Uncle Piero

Uncle Piero, a photo by la casa a pois on Flickr.

Here he is, my Great Uncle Piero and his dog.
I found this photo this afternoon at home.
I always loved to hear from my mum the stories about this uncle who was an artisan smith.
Always doing new project of sculptures, always suffering of deep depressions.
But sweet, tender and sadly smiling.
I love this image because it gives me a sense of continuity with my past.
