Pain In The Pointer Finger And Thumb

Melanie is "only" Melanie

now for some weeks, was set up a FB group that calls for the naming of a street of Trapani to Melanie La Mantia, the unfortunate Trapani disappeared after the tragic parachuting in Ravenna and whose death really aroused much emotion. The initiative already has many fans, about 2000, who organized an online petition to ask the Mayor and City Council of Trapani that the idea can be realized.
A good number of supporters, then. Not me. I do not agree with the proposal, but in no way obstructs or critical.

But I want to express my point of view.

Melanie was, first and foremost. an ordinary girl. Even so, perhaps, special. Trapani, who expressed a desire for life and joy, despite the misfortunes of life. Surrounded by many friends and relatives who loved her.


So, to me - I repeat the very personal nature of my words - is enough "group" Trapani - not Solta - who found a Web site to develop a virtual mourning which took sized towns. Furthermore, it was a way to awaken the feeling of solidarity and we Trapani apathetic and otherwise made itself felt.
course, this is my perspective and not pretend that no one must think like me.

The group - which in the days of research we find Melanie's name and then, after the tragic events, Hello Melanie ... - Was born, and then, as collector of the feelings of Trapani and the Italians who were humanly close to Melanie. There we discussed the causes of events, we remember, we prayed for her, we have dedicated songs, poems and lots of affection.
In respect of our young friend, his family and those who wanted "only" honor his death without exploitation or visions of a party.

why - it seems to me - that the idea of \u200b\u200bdedicating a street to Melanie is to discuss, regardless of the decision that the Directors will take. I was worried about Melanie, but to make a "martyr" would kill her free spirit and above all his life enslaved to ideals of anyone - certainly not all - and probably not even his.

I hope not to offend the sensibilities of anyone and if so I apologize in antiipo. I invite everyone, so to vote in the poll on the right side and express their views. The debate helps us to grow and do not necessarily mean opposition.
