This fact was clearly exemplified on the present occasion. As long as della Rebbia and Barricini remained in Italy they were close friends.
Oso garbi ikusi zen gora-behera haietan Italian zeuden bitartean Della Rebbia eta Barricini lagun-min izan zirela, baina Korsikara itzulitakoan, noizbehinka baino ez zuten elkar ikusi, herri berean bizi arren.
