En: It was a special day.
It: La città era in festa e le strade erano piene di gente.

It: Il profumo delle caldarroste riempiva l'aria.
En: The scent of roasted chestnuts filled the air.
It: Giovanni e Alessandra cercavano un tesoro di famiglia.
En: Giovanni and Alessandra were searching for a family treasure.

En: It was a gold watch with a small red ruby.
It: Alessandra aveva una mappa.

It: I due stavano cercando insieme da mesi.
En: They had been searching together for months.
It: Quel giorno, la folla rendeva tutto difficile.
En: That day, the crowd made everything difficult.
It: Era complicato muoversi e parlare.
En: It was hard to move and talk.
It: "Ecco il negozio di gioielli," disse Giovanni.
En: "There's the jewelry store," said Giovanni.
It: Era uno dei negozi più antichi di Firenze, pieno di luci e vetrine luccicanti.
En: It was one of the oldest shops in Florence, full of lights and shiny windows.
It: Entrarono.
En: They went inside.
It: "Cerchiamo un orologio molto vecchio," disse Alessandra al gioielliere.
En: "We're looking for a very old watch," Alessandra said to the jeweler.
It: Lui scosse la testa.
En: He shook his head.
It: Non aveva visto niente del genere.
En: He hadn't seen anything like it.
It: Gli occhi di Giovanni si riempirono di delusione.
En: Giovanni's eyes filled with disappointment.
It: Non sapeva dove cercare adesso.
En: He didn't know where to search next.
It: Ma Alessandra non era pronta a rinunciare.
En: But Alessandra wasn't ready to give up.
It: Aveva visto qualcosa nella mappa, un piccolo dettaglio che aveva trascurato.
En: She had noticed something on the map, a small detail she had overlooked.
It: Andarono verso il fiume.
En: They headed towards the river.
It: Pioveva leggermente.
En: It was lightly raining.
It: Alessandra si fermò improvvisamente.
En: Alessandra stopped suddenly.
It: "Guarda, Giovanni!"
En: "Look, Giovanni!"
It: gridò, indicando un piccolo vicolo.
En: she shouted, pointing at a narrow alley.
It: Seguivano quel vicolo stretto, quasi oscuro.
En: They followed the narrow, almost dark alley.
It: Arrivarono a una piccola porta di legno.
En: They came to a small wooden door.
It: Sopra la porta c'era un'insegna.
En: Above the door was a sign.
It: "Vecchi tesori," leggeva Giovanni ad alta voce.
En: "Old Treasures," Giovanni read aloud.
It: Entrarono.
En: They went inside.
It: Un vecchio uomo dietro al banco alzò lo sguardo.
En: An old man behind the counter looked up.
It: Aveva occhi gentili.
En: He had kind eyes.
It: "Cosa cercate, bambini?"
En: "What are you looking for, children?"
It: chiese con una voce stanca ma gentile.
En: he asked with a tired but gentle voice.
It: "Un orologio.
En: "A watch.
It: Un orologio d'oro con un rubino rosso," disse Alessandra.
En: A gold watch with a red ruby," said Alessandra.
It: Il vecchio sorrise e andò in un retrobottega.
En: The old man smiled and went into a back room.
It: Tornò con un piccolo cofanetto di velluto rosso.
En: He returned with a small velvet box.
It: Lo aprì lentamente.
En: He opened it slowly.
It: All'interno c'era l'orologio.
En: Inside was the watch.
It: "Lo avete trovato!"
En: "You found it!"
It: esclamò Giovanni.
En: exclaimed Giovanni.
It: La gioia nei suoi occhi era immensa.
En: The joy in his eyes was immense.
It: Alessandra abbracciò forte Giovanni.
En: Alessandra hugged Giovanni tightly.
It: Il vecchio raccontò che l'orologio era stato portato anni fa da un uomo misterioso.
En: The old man explained that the watch had been brought in years ago by a mysterious man.
It: Nessuno era mai venuto a cercarlo fino ad allora.
En: No one had ever come to claim it until now.
It: Giovanni e Alessandra ringraziarono il vecchio.
En: Giovanni and Alessandra thanked the old man.
It: Tornarono sul Ponte Vecchio, il sorriso non si muoveva dai loro volti.
En: They returned to the Ponte Vecchio, the smile never leaving their faces.
It: La folla era ancora lì, ma adesso tutto sembrava più chiaro, più luminoso.
En: The crowd was still there, but now everything seemed clearer, brighter.
It: Avevano risolto il mistero.
En: They had solved the mystery.
It: L'antico orologio di famiglia era tornato.
En: The ancient family watch was back.
It: La festa in città continuava, ma per Giovanni e Alessandra, quel giorno, era una celebrazione ancora più speciale.
