Don Gallo, with Alessandro Santoro, presented a fine book by Francesca Manuelli" The Piagge. The Story of a district with no history ", in the presence of a large audience and the fasters two today, Julia and Simone, greeted with sympathy by Cynthia , Feltrinelli responsbaile for meetings with authors. No one here has argued, com ' had instead occurred in Common September 21 last year, you can not attend the day wearing signs.
Don Gallo has faced a lot of issues, dall'antifascismo the need to reject neo-liberalism in its entirety, from "dreadful indictment" of pm Andrea Canciani the trial against 25 people accused of devastation and looting to the facts of the G8 in Genoa in 2001.
