(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 29 - A 10-year-old Albanian boy is reading books to a 55-year-old Italian neighbour and book lover who recently lost her sight due to a serious illness in Verona.
    Vicenza-born Paola Toldo told Il Giornale di Vicenza that "just yesterday Erik sent me another recorded chapter, even though I had told him not to worry about me and to focus on school and play".
    She said he was "attracted by ethical ideals, and fascinated by the archaic terms he finds in the texts I choose".
    Ms Toldo has for years been giving books to the boy, who lives just across the landing from her in the Veneto city. (ANSA).
