in the back, the city stress savvy family masters, the situation with the job today the big day because it's the 1st day of school school is the most important thing for children. and today's the 1st day during the last 5 or 6 months, we were locked up at hun, just like everyone else. she quit me the only one who went to school with the dog because the dog school is out the door. they're gay. let's go to the gun it based on the after we began taking the don't cool, did we get that you can do stuff outside again. you will find the letter after after a short chat with the family. dave, man, paolo moves on to check how the new house is coming along. the building belongs to a group of people who inherited. the place has been empty for 2 decades, and has to be renovated from the ground up. the victorious dream house is surrounded by greenery because there is little demand for housing in terror.

the victorious were able to rent the place for a son. seeing it now, it's hard to believe they'll move in in 3 weeks. they said that they need about 10 more days that are really quite fun. let's hope that they manage it. so whether it was actually on the how he and he's a patient of living in a house surrounded by wild fig trees is a major thing with support that he got as good as stories. going to be replaced with the glass one to find a big living room will be here. a large space where the kids can play even when it's cold. joe got at. the build is finally show up putting a new floor in the house and giving everything a new coat of paint. the owners are paying for it. and small companies specializing in the building trades are benefiting from the new people moving in. they're

you complain about your life and you don't really with god much because you just have to do what you have to do for you. and i mean, but here it's all different because you're in new, empty streets, ready for trees and fresh prevalence. when after that the government there was well yeah, to be lighter. born was a good i don't know man. what about you the 1st day? what did you play? you don't know, but it was a great game. did you ever play? what should we do with the backpack? dad, nuts, no backpack. that's a hand band. that's right hand bag. to your a man, stefano farina sees the scenes of every day family life as a victory in the battle to save the life of his community with

a pretty more faith. total of the school is where we 1st saw the effects of our programs, you know, to the regional educational therapies. told us we would see teaching children from several age groups altogether. and one class they bought a excel s corps in the new arrivals that we've been able to avoid moving us things to the 7 new families that moved to t ora the school can continue to operate as it has in the past. but there are still lots of n p buildings in the center of town. could selling these for one euro be another opportunity to improve taylor in the future. like as narrows the new one year a project further reduces the real estate assets of the community. and when you give someone something legalize, then there isn't an obligation for the buyers to live in the community that be that level. when we need families living here, not 5 days a year. i mean we need families. that would be part of our society and help us to

keep our services with that. so that with developing in a way that gets us back to normal life. i mean, oh, meanwhile, 7 families from all around the world settled in taylor and they are all a new passport holders and come from naples sicily, argentina, brazil, and england is also a family that has played from syrian to melia one year of houses have also made the place a nexus of many cultures, most of the buyers come from abroad and only vacation here. yet here it's less a matter of repopulating the village synergies of rescuing the villages, old bricks and mortar. the viewing to us of the group from moulton is coming to an end. sarah cooper and her friends have looked at
