caption_attribution_description: English: He's probably the person with the most interesting hobby I've ever seen. Mr Flavio Mari is the best example of a life devoted to his passion and its city. He spent a life time to fulfill is biggest passion: bicycles. He proudly shows us his precious collection: over 100 bicycles of all times and sizes. Our visit was like jumping back in time and touching pieces of history. These antique bicycles I had seen only in books and on television.

context_page_description: Keeper of the Meaning is a stage of adult development which involves the "conservation and preservation of the collective products of mankind". This stage was developed by George Vaillant in 1993 and added to Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, between generativity vs. stagnation and integrity vs. despair. This stage covers the ages of 60 to 75. Vaillant contrasts keeper of the meaning with rigidity.
  Vaillant stresses that wisdom is a central part of the keeper of the meaning stage. Where generativity focuses on the care of individuals, keeper of the meaning is less selective and focuses on wisdom and justice.
