In Palumello that is reflected by most of the memories of Donna Marie’s childhood when her grandmother sang her lullabies, made her pastina for breakfast and spent time with her, either watching the fights on T.V or just sitting next to her while the rest of her family participated in dance lessons that she could not be part of due to the cast she had from her waist…
