Nonna Fiumana Racconta 'Nini's Story' The Italian Version: The original ITALIAN book, typed on the computer and illustrated by Matilde Lizzul at age 84.

by Matilde Lizzul, Vito Comar (Assistant), Marina Comar (Assistant)

The Original Italian Story! In memory of a creative and loving woman. This is the first part of Matilde Lizzul's original autobiographical story (10.21.1922 - 18.6.2008) dedicated to her grandchildren in Brazil. A refugee from Fiume - Istria, Matilde illustrated her own story and started writing this book at 84 years of age. The remarkable thing is not my age but the fact that after three years of being terribly depressed I began to write this book. What does this mean? That there is always hope, if you just have faith in yourself and perseverance.' Readers who understand Italian and are interested in personal growth and spirituality will enjoy this easy to read and flowing personal account. The English version does not contain Matilde's drawings and will soon be made available as a separate publication. Matilde's son Vito (who lives in Brazil) and daughter Marina got together in Australia in 2009, to collate this charming testimony of bygone times which Matilde had already fully typed on her computer complete with her drawings, photographs and illustrations.
