Nicola is his name, Nicola Tafra, but everyone calls him Mate.
mate is our neighbour, and a very special character.
in his young days he and some friends played with a german explosive, which ended in a severe injury.
he misses one arm, is blind at one eye, and has a load of other marks on his body telling the story without words: after the war is over only innocent die.
anyway, here he stand in a tree, cleaning it from ivy, and in case you wanna know, the tree was ours and we cut it down later.
sorry Mate, but thanks for the help, than and later on till now.
a special character, a good teacher to me, and a great friend to us.
puno hvala !
