Tina Cipollari, a childhood marked by deprivation

I never noticed the age difference.” “He was very sympathetic, but he made himself, he had values - continues the Men and Women columnist, silencing in the bud the possible criticism of those who would accuse her of a relationship , which is driven by an interest in comfort. – he had travelled, he had built his life.
