Her most memorable paycheck: <\/strong>During summer holidays when I was 11, a family friend asked my parents if I could help in his toy shop. My task was to rearrange and dust the shelves. I was proud and happy \u2014\u00a0it was like playing with new toys all the time! With my first paycheck of 100,000 lira, I bought presents: a checkered tablecloth for my mother, a tape of a famous Italian songwriter for my father, and for me my first guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n
