Spoken Text 2

Era una casa quasi signorile, circondata dal proprio giardino piccolo ma bello. Di dietro c’era unpiccolo cortile dove, d’estate si poteva mangiare all'aria aperta a lume di candela: l’unicoinconveniente di questi pranzi estivi erano le zanzare che volevano pranzare anche loro. La portadella cucina si apriva sul cortile, e dalla spaziosa e luminosa cucina un lungo corridoio, un po’ buio,portava ad un grande salotto, usato soltanto nei giorni solenni. Dall’altra parte della porta d’entrata,anche quella usata in poche occasioni, si trovava la camera matrimoniale dei miei nonni. I mieigenitori avevano un’altra camera da letto molto più piccola. Una camera piccolissima vicino allaloro era stata convertita in una camera da bagno, un lusso quasi sconosciuto in quei giorni. E noibambini? Noi sette bambini e una giovanissima zia? Noi eravamo sistemati nella mansarda.

Così era la mia casa come la ricordo. Ma adesso tutto è cambiato. Niente casa mia e caro giardino.Soltanto palazzi, parcheggi e trenta famiglie sconosciute.

Signorina: Mi scusate, ma dov’è il Museo delle Belle Arti?

Paolo: E` qui vicino. Continui per questa via, poi al semaforo giri a destra ed è arrivata.

Roberta: Ma che dici? Non sai che questa strada è senso unico?

Paolo: Oh, e` vero. Non ci avevo pensato.

Roberta: Senta signorina. Una volta arrivata al semaforo, deve continuare dritto. Al primoincrocio giri a sinistra e poi continui fino al museo.

Paolo: Sì, però deve sapere che vicino al museo è zona di sosta vietata: non puòparcheggiare là. Forse le conviene parcheggiare qui ed andare a piedi.

Signorina: È un buon suggerimento. Grazie molto.

Roberta: Non c’è di che. Arrivederci.
