Marzo: la Versilia sorride baciata da un bel sole di
primavera.
È proprio in questo giorno che la piccola Virginia
decide di venire al mondo e scaldare il cuore di mamma
Veronica e babbo Andrea. Anche i fratelli, Amos e Matteo
sono felicissimi e gioiosamente sbigottiti di fronte al
miracolo della vita, che ancora una volta si compie e,
questa volta, lo fa proprio in mezzo a loro.
A pochi giorni dalla sua nascita, Virginia è già una
piccola Principessa, amata e coccolata da tutti.
Benvenuta Virginia; sia la tua vita una meravigliosa
primavera, come quella che hai portato nel cuore di
tutti coloro che ti vogliono bene.
Andrea
Bocelli
21st March: Versilia smiles, kissed by a
beautiful spring sun.
This is the day that little Virginia has decided
to come into the world and warm the hearts of
mummy Veronica and daddy Andrea. Her brothers,
Amos and Matteo are also very happy and joyfully astonished at the sight of this
miracle of life, that once again occurs and,
this time, occurs among them all.
Just a few days from her birth, Virginia is
already a little Princess, loved and pampered by
all.
Welcome Virginia: may your life be a wonderful
spring, just like the one that you have brought
to the hearts of all of those who love you.
