The two “ships of legality” depart from Civitavecchia
and Naples . Students,
teachers, politicians, associations, citizens on board.
All together against the Mafia.
To discuss, to listen and remember, in order not to forget.
Once in a while, everybody at the same level, sailing together side by
side.
The crisis and ethics: an ethics of crisis against the courage of memory,
of ideas that survive. Justice, dignity, responsibility: words that are the
foundation of democracy. Sharing the risk, finding the courage to make a
choice, hoping for a change.
Being, all together, that change.
Do not be afraid to be afraid.
Living life to the end, do not waste even a moment .
Andrea is eighteen years old: his dream is to become a journalist, and
has the courage to write .
Sara is twelve years old: she wants to be a waitress and has never been
afraid.
Melissa was sixteen years old: that day she was going to school. And
wanted to live.
Giovanni was fifty-three years: he was a magistrate and, like all other
men, was afraid.

“You haven’t killed them : their ideas walk on our feet ."
Green, white and red balloons flew up in the sky .
Flags at the wrists, banners in hand: we go.One, ten, a hundred steps
towards Falcone’s tree.
Crying out loud, without fear.
“Men come and go, ideas remain.
They will stay alive with their moral tension
and continue to walk on the legs of others"
- Giovanni Falcone-
