MIXED
Alessandra, Italy and Jimi, Nigeria They met very young at a nightclub in 2007 in Vicenza, they have lived together since 2011, they have two children. Alessandra comes from a Catholic family and then embarked on the path of approaching the evangelical Christian religion. Jimi's father became an evangelical Christian pastor and he grew up in his father's church and had a profound experience of Christianity. Jimi manages the choir at the church they attend. He is very involved in social work but this commitment, deriving from belonging to the evangelical community, was initially an element of difficulty. Their strengths are flexibility and dialogue. Being a mixed couple requires a few more sacrifices than people of the same nationality make, they say. To create a family they found compromises and began a spiritual journey together in a new church, where Italian is spoken.
