Mind your words! Is a apsule of thoughts, ruminations, meditations… by Paola De Pillo
I became Abruzzese at thirteen. When my parents told me we were leaving the Piedmont region, I thought the world had turned upside down, don’t you usually emigrate from south to north? And who had ever heard of Abruzzi region anyway???

I remember consulting the geography book with some apprehension. “As a border with the Adriatic Sea, the Marche, Lazio and Molise regions”. Molise??? I only read it once and then it disappeared from the map … surely an hallucination due to anxiety.
The fact is that my future was shaping up as towards a black hole. I was about to be swallowed up by the twilight zone”
To be continued…
