Firenze, 13/12/2011


Na ga def?
Na ga def?
Perchè non rispondi?

Yaye Yaye
aide-moi!

Florence at noon
is shooting hate.

per Lina

Lina se n'è andata,


Per prepararci alla sua assenza
Piano Piano aveva rarefatto la sua presenza


Ma noi che intera abbiamo in mente la sua essenza


Con il cuore
la cerchiamo
a tentoni
nella nebbia

Tunisia still in trouble

http://www.tunisia-live.net/2011/09/03/douz-and-sbeitla-curfews-looting-disorder-and-attacks-leave-one-dead-several-injured/

I have been to Tunisia several times and each time I was there I was struck by the similarities with Sicilian landscape. Of course I also found differences but the most important trait of those holidays was the extreme kindness of people in general and the competence of all those working with tourists. I believe Tunisians have already proved to be good at changing without provoking too much damage. So, I hope these  latest disorders in Douz and Sbeitla will soon find a solution. Hoping for the best I put some pictures of peaceful Sbeitla and Douz.
