NoonOctober 1, 2022 – 09:08
They know each other very young: both are students at the Sannazaro del Vomero high school
from Anna Paola Merone
Diego Guida and Anna Maria Fierro know each other at school: she is 16, he is two years old. They are both students of Sannazaro, the classical high school of Vomero, and Anna Maria’s brother to introduce them. Thus begins a relationship in which heart and head, thoughts and feelings are intertwined. They are inseparable: they talk, discuss, plan a future in which ideals, choices, projects multiply.
The wedding
On June 1, 1991, Father Gennaro Matino – who knew them from an early age and who later baptized their children as well – joined them in marriage in the church of the Holy Trinity in via Tasso. They continue like this, as husband and wife, on a path in which small and large choices share in a daily life made of affinity and dialogue. Their professional destinies are fulfilled on different levels, but the unique cultural matrix. Diego after graduating in Economics follows the family vocation and becomes an editor. A commitment to which he accompanies political, associative, academic experiences and projects related to festivals and book fairs. She is a reporter. But when the family grows and his children arrive – Gioia and Stani, who are now 23 and 19 – he chooses to devote himself full time to teaching. To tune the times of the profession with the needs of the very desired children, that happily turn their lives upside down. Then the competition as a manager and the recent arrival at the regional school. A path that is also relevant for deciphering the complex codes of the new generations and following the evolution of young people with awareness.
The opposites
Diego and Anna Maria know how to intuit the dynamics of mutual commitments and interpret silences, criticisms and choices. Nevertheless they have opposite characters. He is instinctive, he immediately understands who he is in front of and the situations he faces: in short, he manages to judge a book by its cover. She takes her time, but when she comes to judgment there is no room for error. He is aware of this and trusts evaluations that are final. The family is the place of the heart, where they cultivate roots and new perspectives. Theater and travel are a shared pleasure, like the sea they have long lived in a corner of Cilento and through exotic beaches where they stopped in the course of adventures that have taken them around the world. In over forty years of life together they have faced each other decisively and have savored moments that are not always easy. Their secret is to push every discussion to the limit, so as not to leave behind aftermath or disagreements, and thus defuse misunderstandings.. There is only one real front on which there is no synthesis: smoking. Anna Maria forces Diego, who has an intense relationship with cigarettes, to consider the terrace as the only free zone. A small solitary space in an existence of absolute sharing.
