There
are many examples of loyal lovers like Ignacio Agramonte and
Amalia Simoni, extraordinary marriage despite the obstacles
imposed on them by the Ten Year War.
On August 1st, 1866, “El Mayor” got married at the Nuestra
Senora de la Soledad Church with his only girlfriend and created
a home full of love.
History also includes a passion of love in 1928 of Italian Tina
Modotti and Cuban revolutionary Julio Antonio Mella, whose love
turned into a legend.
She was a photographer and he was a student in exile in Mexico
for political reasons, and both carried out a history mutilated
by hatred and barbarity.
Although the Gerardo Machado dictatorship killers assassinated
Mella shooting him from behind when walking with Tina, the
lovers passed on to history books as passion and tenderness.
The same story goes for Maximo Gomez and Bernarda Toro; or
Camilo Cienfuegos and Rosalba Alvarez.
In difficult times one and once again, love triumphs. Neither
battles, injustices no hate can end such a feeling capable of
creating wonders and turning anything into a miracle.
