The tears of the “activists”
“Ciao Papi,” Damiano began by addressing Giorgia in the video message, using a nickname they had never used in public before. “We’re all waiting for you here. Just remember to have fun and win.” A brief but sufficient content to move Giorgia and her adventure companion Federica.
The model and influencer immediately said she wasn’t ready to turn on the tablet just yet. And sure enough, Soleri put a hand in front of her face for a few moments, happy to see her partner again. “I’ve always considered myself a super independent person: I rarely miss the people I love, but nowadays it was noticeable here at the Coppino,” was Giorgia’s comment. Federippi also got her friend’s message and she didn’t hold back her tears either. A shared moment with Giorgia, who gave her back the same support she had previously received.
