Mio nonno era un ciliegio
by Nanetti Angela
\’When I was four, I had four grandparents, two in the city and two in the countryside…\’
This is how this book begins which talks about an extraordinary grandfather and a cherry tree, the goose Alfonsina and her husband Oreste, the grandmother Teodolinda and her soft \’things\’; and a child, who does not forget the \’crazy\’ grandfather who climbed the trees and who made him happy many times.
A cherry tree, a child and his grandfather are the main characters of the story. The cherry tree was planted by the grandfather when his daughter (the child’s mother) was born. The cherry tree is the core of the story: all the events and feeling develop from it. It is the child’s playmate, a place for adventures, a symbol of life continuity. Yet the most important character of the story is the grandfather, with his vitality, his sense of freedom, a grandfather who climbs on trees and talks to the geese and listens to the cherry tree breathing.
