In the past I've got to write something about the Gypsy populations living in Italy, too often judged by stereotypes.
Today I learned that yesterday, April 13, 2010, a group Roma went on a pilgrimage in the Cathedral of Turin. Accompanied by Carla Osella
president, came under a heavy downpour in the early afternoon, teenagers, families, a large group of Sinti from Cuneo in Piedmont and Turin giostrai. "To ask us to arrange this pilgrimage - explained Carla Osella - were Muslim women. With us today we are also people who live in squatter camps as long Stura Lazio. " (Article taken from lastampa.it /)the face of news like this one is astonished because we wonder what it could mean a sacred Christian relic for people of Muslim faith, many are angry because they will be considered an act so blatant a provocation, perhaps even in bad taste.
I think if it was a provocation (and no doubt it is), can not be considered in bad taste, indeed it would take one million of such provocations. Unfortunately I do not think that this gesture has yielded impressive, given the little attention given by the news media (I have found out doing some zapping Internautica), however, approve of it and I agree.
