Arrived at the lesson, the teacher asked everyone to get their creation and, one by one, to show it to the other students.
“Come here, Giovanna”, he said.
A woman in her fifties got up and showed off her work.
“Well. What do we have here?”, asked Marco Ferrarini and, after a very short pause, he started again: “A still-life drawing, with bottles and a basket of fruit. Good.”
The participants clapped.
“And now… Mauro. What are you going to show us? Uhm… a stylized portrait of a woman.”
“My wife”, the man specified.
“Well, you’ve been good too”
More applauses.
“And now… Luigi. Show us your creation.”
Luigi stood up and went in front of everybody.
“Oh man! What a nice drawing. A really well-made portrait: the scar on the cheek too. That’s definitely not you. Who is he?”
