BACKSTORY;; tw: death
his mother is american, his father italian. he was born in venice, italy and he lived there until his parents got divorced when he was about twelve years old.
then his mother went back to the usa with him and his sister, and they all started living in devinstone
his mother married again, but he never really liked the guy so he started saving to move out and live with his father back in italy. — his mother was a great person and he loved her deeply. his stepfather was also a great man and he realized that years later —but bruno always romanticized the idea of going back to italy and learning about art and then traveling across europe.
he lived in devinstone until he finished high school, and then when he turned eighteen, he packed up and went to italy where he lived with his father, and got his degree in art history.
he loved the place, and the language and all but after living there for a few years he just felt homesick.
he went back to devinstone and settled down and that’s when he did teacher training, and started working as a teacher, then started working on his masters degree. time passed, life goes on.
everything was fine and dandy until his father died and that’s when he just started feeling like he was ignoring life, doing things people expected of him instead of the ones he wanted to do
so bruno just dropped everything, got on a plane and decided to go around looking for himself again
three years into it and he was just tired and had no idea of what he was doing so he went back again to try and find himself back home.
he’s been back in devinstone for about six months and he has no idea of what he wants and he knows that as soon as he figures that out he is gonna go and do it but he doesn’t know how to figure that out so he’s just living life and all
