For Alfredo

It seemed impossible that this moment would come.  Speaking with Alfredo  has always given me the idea of the present, the moment to grasp.  I think many of us owe a lot to the reading of his texts and the long discussions that always left something new. The most crucial thing I learned was always to start from myself.

The large amount of writings and reflections and the huge number of anecdotes and experiences, will ensure that Alfredo remains among us, fortunately, to provide advice and suggestions, to open glimpses and passages but also to raise doubts, make efforts of reflection and imagination, build projects, maintain commitments, equip themselves with tools, destroy cages. Because as he himself said “this is about a method, the anarchist and insurrectional one, but basically it is an experience that we are talking about, not theories that clash or get along. An experience that continues over time and becomes action”. That experience for which at a certain point it is necessary “to close the book”.

There would be many things to say, many things to remember, typical of who has lived their life, of who constantly cultivated projects and proposed analysis. There remains the regret of not being able to still ask questions. But it is up to us now, it would be nice to say, to pick up the baton.

You taught us, like many comrades, the scandal of freedom, and today as in the past it is what is urgent to hear and feel. Your living memory is what you left us and that we will hold on to jealously.

Ciao Alfredo!
