[ENGLISH]
In early September I went to an antique and second-hand fair. In a square, everyday objects from long ago were displayed. There were old radios, old-fashioned coffee makers, old irons, ice skates, old rusty lanterns. These objects immediately caught my attention. They were well placed in the main square of the town where this exhibition was held.
While observing these used objects I thought about how much technological progress there has been in the last 70 years.
Have any of you ever seen these objects? Haven't you ever seen these objects at your grandparents' house?

I primi di settembre sono stato ad una fiera dell’antico e dell’usato. In una piazza venivano mostrati oggetti di uso quotidiano di tanto tempo fa. C’erano vecchie radio, caffettiere di una volta, vecchi ferri da stiro, dei pattini per il ghiaccio, vecchie lanterne arrugginite. Questi oggetti hanno attirato subito la mia attenzione. Erano ben disposti nella piazza principale del paese in cui si teneva questa mostra.
Nell'osservare questi oggetti usati ho pensato a quanto progresso tecnologico c’è stato negli ultimi 70 anni.
Qualcuno di voi ha mai visto questi oggetti? Non avete mai visto questi oggetti a casa dai vostri nonni?

THE END
We have this type of lamp in the early 90s, we called it petromax. My parents will use it only if there is a celebration because it is way more expensive than the normal kerosene lamp. Petromax uses alcohol based flued and it uses gas mantle to produce light.
We sill have our charcoal iron. When my mother iron my school uniform, I used to stay beside here and smell the fragrance of the clothe when it heated by the charcoal iron. They uses coconut shells charcoal as they believed it is hotter that the wood charcoal.
thank you for this beautiful comment. I see that some objects are not totally unknown to you either
Yeah, we have them when I was a kid except that radio and ice skating shoes. We had the coffee makers as well the one made of aluminum, but its handle is on the top not on the side, it was a gift to my parents from our grandma in late 80s.
