The "job" ... as many have hoped for in life? How many if they had they would never have left Italy a few years ago? Antonio, Toto for friends, and Calabria (Tropea), has 58 years, and the permanent job after 22 years of work, he left in '98 to follow his wife in Vienna.
After a lifetime of sacrifice ( "I was studying in Messina, but I lived in Milan where I was a postman and traveling out of role for the exams to be independent from my parents, too if they were economically well ") and travels to various Italian cities (lived in Milan, Trieste, Udine), he left everything and changed lives.
In Austria he worked in theaters, museums and four years working at the Konzerthaus Vienna "where", he says, "I have written three books and two unpublished novels."
Antonio has decided to return to Italy, but "children are almost Viennese and it is difficult given that over time the relationship with the family of origin are lost and helpless, in Italy, riambientarsi hard ... plus our mentality has changed so that a replacement is problematic. "
Who wants to walk away from Italy should "have courage (if you do not have a stable job where they live) and decide to change your life is not dying vegetation where, waiting for Godot ... "
Thanks Antonio!
