STREGUCCI

In 2002, Franco Stregapede and Amalia "Amy" Mucci (business and life partners), left Italy for Canada at the age of 32 and 33 respectively, to ensure that Amy would return to her native origins and to be closer to her family. Meanwhile Franco (like most immigrants) encountered multiple difficulties: changes in language, jobs, friendships, climate and the approach to a society of a Western culture. He did this in order to start fresh in a new country and to achieve a better standard of living... While trying to integrate into the system, Franco (not being able to speak French or English), immediately began to work as a welder, (also because he did not need the languages to communicate with the welding machines). At the same time, he immediately began some French language evening courses while working. He worked as a welder for at least 4 years, while Amy, master of the Canadian languages and culture, began to teach her mother tongue for several private schools.
