LUCA

By Manuela | July 23, 2019 | InBlog

To my great sadness, my brother Luca passed away the other day. He was the most wonderful, generous and creative person. We were very close and I will miss him terribly. Here Luca is painting in his studio in Viterbo days before his death.

We decided to have a big get together with my brother and sisters, nieces and nephews to celebrate Luca’s life.
It was a beautiful day in Zürich and everybody brought a dish. The table was overfilled with the most delicious plates.

It was difficult  to get all the dishes in the picture!

It was a very beautiful day, so sad  but with lots of amazing memories.
