Translation of varilla

My parents were Italian, but the first language I learned was Spanish, since we lived in southern Spain. Very close to Gibraltar. When I was older, like twelve I moved with them back to Lucca in Italy.
Was that all? I was sure that I had a lot more mistakes, because I did not know how to express myself properly. Maybe I am a natural born talent. I am just kidding. Let me know if you need something else.
I am glad that you accepted my offer. I would like to write letters and emails in English and if you want you can write back to me in German. I want to correct your German and so we will both get better.
