Honor family

“I was like looking for Italian names not only because I am married to an Italian but because my children’s last name is an Italian last name, so I wanted it to match their name. I make a list of the names that I liked and I told Francesco: ‘sit here, I think we already have the name,'” he said.
Although at that time, his partner was not attracted to any of them, he explained that he later showed her one that was not on the list and that she liked and that she hoped he would have the same reaction.
“When he reads the name he adds another name. Then he shows it to me and the name was Franco Raffaele. My father was also called Rafael, so we continue honoring the family. And then he tells me: ‘Look, Franco was a very special family member, very important for us, someone who helped my dad a lot and who I loved very much and who I would definitely name a son of mine after him.’ He became so special to me that without me knowing that he had an important meaning for Francesco “I also chose it on my own,” he added.
