With the help of a three-year-old granddaughter who teaches us about daily disorder (and places balloons on the bust of Socrates), Beppe Severgnini reflects on the passing of time, inviting us to "wear our age with elegance." Because there's a time for everything, and the generation of his children and grandchildren needs space and encouragement: not insufferable elders. Agata won't be on stage (she has professional commitments at the Montessori preschool), but her vivacity and gaze will help her grandfather recount, with serenity and humor, the complicated years we are living through. Beppe Severgnini invites us to understand the power of kindness, learn from failures, practice patience, and spend time with intelligent people and beautiful places that will bring fresh ideas.
