Sometimes a wish is visible even if it hasn’t been heard. What a delight it was to grant residents Alighero and Anna, of Stirling Park, a wonderful Italian anniversary celebration!
This lovely couple recently celebrated 67 years of marriage. Their journey from Italy to Ottawa, and the life they have experienced, has been filled with such beautiful memories.
Although they have not been able to return to their beloved homeland for many years, the spirit of Italy has always stayed alive in their hearts, minds and in their wonderful family.
The Stirling Park team wanted to bring a piece of Italy back to Alighero and Anna given they couldn’t travel to Italy. Realizing they were about to celebrate their 67th wedding anniversary, it was decided this would be the best time to bring Italy to them. Our chef and team prepared a delicious Italian dinner, while turning Stirling Park into a street in Italy complete with charming decor and the sweet sounds of Giuseppe on the accordion. This brought back so many memories for them as they enjoyed their special evening. Not only did we honour their anniversary, but also the strength of their love, as Anna was recently reunited with Alighero after his recent health challenges kept them apart.
We are so grateful they were able to share this special occasion surrounded by family. Here’s to Alighero and Anna—may your love continue to flourish and may you create many more beautiful memories together.
Cheers to many more years of happiness!
