"One evening I found myself writing about an unlived love: a missed reality, in fact. The stories of my father, my mother, my grandparents and all the adults I loved to listen to as a child came back to mind. And the constant was precisely the missed reality, a parallel world where everything is possible, where everything that is a wasted credit, compared to the credit made available that each of us receives at birth, is realized. With the pandemic, life stopped, I felt I had to give meaning to my life and, above all, I had to show my daughters that there was a meaning. So, I dug into my past to find a common thread that would help me understand the present and catapult me into the future. It was necessary to have to pass on to them something that came from my story, becoming their story, and that would help them find the right place in the world” – explains Mimmi.
The events of a small village on the Amalfi coast, with its inhabitants: Don Aniello, who owns almost all the houses in the village; Lucia who dreams of catastrophes and maneuvers passionate intrigues; the child brides who become teachers of love and the young protagonist who, in this seaside village caressed by the north wind, becomes a man and starts a family, until he decides to go away, taking with him some memories and many painful regrets.
Mimmi is the pseudonym chosen by the author from Salerno who, after having lived in Turin for several years, returned to the country of origin of which she writes, but it is also a reference to the name of the father, of the boy, of the protagonist. The stories of her imaginary world, suspended between reality and fantasy, so twisted and tangled, where however one still has the right perception of time, where everything is given its right weight, where the values of respect, loyalty, honesty still exist, where the need for brotherhood is a constant that accompanies one's whole life.
Thus, this manuscript was born, which does not derive from a narcissistic desire, but from the desire to know herself through the story of her grandparents that has marked the life of her parents and that represents the baggage of her genetic heritage.
Caivano – An arrest that brings to light one of the most dramatic pages in Neapolitan news. Yesterday, the Carabinieri snapped handcuffs on Ciro Migliore, a 27-year-old already known to law enforcement, during a drug raid in Caivano's green park. The man, identified as an alleged drug dealer, is the same young transgender man who was the boyfriend of Maria Paola Gaglione, the 16-year-old who died in the accident in September 2020. The tragedy, which shocked the entire community, was caused by the victim's brother, Michael Gaglione. As established in the trial, the man, opposing his sister's relationship, chased the couple on a motorcycle. During the chase, the scooter on which Maria Paola and Ciro Migliore were riding crashed, causing the young woman's death. Michele Gaglione was sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in prison for manslaughter. Yesterday's arrest by the police adds a dark piece to Migliore's story. The military raided his home, finding evidence of what appears to be a well-organized drug dealing ring: among the findings, 10 pre-packaged doses of cocaine and crack, packaging material and a "lmaster book" with initials and numbers, likely the accounts from the illegal sale. €1.675 in cash was also seized, presumably the proceeds of the illicit activity. The September 16th investigation is not the first drug dealing investigation involving Ciro Migliore after the death of his girlfriend; already in February 2021, he was targeted by law enforcement for similar crimes. The arrest closes a tragic cycle, where a family loss is intertwined with stories of deviance and illegality.
