20 anni di Ilaria
October 29, 2018 // Posted in celebrations, family | No Comments
Yesterday it was Ilaria’s birthday (she turned 20), and today we have been invited for a lunch together with zio Marco, zia Francesca, cugina Ilaria and cugino Michele, at their place. Also all the available “nonni” joined us. It is amazing to think that Ilaria is already 20 years old. Thanks for the great lunch, and again, happy birthday to you, dear Ilaria.

Last evening in silicon valley we stopped at Santanarow, coming back to the hotel… It is a nice area full of elegant and high level shops… AMong them, there is Aesop, which is supposed to sell fragrances and essences… Among them….
Sekhar

I met Sekhar 18 years ago, at Berkeley, where he was getting his Ph.D. A strong friendship started, although it happened rarely to see each other during this period. But Sekhar too joined Cadence, here at San Jose’, so I had the opportunity to hug him during my training at the headquarters…
Una domenica tra amici…
October 22, 2018 // Posted in friends | No Comments
Dopo l’incontro con Colin, la domenica e’ stata dedicata a salutare altri carissimi amici che vivono da queste parti. Pranzo messicaneggiante (in quel di Santa Cruz), con Marco, Anna e Matteo. E cena da Ale, Emiko, Edo, Lisa e Mara, con self made ravioli giapponesi (Gyoza) e molto altro. Giornata davvero bella e intensa, con il privilegio di stare, almeno per qualche ora, in compagnia di amici cosi’ speciali, che purtroppo non siamo soliti frequentare per questioni logistiche. Grazie a tutti voi e ai vostri meravigliosi bimbi per aver accolto la componente maschile adulta di casa sacchibelli, in attesa che anche Lorenzo e Bea, un po’ cresciuti, possano venire, con Silvia, in questi meravigliosi posti…
After the Saturday spent with Colin , Sunday too was devoted to meet some old friend living in this area. Late in the morning I met Marco, Anna and Matteo, and we went to Santa Cruz, where we had a great mexican lunch. Back to the hotel, i was picked up by Alessandro (with Mara, Lisa and Edo) and we went to their place where we found Emiko working hard in the preparation of Gyoza ravioli…. All of them, both Marco’s family and Ale’s family was very kind with me, and I really felt as at home. Let’s hope to be able to meet each other more often….
Back to California
October 21, 2018 // Posted in friends | 1 Comment
After a while (2011) it happens that the adult male component of sacchibelli’s family has to fly to California, to Silicon Valley in particular, because of a training with the new company. It is the first time that he will be away from the rest of the family for a week, but the side benefit of such a travel is the possibility to see agin some old friend, livng there. And yesterday (Saturday) I started meeting Colin, Allie and their beautiful baby Charlotte. Sacchibelli met Colin in Pavia a while ago (see here) and it is nice to feel as true friends, although now we are living so far away…
Un pomeriggio allegro
October 15, 2018 // Posted in family, friends | 1 Comment
We were missing Ale, Luisa, Alice and Viola (aka, “i Pesi”) since our last lucky meeting at Finale Ligure. It was an hard period, a bit busy, but at the end we were able to share with them the afternoon, on Saturday. And it was a fantastic afternoon, full of happyness coming from the explosive friendship between the babies… Thanks for being so kind with us… and let’s try to meet each other quite soon, without waiting for so many months.
Giocanda 2018
October 8, 2018 // Posted in celebrations | No Comments
Sabato purtroppo il meteo non è stato troppo favorevole, e Giocanda, il festival dei giochi per le piazze di Pavia un po’ ne ha risentito. Pero’, passando da piazza Leonardo da Vinci, Lorenzo, e Anna, sono rimasti stregati da un gioco tanto semplice quanto affascinante… Il video è autoesplicativo: un foglio di carta, e tanta energia e entusiasmo…
Weather was not good last Saturday, but when we stopped at Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, we enjoyed a very simple and exciting game. Lorenzo and Anna were very addicted, and they made the “black magic” transforming a piece of paper in a lovely helix
Corripavia 2018
October 2, 2018 // Posted in family | 1 Comment
We like “Corripavia“, and we partecipated to many of them, in the past. Since Lorenzo and Bea arrived, we can target the Family run, a 2.5 km long funny race through the center, with a lot of children running happy and smiling. So we did this year and, as expected, we had a lot of fun….
Sicilia
October 2, 2018 // Posted in Travels | No Comments
Starting the new job at Cadence, it could happen that the adult male component of sacchibelli’s family will have to travel a bit. The first mission was at Catania, in the lovely Sicily. Bad weather didn’t allow him to swim in the sea, but the job experience was great: good colleagues and good feeling with people from STM. And a great dinner at “Il Porticciolo” at Capomulini.
