an immense gift for connecting with people. He has left something truly precious in all of us. We are so happy that Tommaso accepted our association’s invitation to visit the city.
Venice has a humanistic tradition of solidarity that we at “Anima” want to carry on. We are sure that Tommaso spent a special and meaningful day, just as we are sure that we received more from him than we gave. Thank you to Dr Pizzato, to Asia, Tommaso’s little sister, and to his wonderful parents. Thank you also to little Virginia, who with her smile and her presence
gave our guests a touch of unrivalled charm.
Once again we thank everyone who made all this possible, starting with our president, Stefano Gorghetto Pavan, who brought so many people together and made this day so important for little Tommaso.
