En: Gianna asked, approaching Lorenzo.

It: "Sì, è vero," rispose Lorenzo, "ma penso che l'arte possa aiutarci a capire chi siamo e cosa ci lega."
En: "Yes, that's true," replied Lorenzo, "but I think art can help us understand who we are and what connects us."

It: Gianna aggrottò la fronte.
En: Gianna frowned.

It: "Ma l'arte è così... distante.

It: Ma l'idea di Lorenzo la incuriosiva.

It: Decise di ascoltare.
En: She decided to listen.

It: Insieme, iniziarono a lavorare su un'idea semplice ma efficace: un'installazione artistica improvvisata.

It: "E io non pensavo che le azioni concrete potessero nascere da una semplice idea," replicò Lorenzo.
En: "And I didn't think that concrete actions could arise from a simple idea," replied Lorenzo.

It: "Lavoriamo insieme ancora?"
En: "Shall we work together again?"
