It: Nel cuore dell'inverno, l'orfanotrofio di Firenze si svegliò sotto una lieve coltre di neve.
En: In the heart of winter, the orphanage in Firenze awoke under a light blanket of snow.

It: Il vecchio edificio di pietra emanava un fascino antico, con le sue finestre grandi che lasciavano filtrare poca luce nel freddo mattino.
En: The old stone building exuded an ancient charm, with its large windows allowing little light to filter into the cold morning.

It: Luca camminava lungo il corridoio, i passi risuonavano sui pavimenti di legno.
En: Luca walked down the hallway, his footsteps echoing on the wooden floors.

It: Era arrivato presto per preparare l'attività di San Valentino.

It: "Ciao Luca!

It: Sei pronto per oggi?"

It: chiese mentre disponeva pennelli e colori sui tavoli di legno.
En: she asked while arranging brushes and paints on the wooden tables.

It: Luca annuì, ma la preoccupazione aleggiava nel suo sguardo.
En: Luca nodded, but worry hovered in his gaze.

It: "Le risorse sono poche," disse con un sospiro.
En: "Resources are scarce," he said with a sigh.

It: Il budget dell'orfanotrofio non permetteva di acquistare molti materiali artistici, e Luca temeva di non riuscire a realizzare la sua idea.
En: The orphanage's budget did not allow for the purchase of many art supplies, and Luca feared he wouldn't be able to realize his idea.

It: Giulia notò la sua esitazione.

It: "Posso aiutarti, se vuoi," suggerì con gentilezza.
En: "I can help you, if you want," she suggested kindly.

It: Luca si fermò.
En: Luca paused.

It: Sapeva che, per rendere il progetto speciale, avrebbe dovuto superare quella barriera interiore.
En: He knew that to make the project special, he would have to overcome that inner barrier.

It: Con un respiro profondo, decise di aprirsi e raccontò a Giulia del suo passato come orfano in quello stesso luogo.
En: With a deep breath, he decided to open up and told Giulia about his past as an orphan in that very place.

It: "L'arte mi ha sempre aiutato a sentirmi meno solo," confessò, il viso segnato da emozioni non dette.
En: "Art has always helped me feel less alone," he confessed, his face marked by unspoken emotions.

It: Giulia lo ascoltò attentamente, e la sua espressione divenne ancora più calorosa.
En: Giulia listened attentively, and her expression became even warmer.

It: "Siamo qui per far sentire i bambini amati," disse, "Troveremo un modo."

It: Con nuove idee in mente, Giulia e Luca usarono materiali riciclati e la loro creatività per trasformare le poche risorse in qualcosa di sorprendente.

It: Luca, con il cuore più leggero, li guidò nei vari progetti creativi.

It: "La vita può essere difficile," iniziò, "Ma l'arte, l'amore e la gentilezza possono illuminarla."
