Summary

Jan is walking near the iconic Duomo in Milan when he encounters his colleague Giuseppe. They exchange warm greetings and Jan explains he's heading to the supermarket to buy bread and milk. The conversation naturally turns to their families, with both men inquiring about each other's children.

Giuseppe confirms his children still attend the international school, and they realize their children are not only in the same class but have become friends. This pleasant discovery strengthens the connection between the two colleagues. After this brief but meaningful exchange in the heart of Milan, Jan excuses himself to continue his errands, and they part with friendly farewells, exemplifying the warm social fabric of their Milanese community.
