Story Transcript:

It: Era un tardo pomeriggio di primavera all'Istituto San Giorgio, un antico collegio immerso tra le colline verdi della Toscana.
En: It was a late spring afternoon at Istituto San Giorgio, an ancient boarding school nestled among the green hills of Toscana.

It: Il cielo era chiaro e il sole si rifletteva sui vigneti e sugli uliveti che incorniciavano il paesaggio.
En: The sky was clear, and the sun reflected off the vineyards and olive groves that framed the landscape.

It: Luca, uno studente dal carattere curioso e avventuroso, si aggirava per i corridoi dai muri di pietra consumata.
En: Luca, a student with a curious and adventurous personality, wandered through the corridors with their worn stone walls.

It: Il suo spirito investigativo era sempre in allerta, specialmente in un luogo così pieno di storia.
En: His investigative spirit was always on alert, especially in a place so full of history.

It: Un giorno, mentre esplorava il seminterrato del collegio, notò un'antica porta di legno.
En: One day, while exploring the basement of the school, he noticed an ancient wooden door.

It: Sembrava normale, ma una sensazione strana gli entrò nello stomaco.
En: It seemed normal, but a strange sensation settled in his stomach.

It: Non riusciva a togliersi dalla testa l'idea che ci fosse qualcosa dietro.
En: He couldn't shake the idea that there was something behind it.

It: Chiamò la sua amica Giulia, che, pur essendo più cauta e scettica, lo seguì suo malgrado.
En: He called his friend Giulia, who, though more cautious and skeptical, followed him nonetheless.

It: "Luca, è meglio non scherzare con queste cose," disse Giulia, il timore evidente nella voce.
En: "Luca, it's better not to mess with these things," said Giulia, the fear evident in her voice.

It: Nonostante le parole di Giulia, Luca decise di girare la maniglia.
En: Despite Giulia's words, Luca decided to turn the handle.

It: La porta cigolò aprendosi e rivelò un passaggio buio e stretto.
En: The door creaked open, revealing a dark and narrow passageway.

It: L'aria al suo interno era fredda e umida, e l'eco dei loro passi risuonava tra le pareti.
En: The air inside was cold and damp, and the echo of their steps resonated between the walls.

It: Entrarono, illuminando il cammino con una torcia.
En: They entered, lighting the way with a flashlight.

It: Man mano che procedevano, trovarono vecchi libri e lettere ingiallite dal tempo.
En: As they proceeded, they found old books and letters yellowed with time.

It: Luca capì che quei documenti raccontavano storie dimenticate dell'istituto.
En: Luca understood that these documents told forgotten stories of the institute.

It: Tuttavia, il passaggio sembrava farsi sempre più pericoloso.
En: However, the passage seemed to become increasingly dangerous.

It: I muri iniziavano a sgretolarsi e le strutture vacillavano sotto di loro.
En: The walls began to crumble, and the structures wavered beneath them.

It: All'improvviso, sentirono un rumore.
En: Suddenly, they heard a noise.

It: Era Marco, il misterioso custode della scuola.
En: It was Marco, the mysterious school caretaker.

It: La sua ombra si stagliava nella penombra.
En: His shadow loomed in the dim light.

It: "Che cosa ci fate qui?
En: "What are you doing here?"

It: ", chiese con voce grave e un po' sospettosa.
En: he asked in a grave and somewhat suspicious voice.

It: Luca, nonostante un po' di paura, decise di affrontarlo.
En: Luca, despite feeling a bit frightened, decided to confront him.

It: "Stiamo solo cercando di capire la storia del collegio," spiegò.
En: "We're just trying to understand the history of the school," he explained.

It: Il terreno tremò e parte del soffitto iniziò a crollare.
En: The ground shook, and part of the ceiling began to collapse.

It: Luca e Giulia erano intrappolati, presi dal panico mentre polvere e detriti offuscavano la vista.
En: Luca and Giulia were trapped, panicking as dust and debris clouded their vision.

It: Marco, inaspettatamente, si avvicinò con calma e li aiutò a uscire dal passaggio.
En: Marco, unexpectedly, approached calmly and helped them out of the passage.

It: Fuori, entrambi i ragazzi ringraziarono il custode, ancora scossi dall'esperienza.
En: Outside, both children thanked the caretaker, still shaken from the experience.

It: Marco, con un sospiro, rivelò che il passaggio nascondeva segreti che la sua famiglia aveva custodito per generazioni.
En: Marco, with a sigh, revealed that the passage hid secrets that his family had guarded for generations.

It: Segreti che erano meglio rimanessero tali.
En: Secrets that were better left undiscovered.

It: "Non tutto deve essere scoperto," disse Marco con un saggio sorriso.
En: "Not everything needs to be uncovered," said Marco with a wise smile.

It: Luca comprese allora il valore del rispetto per certe storie e confini.
En: Luca then understood the value of respecting certain stories and boundaries.

It: Trovare il giusto equilibrio tra curiosità e cautela divenne chiaro.
En: Finding the right balance between curiosity and caution became clear.

It: Uscirono dal seminterrato, con la promessa di tenere a mente l'importanza della fiducia e dei legami che uniscono passato e presente.
En: They exited the basement, with the promise to keep in mind the importance of trust and the bonds that unite past and present.

It: Con il tramonto che colorava d'oro il panorama Toscano, si sentivano ora più consapevoli del peso che si portano dietro le antiche mura del collegio.
