Are Crips And Nortenos Allies

Goffredo Fofi Letter (February 28)

I have knowledge of a Pilin Gigliola Venturi, who had set up a network of support to the activities of Danilo Dolci in Sicily ..

nineteen-I just graduated from elementary school teacher came down peacefully from Gubbio in the barracks of one of the poorest places in Italy of the time, Cortile Cascino, a suburb of Palermo, I had a network of protection that I use for a long time first there, then to Rome when studying in the school social worker of the Olivetti Cepas, then when I went to Turin attracted by the sirens of the work (Panzieri Notebooks and red) but even more by the myth of the Resistance. By Gigliola Pilin, my third sister and protector was thanks to them, Ada Gobetti, and with her Bianca Guidetti Serra. A nice group of women, whose names should add others, now forgotten by most, such as Luisa Carlo Levi's sister. Friendship with Pilin, and later with Marcel, with Ata, with Paul, was a milestone in my life for years. And if I was certainly intrigued by the opportunity to learn through him some northern bourgeoisie (thanks to Pilin met Camilla Cederna, who also became my friend, Giovanni Testori, Giulio Bollati and many others) I was much more than just its human quality, its availability to the next, the kindness, gentleness of his humor. Ata remember certainly the misfortunes of Pilin with that poor man named (really!) Poor Bartholomew and how she told her. Or the complex vicissitudes in relations with the family of Titidda a partinecese in Turin with many immigrant children, but suffers from a very macho husband, who was part of that group of immigrants from the South we welcome into the attic which I shared with Sandro Sarti near Porta Nuova. Marcel's patience was then something of great tradition, especially in the turbulent years after the '68 ... Pilin And, with its apparent fragility, it was a column. She and her family were a part of my life, but also a beautiful episode in the life of Turin, in years of great, unique hopes, of which it is permitted have a deep nostalgia.

There are close to you and hug your
Godfrey
