One morning, six students were walking together to school in Vitalba, Tuscany: Enzo, Amalia, Vittorio, Winnie, Joni, and Raschele. They had met by chance on their way to school and were walking together through the Italian town.
They all had in common their studious nature, and they all aspired to be something in life. Enzo wanted to be an artist, Amalia wanted to be a businesswoman, Vittorio dreamed of being a writer and illustrator, Winnie wanted to be a veterinarian, Joni wanted to be a priest, and Raschele dreamed of being a nurse.
They arrived at school together, and the doorman even found it strange:
"Interesting, Enzo and Vittorio together, they're always fighting..."
Vittorio said:
"But what's the big deal? We can talk sometimes, normally."
Raschele said to Winnie:
"Imagine if Vittorio were barred for being barefoot..."
"That won't happen, the headmistress authorized it a long time ago."
"Wow, how interesting that would be." Amália and Joni talked a lot to each other, too. They went to class, where there was a strict rule: no cell phones in the classroom. The teachers at the school wouldn't give up on traditional education, despite all the technological advances.
And so, another school day began, with them and all the other students who had arrived there.
