📒 These scraps of memories of the first twenty-five years of my life are dedicated mainly to my brother, with whom I would have liked to share more of these moments, and to a group of beloved children and youngsters -relatives, friends, students- who are often curious about my past. My childhood and my youth were in no way transcendental. I am not famous. I am not a celebrity, but I have decided to narrate some anecdotes with the hope of providing an idea about what life was like in a country that, for many of my target readers, is foreign and distant.
