“In Romagna man has betrayed himself, not nature”. Maurizio Maggiani speaks

The author of “The Courage of the Robin” has been living near Faenza for 10 years: “I moved here to watch the sunrise, people are leaning towards the day that begins, it will be like this even with the flood”

“I have heard that the so-called ecologistsan absolutely improper name and so generic as not to indicate anyone, they say the rivers should return to their natural course, but if that really happened Romagna would no longer exist, the Po delta would begin in Venice and end in Rimini”. Maurice Maggianithe writer of “The Courage of the Robin”, was born 71 years ago in Castelnuovo di Magra, a hill town overlooking the Apuan Alps, between Liguria and Tuscany, but for over 10 years he has lived in Romagna, in the countryside outside Faenza, between towns most affected not only by the flood of 16 May, but also by the more limited geographical one of 3. “I was tired of seeing the sunset and I said ‘I finish my years looking at the sunrise’ and here I really see it, people are all striving for the day that beginsit’s not rhetoric,” he says.
