Mariana, custodian

 

Your story in ten lines

I am born in 1978 in Borşa (Transilvania), a small Rumanian town (27,000 inhabitants). I have good memories of that period, I am raised with seven brothers and three sisters. A big family, with which I stay until the end of the ‘90s. In high school I study tailoring and finish my studies at the end of the ‘90s. Then I marry and slightly after I move to Italy, towards the beginning of the 2000s. In order to come to Italy I leave behind my two children. Once in Italy, I first live in Pavia, with my sister, and then start working in Milano first as a labour worker in a factory and then as a janitor. Now I am a custodian.
