Also in Italy there was a “Berlin Wall”, did you know that?
Who would have told that? If I had not passed from there, where it was still standing, this would have been a story that I could not tell. His bigger brother, the Berlin wall, more popular and somehow more important, lasted less: “only” 28 years. However, did you know that also Italy had a wall […]
