Here in Athens noifacciamo so.

Freedom of cuigodiamo extends everyday life, we are not
suspicious of each other and do not bother if ever our
next to our neighbor like to live in his own way.
We are free, free to live just like we like
and yet we are always ready to face any danger. A

own private affairs, but also is not concerned with public affairs
to solve his private matters. Here in Athens

noifacciamo so. There is
