This is the first time that I have published these letters written by my father to my mother.

In life, my parents were always very reserved about the deep feeling they shared for one another. I feel a great deal of emotion in revealing my father's state of mind when he wrote these letters to my mother. I have been uncertain, but at the same time, I have felt the duty to let people know the truth about the great love and devotion that existed between them, which lasted all their lives.

From these letters--so intense and alive, there appears evidence that their love never failed, never had ups and downs, and was always constant, always faithful, always total. I repeat: it is the first time that I offer to those of you who have treasured and have been inspired by my father's memory, and now also, of my mother. I am offering you, the readers of these memoirs, the chance to penetrate in the private life of my parents.

I can say with pleasure that my father found, in his love for my mother, a new impulse and the challenge to do and to create always more, to research every aspect and detail of his experiments, and to complete with utmost devotion the preparation of his inventions.

He was, without doubt, always reinforced and enlightened by his Faith, and by my mother's love.

My spirit, as his grateful daughter, being now the only one to keep alive the most intimate, clear memories of both my father and my mother, I ask all you, who read these letters, to do it with respect and understanding.
