En: The winter chill was felt, but Giulia's enthusiasm warmed the atmosphere.

It: "Non vedo l'ora di vedere il Colosseo!" esclamò Giulia sorridendo, mentre Elena la seguiva lentamente, persa nei suoi pensieri artistici.

En: "Elena, where are you going?" Giulia worriedly followed her.

It: Ma Elena non si fermò.
En: But Elena didn't stop.

It: Raggiunta la sua destinazione, un angolo nascosto del Colosseo, osservò la struttura sotto la pioggia.
En: Reaching her destination, a hidden corner of the Colosseo, she looked at the structure in the rain.

It: "Guarda, Alessandro. Questo è il Colosseo che vedo.
En: "Look, Alessandro. This is the Colosseo as I see it.

It: La storia non è solo nei libri. È qui, intorno a noi, in ogni pietra."
En: History isn't just in books. It's here, around us, in every stone."

It: Alessandro fu colpito dalle sue parole.
En: Alessandro was struck by her words.

It: "Non ci avevo mai pensato così," ammise, ammirando la vista.
En: "I never thought of it that way," he admitted, admiring the view.

It: "Hai veramente un occhio artistico, Elena. Dobbiamo lavorare insieme su un progetto scolastico."
En: "You really have an artistic eye, Elena. We should work together on a school project."

It: Elena sentì un’ondata di soddisfazione.

It: Finalmente, era ascoltata.

It: Era come un segno di un nuovo inizio.
