Character and Identity Work in progress
One of the main characters of identity is belonging. That's why I feel trapanesedentro.
But if I have to retrace my roots, I can not lie to myself and I am even more immediate call me "Sanpitraru ...
The "St. Peter's ward" or "Casalicchio" is the oldest in the city of Trapani. The first settlement of the city settles, in fact, where he now insists the course Italy and eighteenth-century church of San Pietro. Around the twelfth century. BC Sicily was inhabited by Sicilian East, and West by the Sicilians, and before that had been inhabited by the Cyclops Lestrigoni, as told by the Roman historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus.
More importantly, however, is that the first Trapani were surely the people of that strip of land between January and XXX square via Scarlatti, or is the current District San Pietro. Then
Trapanesedentro always, but more "sanpitraro true." Telling the story St. Peter's district is in fact telling the story of Trapani, the Roman invasions, the domination of "foreign" - not by chance, you know where the Giudecca in Trapani? - The port, the fishermen, the sea and Trapani, men and women.
As the story of Lucrezia. When we were kids and we played through the narrow streets of the neighborhood between the port (the docking area of \u200b\u200bthe hydrofoils really) and the church of San Pietro, I was not aware of being immersed in a bubble of noise and activity of other times between the din of modern society, cars, bureaucrats Trapani.

Even then this was not the charm and today, unfortunately, most of that time, our beloved neighborhood, the place where I grew up in a state of cultural decay and squalor that afflicts too many years - many more than what do you think - or in spite of "the face" of those "San Pietro" live for decades and have wounds in their hearts and the echo of the stories of parents who tell of a vital neighborhood, full of children and flourishing activities . Perhaps this
why are so nostalgic when I write about Trapani. But membership is set and shape the identity of the person to be.
points shaping the character, temperament, feelings. The parents named their children, give identity.
It's time to rediscover our roots, our origins, what we have or have had in common in order to resume sharing, to search for values \u200b\u200bthat are necessary for life in common and that it will be increasingly in the future of global civilization inhabited by Internet users and the "born digital", which - like it or not - we and our children.
