L'The Municipal Administration is promoting a commemorative day for tomorrow, November 28, dedicated to Gelsomina Verde, an innocent victim of the Camorra killed at the age of twenty-two on November 21, 2004.

The event "A tree in memory of Gelsomina" was born from the meeting of the Youth Department with the association Chi rom e…chi no and the "E. Montale" educational circle of Scampia. The Polis Foundation, the Libera Association against the Mafia, and the Campania Coordination of the families of victims of crime will participate in the commemoration initiative, with the desire to remember Gelsomina by dedicating to her the planting of a tree in front of the mural.
An important moment – said Councilor Palmieri -. The Montale school of Scampia has always been at the forefront of transversal education, and over the years we have built together, school administration and associations, many projects, from food education to sentimental education, from legality to creative education. Today the school hosts a nursery created by 'Chi rom e chi no', and the first experimentation of School without backpacks. This further moment confirms that the idea of "periphery" must be transformed because for education and values, the suburbs for us are the center". For Councilor Clemente, promoter of the memory of Gelsomina "The students worked on the storytelling path "Once upon a time there was the Land of Yasmina...", which led to the creation of a mural dedicated to the dreams, rights and desires of children. The mural and a Jasmine tree will be a further sign of care, education and beauty against every type of violence produced by organized crime".
