Perugia, May 26, 2010
Meet on 2 and 3 July 2010 in Senigallia, on the feast of Caterpillar. We design the way we want to do together. From 16 May 2010 to September 25, 2011 .
Dear friends and dear friends,
after fighting an unequal battle against Jupiter pluvio, you almost want to thank him. See so many people walking calmly from Perugia to Assisi, despite the bad weather has affected everyone. In a time full of bitterness, sadness and loss, it was like rediscovering a lost treasure. The rain has returned the brilliance of the original colors, like a Giotto painting after a painstaking restoration. A treasure. Many people, beautiful, determined and above all true. People who have a different idea of \u200b\u200bpeace and the things we must do everything to build. People strong in their convictions. People who believe in it. And since We really believe we work, committed and spend.
This is the Perugia-Assisi. A surprising start. The march, which once again surprised everyone. Those who have come and feared the consequences of bad weather, those who have snubbed the outset, those who had sworn that we would be few, those who cheered against us, the ones that still go to say around that we were not one hundred thousand, those who did not even deign to come and see, those who saw it and chose to hide it from everyone else.
E 'was great to reunite. And yet in many rediscover. E ' was how full of energy. We will need to continue the journey. With even more courage and determination.
I hope the families of victims and witnesses of so many injustices and violations of human rights, the employees of companies in crisis who have lived with us those moments we gathered all the more authentic solidarity they deserve.
Thanks!
The first "thank you" goes to 5362, before the march, under a pouring rain, attended the Forum of Peace and National Meeting of the schools, "Citizenship and the Constitution" . Boys, girls, teachers, youth, children, local government officials, journalists, leaders of groups and associations committed to three days to listen, share, learn, reflect and plan a country and a better world. Their focus and their commitment, their enthusiasm and their patience showed everyone the way we go.
A big "Thank You" to all those who in one way or another, helped us to design and carry out with passion. Thanks to those who did it in first person their energy. Thanks to the 660 groups that joined to all those who were there with their own projects and their operators and all those who have provided with great generosity and commitment. It 'been a great collective enterprise that will bear fruit.
Thanks to everyone who came to march, to those who organized the bus, meetings with international guests and press conferences, thanks to those involved immigrants, who facilitated the participation of schools and young people.

And again, thanks to the 30 reporters of peace and the whole "great preparation for peace" that has made the direct streeming and many other communication and information. The results of this extraordinary work of communication make it even more unacceptable the shameful way in which the TG1 and major national newspapers have dismissed the Forum of Peace and one hundred thousand of the Peace March from Perugia to Assisi. It 's time to take seriously "the emergency information and to respond forcefully.
