Description
We are a venetian family of five people. I’m an engineer and my wife is a gynaecologist. We have three children: one boy and two girls. Nicolò is 15 years hold, Anna and Ginevra have 13 and 11 years.
Calvenzano is a small and quite village but is very close to Treviglio that is a nice city. Furthermore, Milan and Bergamo are just at 30 minutes from Treviglio by train.
My children are at school from 8 up to 13.00 - 16.00. In the afterword they practice some sports (swimming, volley and fencing next winter), play with friends or stay at home (for doing home works). In the evening we usually stay at home since the children go early to bed.
During the weekend we often go to Venice (where me and my wife come from) or to Tregnago (Verona) where we have another house in the country side.
During winter holiday we often go to Padola (Belluno) for skiing on the Dolomiti (Alps mountains).
During summer we love to go for a journey for at least two weeks and we go at the sea side in Caorle (a very nice fishermen village close to Venice).
We love children. Our children often ask to have a new sister or brother. Therefore you will be the older sister for them and the forth children for me and my wife.
