I don’t live with my parents anymore, because I’m married and I live in New York now. My mum and dad live in Rome and my husband’s parents live in Montreal, Canada. We are a little sad because we don’t see them a lot, but when we get together we have a wonderful time. One of my sisters lives in Rio, Brazil, and the other one, who is 16, still lives at home, in Rome. My husband has only one brother. He still lives with his parents, in Montreal. Next year he wants to go to Paris to study European history. We got married in Rome one year ago. All my family and his family were at the wedding. We had a fantastic time, and our honeymoon in Venice was beautiful. We would like to have a son and a daughter. We hope they’ll have a great life, maybe in America, maybe in Africa or Asia or Europe.
