This powerful picture of three Italian grandmothers holding migrant children on their laps has been shared all over the internet as a beautiful example of humanity at its finest.
The image was initially uploaded to a closed Facebook group called “Sei di Campoli se…” meaning “You’re from Campoli if…” in English.
According to Rowena De Nigris, the woman that published the photograph, the three grannies were taking care of the kids at a welcome center for migrants in southern Italy.
Reportedly, the women pictured in the picture have been identified as Aunt Nicolina, Aunt Vincenza, and Aunt Maria. Their hometown of Campoli del Monte Taburno has welcomed many refugees who’ve sought sanctuary after crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Africa—and those three seniors have made it very clear that they’re happy to welcome many more with open arms.
