About flipped coins and flipped worlds
In the world there are some cities that could and will change you forever. I believe one of them is Rome.
It has this magical enchantment that leads you to the right path.
“All roads, lead to Rome”, they say.
Each student arrived here, with a luggage full of clothes, emotions and fears. But mostly they arrived with a luggage full of dreams, that in one way or another, each day is being fulfilled. Every step they take to the unknown is a tiny stone like a San Pietrino on the path of their growth.
Days become weeks and together many changes in their way of seeing the world. If the world was easy as flipping a coin, they will be asking Siri to do it for them. Siri tell me my future… “Heads or tails”, but the world is so much more than that, maybe they arrived with that thought but they will finish throwing a real coin in the Trevi Fountain, and doing a real flip in their own worlds.
