20. Hi!
My name is Domenico and live in Campobasso. I don’t like school much,
it is not for me. I play in the school orchestra "L. Montini", a ‘great’
orchestra that started in 1996. I love music and I can play the guitar, the
accordion and the piano. In the orchestra when I play the accordion I am
cheered.
I like to repair engines and I like electronics very much. I build houses in
scale, with lights, garages and sometimes even the elevators. I am always
in the garage to make new things. School is always the last of my
thoughts.
The country is another passion. I live in the open country and I am happy
because when I wake up in the morning I breathe the fresh clean air. In
summer I help my grandparents to harvest wheat and take it to the mill to
have ground flour.
That’s all for now. Bye,
Domenico
