Silvia Romano and that tenderness that makes us optimistic for the future

After 18 endless months filled with unimaginable pain and respectful silences, the day of the return has arrived and it seems a miracle. No one knows what Silvia has been through in all this time, no one dares to imagine it because it is too much to think about, it is immoral even to believe that he can know what this young woman has seen, felt, experienced and perhaps is better this way.

Silvia Romano arrives in a different Italy of what he left as a mirage, like one of those happy ending movies that never happen in real life and brings with it the freedom that Italy seems to be losing right now. In a country like ours where we feel suffocated in our garden houses, the return of this girl is The example of how everything is relative and how much the natural, the human, the selfishness of us all leads us too often not to look beyond the nose.

Silvia maybe not heroin, does not even deserve that superficial adoration of strangers that too often spreads in a society that talks a lot and thinks a little less: Silvia is and should be an opportunity to make us aware that there is a whole world outside our windows that runs fast and does not wait for anyone, which can be as cruel as it is surprising, that often our dreams they take dangerous directions, but they are not worth pursuing.

Silvia, like many others, pursued her dream, with that courage and ingenuity of those 20 years old in which one feels capable of changing the world and everyone, no one excluded, has the duty to remain silent in front of such a pure soul locked in such a small body.

For all those who “She went looking for her”, “They brought her home with our money”, “if she stayed at home it didn’t happen”: yes, Silvia went to pursue her future, which was reserved for her a tremendous surpriseShe tried to go beyond those ethical and cultural limits that we usually all comfortably fight from the sofa, she went with that load of fear mixed with adrenaline and no, it does not matter how and how she returned to Italy, because in the face of a story like yours counts only the humanity of a daughter coming home after a long and exhausting journey.

Silvia is what Italy needed, now as never before, she is the example of that generation that often seems confused and opaque but who is actually the bearer of that tenderness and those ambitions that make us all a little more optimistic about the future.

Silvia had a dream that was ripped from her without justice and without asking her permission, Silvia fought against hell with the arms of a little girl, Silvia will not forget, because you can not forget the fear that takes your breath away but deep in her heart, perhaps, there is still that desire for hope in a better worldThat generosity to give without asking for anything in return, perhaps in Silvia’s eyes that fire of life that someone has tried to put out will still burn.

Silvia will surely shine again, maybe not today and not even tomorrow, but when she does she will understand that all her pain it will not have been Useless and that his journey, full of passion and goals, is still a long way to go.
