Ninish is a cheerful and good-natured woman, the wife of Tezfai with whom she
has lived in Italy for more than 10 years. Tezfai left his country as a young man to
study veterinary in Cuba, where he then lived for many years. Ninish and Tefzai
met in Rome and have two sons: Christian (12) and Abel (23) were born and
bred in Italy but now live in Ethiopia with their grandparents.
Although she has fond memories of Addis Ababa, Ninish wants to live in Rome,
where one day she hopes to reunite her own family under one roof. She will have
to come to terms with her sons' wishes, though, who at the moment do not want
to abandon their ties with Ethiopia.
She is a solid point of reference for the community of 4Stelle and is always first
in line in the organisation of the hotel's communal life.
