Giovanna Allegra is a fifteen year old Italian girl. She is fluent in Italian as well as English. She was orphaned in a car accident that killed both of her parents and left her emotionally traumatized. After five years of therapy she has finally recovered. Giovanna is interested in photography. She has won several amateur contests before. Simon Claude is a ten year old boy from England. He was abandoned by his mother at a very young age and has lived with foster families most of his life. Simon is particularly interested in computers and technology. He likes to play games as well as take things apart to see how they work. Please let us know how Simon and Giovanna are settling in!

One year laterGianna is adapting very well to our family. At first, she was a bit disturbed to find that Jane had been involved in a car accident also, but is quickly forming an empathy bond with her due to their similar experiences. She has been learning more and more photography, and has begun to win even more contests. Gianna also gave an indication of wanting to become Papa Tony's assistant.Simon is also integrating into the family very easily. He initially was suspicious that we are yet another foster family for his "collection", but it soon became apparent that we are his permanent family from now on. If Gianna and Jane has bonded together well, Simon has become closer and closer to me. He loves to see how all the magical apparatus works, and is now dreaming of inserting some high-tech computer effects for the next performances.Thank you for bringing these two wonderful children into our life!LN: CassettiDH: Antonio "Tony"
