MIXED   Sara, Italy and Mehdi, Iran. They met at a party in Venice in 2019. They started living together in the same year, then bought a house where they influenced each other immediately after the birth of their child, born in August 2022. "There are no major cultural differences, in we actually share values in a profound sense” they both say. They share a vision of the world and a certain political ideology. Sara fell in love with Mehdi's cheerfulness and liveliness, she loves Iranian food and dance. Mehdi arrived in Italy by chance but now he is happy he finds that Italy is a suitable place for him as he likes to live in a warm and lively social context Mehdi is a political refugee, he left his country due to problems in his previous activity as a journalist. He has always tried to see it as an opportunity for a new life, but in reality it hasn't been easy with friends and family. “The most painful thing for Mehdi is that he cannot go back to his country. For me it is a concern because he is very good at managing this weight but it is not easy” says Sara.
