Today I live in London, a big city. But I didn’t live in a big city when I was a small boy. I didn’t live in England. I lived in a small village in Italy. My favourite person then was my Aunt Mina. She was very interesting. She was a scientist and she travelled the world. Every summer she visited us in our small village. We listened to her stories for hours.

Her home was in Milan, another big city in Italy. One year we visited my aunt there in her beautiful house. Her living room was full of interesting things from around the world. There were beautiful paintings on the walls. There were lots of rooms in my aunt’s house, but the doors were closed. Do you want to see this room?’ she asked me. There’s something wonderful in here.’

She opened the door to a dark room. Then she opened the curtains and let the sun in. In the room there was a beautiful, big black piano. Do you want to hear it?’ asked my aunt. Yes, please.’ I said. She started playing and I listened. My life changed in that room with my aunt. I walked back to the living room and said to my mum, ‘Mum. Can I learn the piano?’
