The Italian Voice

There are places which you can not forget.

For me one of those places is one which I could not imagine to remember and miss: the building of my high school.

I have always lived in a small town in province of Bologna, called Medicina; when I started to attend the high school, I had to decide between the one in Bologna and the one in Lugo, in province of Ravenna.
I chose the second one because I was too young to walk alone along the streets of a big city. I chose the second one because my friends decided for it too. I chose the second one because everybody told that it was great for a nice career.
Onword I realized that I chose the wrong one, because it was not the right school for my own dreams, but I always remember those years like some of the most beautiful ones of my young life.

So I ended up attending the high school for accountants in Lugo, after the meeting of the pre-enrolment for students at the junior high school.

I must say that, if I was asked to decide just after the first glimpse, I would never have chose that one.
The building impressed me, but surely not for its outer face: the walls were azure-blue and pink !!
I could imagine everything but missing that high school, but hey..it is the truth and also because if its walls!

You have to know that the building was entitled to Mr Giuseppe Compagnoni, I had never known nothing about this man until that moment, but I quickly discovered that he suggested the adoption of the Italian flag as national Italian flag on January 7th, 1797.
It is very cool, do not you think?

Mr Giuseppe Compagnoni

Since that moment, I appreciated that high school ever more.

Now at the least, after my long preamble, are you curious enough to have a look at a small picture of the odd building where I spent five years of my life studying, waiting for a better one which I will take soon just on-the-spot?
Enjoy and leave your unmerciful comments, hihihi!
