It: Ora tutto sembrava diverso.

It: Si chiedeva se fosse lui a essere cambiato o se fosse cambiato il villaggio.
En: He wondered if it was he who had changed or if the villaggio had changed.

It: Pensieri di isolamento e di non appartenenza lo assillavano, ma era determinato a trovare una connessione con le sue radici.
En: Thoughts of isolation and not belonging plagued him, but he was determined to find a connection with his roots.

It: In mezzo alla folla, vide Livia, un volto amico e familiare.

It: Marco si avvicinò, un po' esitante, ma deciso a ricostruire il legame che avevano.

It: "Ciao Marco!"
En: "Ciao Marco!"

It: esclamò Livia con un sorriso grosso.
En: exclaimed Livia with a big smile.

It: "È tanto che non ti si vede da queste parti."
En: "It's been a while since you've been around here."

It: "Ciao Livia," rispose Marco, cercando di nascondere la sua insicurezza.
En: "Ciao Livia," replied Marco, trying to hide his insecurity.

It: "È bello essere di nuovo qui al festival.
En: "It's nice to be here at the festival again.

It: Sembra che tutto sia cambiato."
En: It seems that everything has changed."

It: Livia gli diede uno sguardo comprensivo.
En: Livia gave him an understanding look.

It: "Sì, alcune cose sono cambiate.
En: "Yes, some things have changed.

It: Ma molte cose belle sono rimaste uguali."
En: But many beautiful things have stayed the same."

It: Mentre chiacchieravano, Livia gli spiegò come il villaggio si fosse adattato ai tempi, mantenendo però vive le tradizioni.
En: As they chatted, Livia explained how the villaggio had adapted to the times, while keeping traditions alive.

It: Il pomeriggio avanzava e il sole gettava lunghe ombre sulla piazza.
En: The afternoon progressed, and the sun cast long shadows over the square.

It: Marco e Livia si sedettero sotto un grande albero, osservando le persone che ridevano e si godono i festeggiamenti.
En: Marco and Livia sat under a large tree, watching the people laugh and enjoy the festivities.

It: Fu in quel momento che Marco si aprì.

En: "Sometimes I feel like I don't belong anymore."

It: Livia annuì, capendo il suo conflitto interiore.
En: Livia nodded, understanding his inner conflict.

It: "Anche il villaggio è cambiato, Marco.
En: "The villaggio has changed too, Marco.

It: E noi cresciamo e cambiamo con esso.
En: And we grow and change with it.

It: Ma vivere questi momenti insieme, come questo festival, ci ricorda chi siamo, indipendentemente dai cambiamenti."
En: But living these moments together, like this festival, reminds us of who we are, regardless of the changes."

It: Marco, ascoltando le parole di Livia, capì che era il cambiamento stesso che offriva nuove opportunità di connessione.
En: Listening to Livia's words, Marco understood that it was the change itself that offered new opportunities for connection.

It: Iniziò a sentirsi parte del tutto, un intrico di passati e presenti che coesistevano con armonia.
En: He began to feel part of the whole, an intertwining of pasts and presents that coexisted in harmony.

It: Quando il cielo diventò un mix di arancio e rosa, Marco si alzò, sentendosi leggero.

It: "Grazie, Livia.
En: "Thank you, Livia.

It: Mi hai fatto vedere il villaggio con nuovi occhi."
En: You've helped me see the villaggio with new eyes."

It: Con un sorriso complice, Livia disse: "Ricordati, Marco.
En: With a knowing smile, Livia said, "Remember, Marco.

It: La nostra casa non è solo un posto, ma è chi scegliamo di avere accanto."
En: Our home is not just a place, but who we choose to have by our side."

It: Il festival continuò, illuminato dalle luci delle lanterne.
En: The festival continued, illuminated by the lantern lights.
