Just waking up, opening my Facebook page, I found dozens of posts and links of my friends announcing the death of Vittorio Arrigoni, talks about his performance and described this man who for three years had decided to live in Gaza and remain in that ' Hell, to use his words. Reading his story came to my mind other similar cases, the abduction of two Simon the tragic death of Enzo Baldoni, the many activists, volunteers, physicians, governmental and non-governmental organizations, journalists who have died on the field, in countries unstable, while carrying out their chosen work, aware of the risks that they could run.
Personally, I do not think that the courage, though very important, is the main issue on which to dwell when analyzing these life choices, and I was struck by what he wrote on his blog Giulio Cavalli, Vittorio Arrigoni which defines a 'stateless person who has found the place to be '. In a time when it is a hegemonic narrative that tends to reduce the new Italian emigration to the brain drain, the brain drain, hyper-mobile professionals who move from one country to another in search of better job opportunities, it is important to remember that there is more.
There are many stories of people who are simply seeking a place to stay, where can fully express themselves, and are willing to be there for everything from doing the most menial jobs to risk their lives every day. People who, paraphrasing what he writes about still Giulio Cavalli Arrigoni, leaving for "the will of themselves and feel consistent with the professionalism of those who profess its values in what you find to do every day." Who do not feel the need to write on the forums for Italians abroad, who bring their national identity among the primary sources of their choices, which in fact are "stateless" and participate in social and political life of the country in which they are just because they "feel" that they have to, according to their aspirations and ideals.
Many lifestyle choices would be incomprehensible if you only looked at the grounds of rationality: this applies to early twenties who lives for years in a basement in London sharing a dilapidated flat with a dozen tenants from a restaurant to another working as a waiter in black activist who prefers to remain in hell, "in spite of tempting offers as a tour around Italy with Noam Chomsky." In a time when for Italians abroad, the recurring question when you chat with friends from other countries is "what about Berlusconi?", Often followed by the expression bunga bunga said with a sarcastic smile, those who offer the best picture Italy, the greatest patriots I would say, it is precisely these stateless persons, in whatever field, are committed to keeping its values and ideals, values and ideals that have no nationality.
