HISTORY

WHEN I REMEMBER MY CHILDHOOD, MY GRANDFATHER IMMEDIATELY COMES TO MIND. HE KNEW A LOT OF PEOPLE, WORKED ALL THE TIME, AND WAS RESPECTED BY EVERYONE HE RAN A SMALL SHOP, A “BOTTEGA” TO BE PRECISE... THAT PLACE LOOKED TO BE ENORMOUS TO ME, THE BIGGEST PLACE IN THE WORLD. THERE WERE ONLY MEN INSIDE: THEY READ THE NEWSPAPER, SMOKED... AND SAT IN STRANGE, GIGANTIC CHAIRS.

MY GRANDFATHER WAS A BARBER.

I GREW UP WATCHING HIM WORK, CUT BEARDS AND HAIR DAY AFTER DAY... HE DID IT EVERY DAY FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS.

TODAY I AM PART OF THE THIRD GENERATION OF MY FAMILY, AND THERE IS ONLY ONE THING I REGRET ABOUT MY JOB: NEVER HAVING WORKED ALONGSIDE HIM. THIS LETTER IS DEDICATED TO YOU, GRANDPA: YOU TAUGHT ME WHAT DEDICATION MEANS...YOU PASSED ON TO ME THE SOUL OF THIS PROFESSION. YOU NEVER GAVE UP. NOW I'M GROWN UP, GRANDPA, AND I'M A BARBER TOO.
