Alessandra, Italy and Daniel, Spain. In this photo they are expecting their first daughter. Daniel's father is from Santo Domingo and the mother is from Spain. They met in Palermo in 2013 and married in 2018. The fact of using two different languages was also a source of misunderstanding but according to Alessandra it is an enrichment. She likes Spanish and sometimes she prefers the way some concepts are spelled out. Being a mixed couple is an added value. At the beginning of coexistence they had to find their own way of being a couple, and reconcile the different cultural ways of seeing this.

Anna, Italy and Constant, Ivory Coast. Married since 2019. Constant arrived in Italy as a minor, lived in different cities, in Italy and France and did countless jobs.
