IL CENTRO - - Spoltore - The good miss / La signorina buona
Linda Ronca, 93, comes back every year to visit her former students of 50 years ago. Born in Città Sant'Angelo in 1907, she started teaching in Spoltore on 1934 and stayed until 1948. The annual meeting is a heart-felt tribute to a lady who gave her life to education and the poor. She still donates part of her pension to the less-privileged, and supported a young boy who was abandoned by his family.
