Lo avrai
camerata Kesserling
il monumento che pretendi da noi italiani
ma con che pietra si costruirà
a deciderlo tocca a noi
non con i sassi affumicati dei borghi inermi
straziati dal tuo sterminio
non con la terra dei cimiteri
dove i nostri compagni giovinetti
riposano in serenità
non con la neve inviolata delle montagne
che per due inverni ti sfidarono
non con la primavera di queste valli
che ti vide fuggire
ma soltanto con il silenzio dei torturati
più duro d'ogni macigno
soltanto con la roccia di questo patto
giurato fra uomini liberi che volontari si adunarono
per dignità non per odio
decisi a riscattare la vergogna e il terrore del mondo
su queste strade se vorrai tornare
ai nostri posti ci ritroverai
morti e vivi con lo stesso impegno
popolo serrato intorno al monumento
che si chiama ora e sempre
Resistenza.
Piero Calamandrei

« Se voi volete andare in pellegrinaggio nel luogo dove è nata la nostra Costituzione, andate nelle montagne dove caddero i partigiani, nelle carceri dove furono imprigionati, nei campi dove furono impiccati. Dovunque è morto un Italiano per riscattare la libertà e la dignità, andate lì, o giovani, col pensiero, perché lì è nata la nostra costituzione. »
(Piero Calamandrei, Discorso ai giovani sulla Costituzione nata dalla Resistenza. Milano, 26 gennaio 1955)

Sta cominciando il mio viaggio verso i sentieri dei nidi di ragno.

September

Beautiful September. The sun is still hot while the first rains arrive, the great change of nature. We head the cold, we leave behind the fatigue of a year preparing for a new begin.

Viaggi in Emilia

Old country houses sit on the vast flat green fields that surround beautiful ancient cities, filled with history, culture and LIFE. 
This is a series of photos took during my recent trips to the region of Emilia Romagna, exactly in Reggio Nell'Emilia, situated in the north of Italy. There are countless reasons to love such place.

Chasing a Dream. Europe

I have recently read Bilal(unlikely I couldn’t find any English version), written by Fabrizio Gatti, an Italian journalist for the weekly magazine L'espresso.

The book tells the stories of many people who every day risk their life chasing the dream of reaching Europe, no matter how. The price for they dreamed journey is expansive, nearly 2000 € (Euros), which will just pay the trip from the north coasts of Africa to the southern regions of Europe, such money will not include the money payed for the trip trough the Sahara desert and the money stole by the army and the police! Working in all sorts of conditions and fields, even selling water for they fellow dreamers that will start the long trip trough the desert, those people do literally anything that will start their journey…

It’s well known that many of them don’t reach Europe nor the northern coast of Africa, paying the most expansive price, their LIVES. Bilal also talk about the ones who finally arrive in Europe, facing the often very cloudy way to obtain a job and a life.

This is an extremely short description of the magnificent work of Fabrizio Gatti, but also another occasion to speak and remember the brave of those people.

The photos below show the boats which departing from the coasts of Tunisia and Libya, are used to cross the Sicilian channel and reach Lampedusa, also called “the door of Europe”.
