As I mentioned in my Google+ profile some time ago, I would like to
write about something that happened to me on the 26th of July.
On that morning, I was on Facebook when I noticed a
post in a page I follow which recounted the story of a historical shop in Milan, the oldest one,
which might close after 248 years of business –sad, but true.In this post, it was said that it was possible to go and sign a petition to help this shop not to disappear: the shop could be considered as a heritage of our culture, so it could become a historical place. There is also the online petition, but I was in Milan so I decided to go and visit the shop.
It
was like to go back in the past, because I think that the shop is exactly how
it could have looked like centuries ago. I think that it represents the
tradition and the importance of not forgetting the path which lead us where we
are today. It is like a door which shows another side of the present, a
different reality, original and unique.
If you are in Milan, look for this beautiful shop, with its special atmosphere and the kind clerks who try to keep this place as amazing as it has always been (and, if you can't, sign the petition!)

Bye for now
Yours, Silvia
