A 3: photo/postcard size/landscape/black and white/ husband, Diadem, Ballo Dolder, 7 December 1959
The train had just set off towards the Tessin when a young man took a seat in our compartment. While my friend started chatting with him straight away, I hardly took any notice of him. I preferred to look out of the window. All I heard was that he was a Tessiner and was about to finish his ETH studies. Arriving in Bellinzona, he promised to reserve seats for us on the journey back to Zurich on Sunday night. That's how quietly a love story, a story of life, began.
