Story Transcript:

It: Milano era in fermento.
En: Milano was buzzing with activity.

It: L'aria fresca dell'autunno riempiva le strade, portando con sé l'odore inebriante delle caldarroste.
En: The fresh autumn air filled the streets, carrying with it the intoxicating smell of roasted chestnuts.

It: Alessio camminava lungo Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, passando tra le vetrine scintillanti dei negozi di moda.
En: Alessio walked along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, passing by the glittering fashion store windows.

It: Il suo cuore era però lontano, a Roma, accanto a Bianca.
En: However, his heart was far away, in Roma, next to Bianca.

It: Bianca frequentava l'università a Roma, circondata dall'arte e dalla storia che amava tanto.
En: Bianca was attending university in Roma, surrounded by the art and history she loved so much.

It: Spesso, si perdeva nei suoi pensieri mentre passeggiava vicino al Colosseo o visitava la Galleria Borghese.
En: Often, she would get lost in her thoughts while strolling near the Colosseum or visiting the Galleria Borghese.

It: Ma il pensiero di Alessio non la abbandonava mai.
En: But the thought of Alessio never left her.

It: Si chiedeva se potessero mai vivere insieme nella stessa città.
En: She wondered if they could ever live together in the same city.

It: Era sera e Alessio preparava la cena nel suo appartamento, pronto a chiamare Bianca su video.

En: "Buonasera, Bianca," said Alessio with a bright smile through the screen.

It: "Ciao, amore," rispose lei, con la stessa dolcezza.
En: "Ciao, amore," she replied with the same sweetness.

It: Si salutarono e iniziarono a parlare della giornata.
En: They greeted each other and began talking about their day.

It: Ma entrambi sapevano che dovevano affrontare una questione importante.
En: But both knew they had to address an important issue.

It: "Ho pensato molto," iniziò Alessio, "e voglio capire come possiamo stare insieme.
En: "I've been thinking a lot," Alessio began, "and I want to understand how we can be together.

It: Milano è la mia casa, ma senza di te mi sento incompleto."
En: Milano is my home, but without you, I feel incomplete."

It: Bianca sospirò, guardandolo attraverso i pixel del computer.
En: Bianca sighed, looking at him through the computer pixels.

It: "Anche a me manca stare con te," rispose.
En: "I miss being with you too," she replied.

It: "Ma qui a Roma ho il mio corso di studi e una vita costruita.
En: "But here in Roma, I have my studies and a life I've built.

En: It's hard to leave everything."

It: "Lo capisco," disse Alessio, appoggiandosi alla sedia.
