Emanuele: | Conosci la storia di Gino Bartali? Dai, dimmi di sì! |
Benedetta: | Ti direi di sì, ma non ho capito se ti riferisci al personaggio o a qualche aneddoto sul suo conto. |
Emanuele: | In realtà, volevo raccontarti una vicenda di cui lui fu protagonista. Prima d’iniziare, però, vorrei che tu mi tratteggiassi un ritratto di questo grande campione. |
Benedetta: | Un antico adagio diceva: c’è un tempo per pescare e uno per asciugare le reti. Hai capito l’antifona? |
Emanuele: | No, per niente! |
Benedetta: | Beh, significa che non ho intenzione di perdere tempo a parlare della carriera sportiva di Bartali se c’è una storia più interessante da conoscere. |
