Welcome to the PORCH! A room with a view. A threshold. A beginning. A place of comfort and discovery. A place of exchange. A place for welcoming and reflection. Sweet hellos and melancholic farewells. From May to November, the PORCH will be ours – yours and mine – to embrace our past, celebrate our present, and prepare for our future. Here on the PORCH, we’ll sing, dance, laugh, learn, play and remember, together!
Benvenuti al PORCH! Una stanza con vista. Una soglia. Un inizio. Un luogo di conforto e scoperta. Un luogo di scambio. Un luogo di accoglienza e di riflessione. Dolci saluti e malinconici addii. Da maggio a novembre, il PORCH sarà nostro, vostro e mio, per abbracciare il nostro passato, celebrare il nostro presente e prepararci per il nostro futuro. Qui sulla VERANDA, canteremo, balleremo, rideremo, impareremo, giocheremo e ricorderemo, insieme!
