| Coat of arms of Ospedaletto Euganeo |
I decided to write of my evening of Friday, in Ospedaletto Euganeo, talking Aquila. Of my emotion, I felt the heat of a special person, Francis, who recently read something about my book about a medical journal and decided to invite me to his country. I could tell of many people simple and involved, the volunteers came to the Veneto Abruzzo. But I can not, because on Friday night I printed in my mind's eyes Ilaria, the daughter of Francis.
I have 17 years old teenager that all pepper says he has no desire to study. "I want to do the job, the study does not like me." And mom, dad, sister maggiore ed io ci guardiamo negli occhi e sorridiamo. Ilaria è rimasta ad ascoltarmi per un’ora e mezza mentre descrivevo la mia città e poi ancora nella sua bella casa mentre parlavo di qualsiasi cosa.
Mi tornano alla mente i suoi occhi vispi, curiosi, ribelli, la sua borsa col computer, la sua adolescenza.

Ieri sera tardi leggevo di una paradossale ipotesi di abbassamento della maggiore età. E ho pensato che Ilaria non lo vorrebbe, perché la sua adolescenza non la si può rubare. La sua ribellione, la sua voglia di indipendenza, i suoi sogni vanno preservati. I suoi e quelli di tutti i ragazzi. Perché tutti ci sentivamo inadeguati a 15 anni, all ugly and put on trial, all imprisoned, all with the desire to break through. And we've made of all colors, not only disobey, but also talking a lot of lies, because our parents would not have approved. Today I know much more than simply the parents would be worried about, being mindful of their adolescence. This is the normal way of life, where the disagreements, the conflictual relationship between generations, new people are born independent. Really.
Adolescence should be preserved even that of the young persons in Cuba, Thailand, Africans who, though culturally different, they would have the same eyes of Ilaria if someone knew to look, without enjoy a trip a few days, for sexual purposes.
It angers me, because 15-16-17-18 years and even beyond, the guys are not asking for a law that makes them adults, are asking the tools to truly become. Even George, the elder sister of Ilaria, wonders what will become of her, of her cultural background, she wonders if her choices are right, and you ask me, to his parents, told his peers and grows.
The outrage is never enough. If you really want to be consistent, we should not be hypocrites. And pretend nothing happened. As if we could not really relates. We should not become judges or justice-we must defend our ability to become. People are not born with the same opportunities, but not to be regarded with different eyes.
tools to live life with dignity, they must give to all.
and dignity can not be explained, or is acquired by ad personam "laws.
