Step inside Milano 25. By night, this taxi carries regular clients around #Florence, Italy. By day, though, it offers free travel between a pediatric hospital and the homes of young #cancer patients. Its soul and operator, Caterina Bellandi, 52, is better known as Zia Caterina, or Auntie Caterina. With a sense of style reminiscent of Mary Poppins, she and her taxi — photographed here by @nadiashiracohen — are one-of-a-kind. “My children may be sick,” she said, “but they can and have to be happy.” In 2007, Caterina drove 1,800 miles to attend a course in clown therapy in Moscow, but she refused to wear a red nose. “I am not a clown,” she explained. “I am a taxi driver. So I do taxi-therapy.” She takes sick kids to shake hands with their sports heroes, and has even taken some to meet Pope Francis. “Some people think I am too much,” Caterina said of her paying customers. But then a couple of people who had been staring at the cheerful cab knocked on her window. “How can we book you?” a young woman asked. “Oh sweetheart, you can’t, but we will meet if it is meant to be,” Caterina replied, honking her car horn, which played “La Cucaracha.” #?
