The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Happy House holds very fond memories for me. Fifty-five years ago my father, Salvatore, and my mother, Linda, decided to move our family from the hills of Tuscany to Roma so I could attend a better school. My father travelled to Roma and found Happy House, located on a quiet, safe and friendly street. In summer of 1954, we happily moved here. I spent my childhood and college days here, surrounded by love and friendship. My husband, Paolo, my mother Linda and I welcome you to my childhood home.
