A 26: Picture postcard/landscape/colour/ Stabio

I grew up in Stabio in a poor family. My father was a farmer. My three brothers and I all had to emigrate. At sixteen and a half I came to Zurich, did an apprenticeship here - and am still here today. For me there was no other choice but to go to Zurich.
