Beschreibung

The book "GRANDFATHER LIAM A CASA AZZURRA" opens to the reader a world very close to American, Italian and civilized families, namely the one relating to Rest Homes for so-called SELF-SUFFICIENT people, but who often use a walking trolley to move around. There are aspects of daily life, friendships and relationships between them and with the Sisters who manage Casa Azzurra, as well as with doctors, civil workers and their families. In fact, the latter with their affection and their visits are fundamental for their physical and mental health, on a par with medical therapies and good material, physical and spiritual assistance. It reflects the American, Italian and other nations of the world society because the people hosted are mostly women, who live longer than men, but foreigners such as NONNO LIAM are also starting to be present, a sign that Italian society is increasingly international and multiracial.

Chapter 1. Arrival of Grandpa LIAM at Casa Azzurra

My ten-year-old nephew Alex, one day when he came to Marina di Pisa to visit me, together with my son Franco, at the Casa Azzurra RSA for self-sufficient people, met Grandpa LIAM who, as soon as he saw him, hugged and kissed him as if he were his favorite grandson, a male grandson that he never had, and Alex was surprised by such warmth and enthusiasm and said to me: "Grandpa, why don't you write a book about his American grandfather LIAM, who, in addition to being your friend, seems to me a person still young and enthusiastic about life, who hugged and kissed me as if I were his grandson, just like you do.

The appreciation of my nephew Alex, who has just turned ten, towards grandfather LIAM moved me and at the same time made me happy because it was as spontaneous as the gestures of affection he received from him and therefore to make him happy and to to introduce grandfather LIAM to readers all over the world, I decided to write this book.

THE wish expressed by a ten-year-old made me reflect and in addition to reasons of friendship that bind me to LIAM, with whom I also shared a much more difficult period as a guest with me at Casa Verderio, in the Healthcare Residence for people Non Self-sufficient, I decided to write the book also for pedagogical, social reasons, testimony and to deal with a theme that is very present in today's society, made up of many grandparents, who live this reality of the "so-called" Self-sufficient retirement homes for the elderly in which There are also many foreigners from various parts of the world who have lived in Italy because they married an Italian woman or man and have lived their whole life in Italy and who have appreciated the climate, the beauty and the artistic charm of the cities. , the warmth and humanity of the people, the cuisine and the sun. An aspect that unites us all people of the third and fourth age who live in retirement homes is the importance of the closeness and affection of family members which is an aspect primary for our health, and is equal to good material, health and spiritual assistance.

It was the end of July and I had already moved to Casa Azzurra, a residence for self-sufficient people, even though many use a walking cart to get around, located on the seaside of Marina di Pisa which my son Franco had found for me together with my new Enrica . It was a hot summer late afternoon at the end of July and suddenly I saw LIAM arrive, together with his daughter Emma, who following my advice was also moving to Casa Azzurra, coming from the Casa Verderio Healthcare Residence for Non Self-sufficient people where he was remained a guest for almost One year, recovering good physical shape and returning to walking, albeit with the help of a walking trolley, after serious surgery on both legs with the insertion of titanium prostheses, with the help of Doctor Verderio, geriatrician and owner of the retirement home . Upon his arrival LIAM found himself in front of an imposing structure, approximately one hundred meters long and fifty meters wide, consisting of three floors in the rear part and two floors plus a basement in the front part overlooking the sea, with two large terraces on the sides, of one equipped with a sliding awning to shelter from the sun during the day, with a large garden in the rear also equipped with a car parking area and which allowed entry to people equipped like him with a walking trolley to move around or the entrance of ambulances and their bed trolleys for medical aid.

So LIAM gave me a nice surprise, because he hadn't told me anything about his arrival date, and after greetings and hugs he, with his walking trolley, accompanied by his daughter Emma entered the structure together with his luggage, brought inside by an operator from Casa Azzurra, and together they went to the office on the first floor of the director Sister Pensa, who received them with a warm and human welcome as only she can express. Having completed the formalities related to the transfer and the required documents, Sister Pensa accompanied LIAM and her daughter Emma to the assigned sea view room located on the second floor of the structure, and both, father and daughter, were enchanted to see the show, that presented themselves to their eyes, a blue and beautiful sea with a sun on the horizon that did not yet want to set. His daughter Emma, after having arranged the clothes in the wardrobe and the other clothing in the available drawers, said goodbye to her father with some emotion and returned home to Florence. So LIAM began his new life at Casa Azzurra and after freshening up a bit in the bathroom of his room, he had to go down to the ground floor to reach the dining room for dinner at 7 and thirty pm and put the trolley away. in the corridor he entered the room accompanied by me and sat in his place at the table with me. The superior Sister Pensa herself rang a bell and after reciting a short prayer together with all the guests, she introduced a trolley with stainless steel trays containing minestrone into the room and together with two

other nuns distributed it to all the guests. diners, then he collected the used plates, returning a few minutes later with trays containing mozzarella, tomatoes and salad. She distributed the second course and the side dishes to all the many grandmothers and grandfathers, and after collecting the used plates she returned with the trolley bringing the fruit consisting of cooked plums, contained in glass trays and which she distributed to all the guests, finished to eat the fruit grandfather LIAM left the room and together we left the structure from the back gate and reached the seafront we took a beautiful walk, at the end of which we returned together to Casa Azzurra, where everyone reached their room to enjoy the deserved rest, after brushing your teeth, with subsequent rinsing with mouthwash and wearing summer pajamas. Thus concluded grandfather LIAM's first intense day at Casa Azzurra, on the seaside of Marina di Pisa.
