How can I tell you what The Eagle today?
I went to the National Exhibition already informed. Of course, not informed by the traditional media, which obviously have also ignored the event, but those citizens who have lived in one way or another on their skin the earthquake Abruzzo. People like:
Anna, Federico , Marta & Monique , Sabina , 3e32 the Committee and many others .
in his eyes the documentary " Command & Control", the episode of "live" on "The Reconstruction" And, of course "Draquila" by Sabina Guzzanti .
But pictures and movies do not fully describe the situation. On the bus that took us to L'Aquila from Bologna, I heard behind me a boy of 19 years in the province of Varese, to say that we were out of curiosity, why he voted the League, and watching "the news" (Tg2 and Open Studio ) "Berlusconi had done so much" and "The Eagle was ok now." The girl who was traveling at his side watching him rubbed his eyes and asked "... but do not use the Internet for information?" his answer was "mmm .. no, occasionally fishing around at the site of the Official (sports ed.)
I said," I will not tell you anything, but you go down when you paste it to me and follow along with the procession of wheelbarrows. "smile and that air" to trip "that had some, it vanished after a few meters from the start of the parade when we arrived at Piazza D ' weapons.

But among all these things there is an element that for me it was like a punch to the stomach: the windows. Open, open wide to the dark. Beyond those windows could be seen where before there was life, a dark unhealthy death. Windows collected the cold air and rain that fell on him.
Watch those windows dark was set as the hollow eyes of a skull, so many skulls.

Per questo mi permetto di darvi un consiglio: informatevi, mettetevi in contatto con uno dei comitati de L'Aquila e delle zone limitrove e andate a vedere con i vostri occhi e a sentire con le vostre orecchie quello che nessuno può raccontarvi.
La realtà non conosce intermediari.
