Roberta and Franco met by chance on a beach near Marina di Pietrasanta one summer afternoon. They started a relationship that led them to different places in northern Italy: Modena, Bologna, Venice, and Lodi. The girl even lived in a highway motel for a while just to be close to her lover, hoping to shape him and introduce him to the business world, ultimately aiming to turn him into a commercial manager in the automotive sector.
