Giada, Gian Paolo Barbieri‘s niece, writes. :
Dear Uncle,
You were like a second father to me, a precious guide who stood by me through so many moments of my life. You passed on to me your passion for all things beautiful, like nature and aesthetic harmony.
Beyond moral values, you gifted me an immense aesthetic legacy, teaching me to look at the world with curious eyes filled with wonder.
Those lessons, those shared moments—I will treasure them in my heart for the rest of my days.
You were not only a teacher of life but also an integral part of who I am. Your love, your teachings, and your memory will live on in me and in everyone fortunate enough to have known you.
I will carry you with me always, Uncle. I will love you forever.
Safe journey.
Yours,
Giada
