In March, 2011 I had the chance to visit our Comenius partners in Italy. It was the first time I had been to Italy. I had never flown by airplane before so I was really scared of the airflight. But the journey was smooth in clear weather. We landed in Naples then we took the train to get to Vietri di Potenza.
When we arrived in Vietri some friends were waiting for us and took us to the school. Here we were received by our Italian friends with a fascinating programme. Students of the school showed some music and dance performances and we were received by the headmaster and the mayor as well. During these few days we had the opportunity to visit Basilicata region to see Matera, the remains of a Greek temple, a monastry, the nearby villages, Metaponto. For me Matera was the most brilliant sight to see during that week. And of course the schools of Vietri and Savoia welcomed us. The students and the teachers of both schools did their best to make our staying useful, memorable and interesting. Even the smallest children performed a cute tale and sang beautiful songs for us. We could taste the traditional meals of Italy, and its pasta! I love it! The last day we were at the mayor’s residence and spent a nice evening together in a restaurant.
During that week we could feel the harmony of these four cultures. We talked a lot, exhanged our opinions and went through a lot of memorable experiences together. I hope we can continue this relationship in the future as well.
