The wall - open letter to Pittsburgh friends

Dear friends / family Pittsburgh,

For all the pictures and the written thoughts Nicest I got from you During my last days there and before, I'll need a wall, to hang them all and have them in my eyes every morning. I still don't have that wall, since, as you know, I'm not sure where I'll be next.

But, more important, I'd need a wall to spread on it all the images of your faces I saved in my mind in all this time, either smiling, laughing or seriously engaged in some conversations or activities. I would also sketch on it the intense moments and experiences I had with each of you, to show everybody else. Again, the wall is not there yet, maybe is waiting somewhere, probably has still to be built.

So I'll have to keep all this inside, for the moment. I know I'll have a hard time trying to express the life I had in Pittsburgh beyond the mere events. As we agreed many times, Pittsburgh grows on you. I want to think it's because of the steelworkers past, so full of real life, which melted into the dynamic cultural activity around Universities, now mixing together many different people.

I'm sure that new exciting things are coming for everybody, but I'll miss this city and YINZ all.
In any case we'll meet again soon, this is certainly just the beginning: as we say, this is not an "addio", but only an "arrivedereci".
I'm not sure somebody said this before, but definitely "Ich bin ein Pittsburgher!".

A hug,
Marco

PS I turned a little bit sentimental during the last days there, so I hope you can forgive me if I went too far.

Il team della mia amica portoghese/belga Ines, phD student qui a Carnegie Mellon (Università rivale con la mia:)), ha vinto una prestigiosa gara nazionale tra Università con una lettera su temi energetici a cui tutti i candidati per la Presidenza US dovranno rispondere. Sono finiti su USA today e non so che altro quotidiano. Qui il link alla pagina dell'Università (con foto), e qui , per chi fosse interessato, la lettera.

Serve il cervello, serve la fede (con la f minuscola!!!), serve che molte cose nella vita vadano per un certo verso, anche se magari non si è poi comunque del tutto soddisfatti. E serve coraggio, cosa che pure non le manca.

Well, just a good example of something that touches us by close enough, sometimes. In the words of the great Miles Gabbanelli, conductive Report, "... and now some good news!

Another father who disappears in this case, a father of the written word - as it was for me Manuel Vazquez Montalban - but also spoken. I think I received guidance from his words, and what could be seen to be the nature of man, with his firmness, his serenity ', his history of partisan.

My memory of Enzo Biagi is not 'tied Bulgarian edict, in which Berlusconi chased' by on television - and Biagi you could certainly qualify as a fierce ideological opponent , which was even more 'fear. The memory and 'that of a journalist, a teacher, her first encounter with the book read, a series of in interview entitled "About her" (I have a different edition from that of the photo).

Certainly the recent events can not but remain in the memory of our generation, in the words of Biagi: "From Rai after 41 years of service they sent me a notice with return receipt. Well, I would do everything I've done. I am always been on the side of those who do not win. "
