Who said that technology is a cold matter?
Sometimes, in-fact, technology and feelings can be strictly connected. As shown in our story today. A sort of Christmas tale set to Campobello di Licata, a small village in Sicily. Two stepsisters, respectevely 62 and 73 aged, will meet this 23rd of December after 62 years of distance. This miracle is made possible thanks to Facebook which put in contact these two women after a forced distance long period. Just one of the two elderly was aware of the other sister´s existence. Nevertheless the youngest sister, living in Sicily, was wrongly convinced that the other sister, currently living in Girona, Spain, had a different surname because of her illegitimacy as a daughter. Luckly the reality was different: so the common surname (and also name!), Giovanna Grova, was the link thanks to whom the youngest sister found the other one through Facebook.
An happy ending that nevertheless doesn´t reveal what happened during these long 62 years. A long period inextricably connected to the Spanish Civil War (´36-´39). At that time, in fact Italy led by Mussolini took part in the civil war in support of the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. It was during that period that a Sicilian Italian soldier became father for the first time: Giovanna (now 73), this is the name of his daughter, grew up without knowing that 11 years later she would have had a sister with the same name and surname. The 23rd of December she will meet her sister for the first time thanks to Facebook!
