Stories and News No. 721 While most of Italy debates and anguish before the feared hashtag #We_Are_Coming_O_Rome , in the world that remains life continues. Most often must, otherwise the fridge remains empty. This paradoxical composition of existences moves my imagination to the following story... Once upon a time there was an island. On the island there were two tribes. The two tribes were different. There is little to add. Being different, they lived in a dissimilar way. One had chosen the highest point of the island. The top of the mountain. And not for the sake of the good air. The above inhabitants did not choose high places in obedience to the passion for something, but the fear of it. And where is terror to influence your heart’s beating, rather than the interest in something new, there is no space to relax. Hard to do, when you spend most of the time both eyes fixed on the horizon. Awaiting the inevitable arrival of him. The frightening enemy invader. On th...

Stories and News No. 711 Strange time in France, these days. I read that in Nice a son of Muslim parents 8-year-old boy was detained by police for the crime of 'backing terrorism'. It seems that he refused to say in chorus with his teammates the famous phrase Je suis Charlie (I am Charlie). Then he declared to 'stand on the side of the terrorists'. Despite the disappointment of the parents, the school has sued him. Violating a sacred children’s right... Eight years. Eight year old I can. Eight years old I cannot be Spiderman . Because I do not like spiders and cobwebs. Or just because I woke up so. Eight years old I can accuse the Fantastic Four to be cowards. Because it is easy to make the braggarts. As Four . The same for the Avengers . By the way, avengers of what? We should first understand who began. The war. Eight years old I can feel unsuitable in a school of magic where all is already decided. A presumptuous hat comes and a moment after ...

Stories and News No. 595 Let’s bury all Another case Trayvon Martin in the USA, that is how many newspapers have started the news. The problem is the adjective another. Jonathan Ferrell was 24 years old and was killed by a police officer who shot 12 times. What was Jonathan sin? He thought of having the right to ask for help after a car accident. Oh, I forgot one thing, sorry. Jonathan was African-American. In a video message, his mother said: "I do not want to bury my son. My son should bury me..." However, he is gone. So it goes. Well, if this grave must have a sense, let’s fill it as it deserves, once and for all. We buried a guy with infinite lives ahead, since many possibilities were waiting for him on the horizon. But with him, let’s bury the idiocy of the newspapers, the television, the cinema too, and also the books, when painting the black with the most mendacious captions. Bad, dangerous, dishonest, enemy, to be feared and rejected. Let’s bury w...

Stories and News No. 253 The war - because this is it - between police and demonstrators near Naples, in Terzigno , is becoming more fierce. The first video I saw left me speechless. Not because I am particularly vulnerable to human violence. It always impresses me, but because I believe that in difficult times as now our country needs more than anything else collaboration among people. The opposite of what happens in many other parts of Italy too. I will not get into details of the rubbish problem in Campania. In my humble opinion, the story is so complex, with so widespread and cross-cutting accountabilities; it can not be faced with a single post. However, stopping my attention to the actual issue - the placement of trash landfills near wonders of nature as the Vesuvius National Park is, I could not resist to take a look at what might be at risk. Of course, the garbage problem mainly concerns people’s health more than natural beauties, but I believe that zooming my blog on a spa...

Stories and News No. 211 Yesterday in Rome we had yet another demonstration of what kind of country we have become. The Committee 3e32 , L'Aquila coordination network, had organized a manifestation in July 7, 2010, to bring to the streets the following demands: We first ask for the suspension of all taxes and charges, the freezing of loans and a series measures to support employment and the economy. I also read on the site of the promoters that there was great participation, by local and national organizations. Associations, political parties, committees, companies, municipalities and institutions like the University of L'Aquila and the Archbishopric. Like most of you know, the procession was stopped by the police. Consequently we saw another clash between officers and protesters, with three persons wounded. The news was obviously on the front pages of all media. As always, every newspaper tends to give a personal version of the facts. The absolute objectivity does not exist, ...

Stories and News No. 175 Life is not fair and who has lived enough perfectly knows. However, sometimes I see something unusual, even in our country. It so happens that the perpetrators of the violence suffered by many young people on the Diaz school, in July 2001 during the G8 summit in Genoa , have some names. Not all, some, but in these days is a lot. Francesco Gratteri was sentenced to four years. Vincenzo Canterini to five. Giovanni Luperi to four years. Spartaco Mortola to three years and eight months. Gilberto Caldarozzi three years and eight months. Are they actually guilty? Are they the only people that have to pay or maybe there is still someone else? I don’t know, I don’t certainly have any right to judge. Nevertheless I want to stay on the positive and I advice Berlusconi government to do the same. It’s true that this ruling opens once again a dark spot at the very least discussed management of the 2001 summit, but these sentences free prominent job positions that this...

Stories and News No. 168 Mala tempora currunt , the Latins said. It means bad times are upon us . In my opinion, despite the black background of this blog, I am not a pessimist nor nostalgic. I don’t think we live in a so terrible period compared to the past and I know that the years before us have been marked by moments much more tragic, violent and inhuman than now. However, if there is one thing that distinguishes today is that regardless of the seriousness of what happens, we have the impression that nothing changes. Call it a kind of addiction; give it the name you prefer but this almost never being accountable for what directly concerns us is in my humble opinion a modern trademark. I don’t like it… The Story: This is my resignation letter. I resign. No ifs or buts. Because there are no excuses for what happened. There are no personal, family and psychological problems to justify that, there is no reason for such actions. Here we are not talking about a frustration foul over a...
