Aurelio

The hero I chose is my great grandfather. His name was Aurelio Peccei. He participated in the Second World War, that is why I say that he was courageous and had lots of hope and faith. He was a really nice person. I can say that because he helped the needy people.

My hero was a member of the Italian Resistance in the Second World War. The Italian Resistance was called anti-fascist. In 1944 he was arrested, and tortured. Then he was able to escape and hide until the liberation. After the war ended, he started working in Fiat. Later on, he accepted to go to Latin America to work in Fiat. For me he is a hero because he was in war, he was arrested; he managed to escape and continued his life successfully by introducing Fiat into Latin America.

I think that my great grandfather was a survivor hero. Because he had a good education (he won a scholarship to go to the Soviet Union to the university), then he went to war in which he survived and continued his life successfully. He also founded and was president of the club of Rome.

On March 14, 1984 he died, at the age of 76. He lived in Argentina for more than a decade. If it was not for him I would not be in Argentina. So I thank him a lot because for all what he did for his family, for his country. I would also thank him because he brought Fiat to Argentina and to the world.

To conclude, my great grandfather is my personal hero because of all the things he has done for me, for my family and for the world.
