... There will be joy to have come to know and to follow their example.
Silvana Verga entrust the writing of the memory of our "first" member Peppino.
Association Other Future
Peppino I met about a year ago, about this time I knew it was was mayor of my town, but the neglect of the substantial things of local militant politics until a few years ago, I was deprived of his attendance, and many other people I got to know them all. The first impression I had was that of a person's acute political intelligence, knowledge of the end of the law and administrative rules that govern the life of our local community. A person, in short, in front of which the first instinct was that of intellectual admiration, almost a kind of unattainable example for me, I was taking the path of political commitment from such a short time and at a time so different.
It took very little to discover the true essence of a man whose political experience was following the true nature of its objectives, not preceded them. Gradually revealed, as behind the formal end of political discourse, a gentle man in his strong personality, capable of the positions of as many honest but stubborn retreat when he saw the force of reason others. Give up their weapons, without compromising its undisputed prestige only exclusive privilege of great men. of him I remember the pure political passion, without compromise or mediation due to the fact that he was, for a major of his life on the winning side, his ability to get angry again, sharing the same bitterness in my moments where I had hoped the effort to cross our times. As a wise man who will never resign themselves to the easy cynicism and fatalism.
I also want to remind me softly, without the rhetoric so foreign to him, his generosity so simple and so far out, he did open his home to the world without ever falling into compassionate charity, especially one that meets the needs of those who does it matter to the recipient. With a natural sense of universal humanity. I will be the last phone call with his jokes about each other's delicate health condition now compromised, always careful not to cause discomfort or embarrassment, always light and intense as an old child.
Hello and Peppino, as he wrote one of the friends who shared with us this season commitment, we would all be poorer in, if you had not known.
