It: Sulla superficie scintillante del Canal Grande, una gondola scivolava dolcemente.
En: On the shimmering surface of the Canal Grande, a gondola glided gently.

It: Era una mattina di primavera, e Venezia era vestita a festa per la Pasqua.

It: "Venezia è bellissima in primavera," commentò Alessandro, cercando di rompere il ghiaccio.
En: "Venezia is beautiful in the spring," commented Alessandro, trying to break the ice.

It: Giovanni annuì distrattamente, perso nei suoi pensieri.
En: Giovanni nodded absentmindedly, lost in his thoughts.

It: L'eco delle celebrazioni pasquali aleggiava nell'aria, ma per Giovanni c'era ancora un'ombra che offuscava l'atmosfera.
En: The echo of the Easter celebrations lingered in the air, but for Giovanni there was still a shadow that clouded the atmosphere.

It: "Abbiamo bisogno di parlare," disse finalmente Alessandro, lo sguardo serio.
En: "We need to talk," Alessandro finally said, with a serious look.

It: Giovanni si girò verso di lui, gli occhi pieni di vecchi rancori.

It: Anche in un giorno così bello, il passato sembrava impossibile da dimenticare.
En: Even on such a beautiful day, the past seemed impossible to forget.

It: chiese Giovanni.

It: Doveva raccontare quel segreto, il peso che si portava dentro per anni.
En: He needed to reveal that secret, the burden he had carried inside for years.

It: "Ho qualcosa da dirti, un segreto di famiglia," iniziò cautamente Alessandro.
En: "I have something to tell you, a family secret," Alessandro began cautiously.

It: "Nostro padre ha lasciato una lettera."
En: "Our father left a letter."

It: Giovanni sussultò.
En: Giovanni jolted.

It: Le parole di Alessandro avevano catturato tutta la sua attenzione.
En: Alessandro's words had captured all his attention.

It: "Una lettera?"
En: "A letter?"

It: "Sì," rispose Alessandro, con gli occhi rivolti verso la corrente.
En: "Yes," replied Alessandro, with his eyes on the current.

It: "Nella lettera, nostro padre esprimeva il suo rammarico.
En: "In the letter, our father expressed his regret.

It: Sentiva di non averti sostenuto quanto ha sostenuto me.
En: He felt he didn't support you as much as he supported me.

It: Voleva che sapessi che era orgoglioso di te."
En: He wanted you to know he was proud of you."

It: Il silenzio calò su di loro, rotto solo dal dolce sciabordio delle onde contro la gondola.
En: Silence fell upon them, broken only by the gentle lapping of the waves against the gondola.

It: Giovanni sentì un turbinio di emozioni: sorpresa, dolore, una scintilla di speranza.

It: La conferma inaspettata dei sentimenti di suo padre era una rivelazione inaspettata.
En: The unexpected confirmation of his father's feelings was an unexpected revelation.

It: "Perché non me l'hai detto prima?"
En: "Why didn't you tell me before?"

It: La voce di Giovanni tremava, non solo di rabbia, ma di una sofferenza segreta.
En: Giovanni's voice trembled, not just with anger, but with a secret suffering.

It: "Non sapevo come dirtelo," confessò Alessandro, con gli occhi lucidi.
En: "I didn't know how to tell you," admitted Alessandro, with teary eyes.

It: "Ho sperato che trovando il momento giusto... potessimo finalmente affrontare tutto."
En: "I hoped that by finding the right moment... we could finally confront everything."

It: Giovanni si voltò verso il sole che illuminava la città.
En: Giovanni turned towards the sun illuminating the city.

It: "E ora, cosa succede?"
En: "And now, what happens?"

It: "Voglio chiederti perdono," disse Alessandro, con sincerità.
En: "I want to ask for your forgiveness," said Alessandro, sincerely.

It: "Non voglio che il passato rovini i momenti che possiamo ancora condividere."
En: "I don't want the past to ruin the moments we can still share."

It: Le parole di Alessandro toccarono il cuore di Giovanni.
En: Alessandro's words touched Giovanni's heart.

It: Immerso nel calore del sole primaverile e nella bellezza di Venezia, Giovanni sentì il gelo delle sue vecchie ferite sciogliersi un po'.
En: Immersed in the warmth of the spring sun and the beauty of Venezia, Giovanni felt the chill of his old wounds melt a bit.

It: "Forse è tempo di ricominciare..." I due fratelli restarono ancora sulla gondola, in silenzio.
En: "Maybe it's time to start over..." The two brothers remained on the gondola, in silence.

It: Ma ora, il silenzio era pieno di possibilità.

It: La città di Venezia li abbracciava in questo nuovo inizio, promettendo altri giorni di sole e forse, un legame più forte.
En: The city of Venezia embraced them in this new beginning, promising other sunny days and perhaps, a stronger bond.

It: E così, tra le acque del Canal Grande, Giovanni e Alessandro iniziarono a trovare la via per recuperare il loro rapporto, un passo alla volta, lasciandosi dietro l’ombra del passato.
