(In 1978 he took part with a list has the symbol of Proletarian Democracy in municipal elections in Cinisi). It's been 31 years
dall'anniversario death but its history can not and must not be forgotten, Peppino and will continue to live in our daily struggles against a criminal power. Danilo Dolci sriveva in human Poem-a collection of his poems-"Those who panic when they hear revolution has perhaps nn capito.Non ignite a revolution in the town hall or register cards to go to jail stupid pretext of reinforcing the enemy [. .] revolution is taking patience wise cn meet the essential relationship between land and sky men: the missing human atoms become new bodies and fight against every rotten mafia. " From the writings
Peppino: "I came to politics back in November of '65, on purely emotional: that is, starting from my need to respond to a familial condition which has become unsustainable. My father, head of the small clan and a member of a larger clan with ideological connotations typical of a late-farm and pre-industrial civilization, had concentrated all his efforts, since my birth, in an attempt to impose on me his choices and his code of conduct. It 'only been able to cut each channel of affective communication and finally compromise any possibility of linear expansion of my subjectivity. PSIUP landed with the anger and despair of those who, at the same time, wants to break everything and seek protection. We created a strong core of youth, we founded a newspaper and a movement of opinion, we ended up in court and in all the papers. PSIUP I left two years later, when authorities of the Youth Federation was dissolved. Those were the days of the Cultural Revolution and "Che." The '68 took me almost unawares. Disorderly students participated in the struggles and the first occupations. Then accession nce again on a more emotional and political, for the arguments of one of several Marxist-Leninist groups, the League. The struggles of Punta Raisi and the extraordinary mass movement that has managed to build around. E 'was also a period of disputes over the party and its design and construction of the party: a moment of extraordinary and fascinating process of theoretical study. At the end of year membership to one of two sections, the majority of ICP ml .- the need for a minimum of organizational structure behind (in need of protection) has been very strong. Past, with unbroken continuity from phases of dark despair to elation and moments of real creative power: the construction of a vast movement of opinion among the young, the proliferation of party headquarters in the area, the first experiences of struggle of the district, were there to prove it. But I increasingly distanced from reality, it became increasingly difficult to establish a linear relationship with the outside world, I always contains more in myself. I characterized increasingly a great fear of anything and everything and at the same time almost uncontrollable desire to open myself and build. From month to month, from week to week, it became increasingly difficult to recognize. For days I did not speak with anyone, then I returned to rejoice, to repeat: I lived in a state of uncontrollable schizophrenia. And he butchers the first warnings and the first suspension from the party. I was also moved to a. Another place to conduct business, but I could not resist for more than a week: I was also proposed to move to Palermo, the Shipyard, a bit of closeness to the class would have helped. They were right, but rifiutai.Mi then dragged for a few months, in the grip of alcohol, until the spring of '72 (Feltrinelli and murder of campaigning for parliamentary elections). Ader, with the enthusiasm that has always characterized the group's proposal of the "Manifesto": I felt the need of institutional guarantees me butchers only disappointment of the election defeat. They were months of disappointment and disengagement: I was, in fact, out of politics. Fall '72. He began his activities at the club Palermo in October, we adhere and give my contribution. I approach "Lotta Continua" and the process of critical review of previous positions spontaneistiche, particularly in relation to advice, a problem that particularly fascinated me was the thesis of the "Manifesto" I know Mauro Rostagno: it is a central episode in my life in recent years. I subscribe to "Lotta Continua" in the summer of '73, I attend almost all meetings of school boards organization, or shake more and more relationships with Rostagno: is for me a mate that gives me security and safety begin to open myself to his libertarian positions, I approach the problem renudista. It starts with the political initiative in Cinisi, opens a home and gives rise to that wonderful, though very partial experience of organization of the building. The winter is cold, my despair is warm. Parto military is the period which are very short, the thermometer of my emotional state: alive 110 days a constant state of anxiety and a prey to the most incredible persecution mania. "
Some poems by Peppino
" Long is the night
and timeless.
The sky full of rain
does not allow the eyes to see the stars.
will not be the icy wind
to restore the light,
nor the crowing of cocks,
nor the cry of a baby.
too long and the night,
timeless
infinite. "
" My eyes are lying on the seabed
in the heart of the algae and corals. "
" Sit quietly and stood
close
pincer between heaven and earth, and his eyes
fixed into the abyss. "
" It came to us a clear-eyed teenager
and fleshy lips,
our youth
consumed in the country and in brothels.
not say a word nor made any gesture:
this silence and this immobility
opened a mortal wound
worn in our youth. Nobody
revenge:
our pain did not testify. "
