SAN CIPRIANO D'AVERSA - Nel cuore di San Cipriano D'Aversa, comune di 13mila abitanti della provincia casertana alla ribalta delle cronache nazionali come avamposto con la confinante Casal di Principe del clan camorristico dei "Casalesi", l'oasi di legalità costituita dalla "Nuova Cucina Organizzata" raccoglie i frutti sani del proprio lavoro e pianta nuove radici di speranza nel territorio. L'Nco, inaugurata il 1 agosto 2007, è la storia di una doppia scommessa vinta figlia di una lucida e creativa follia: aprire un'attività commerciale (un restaurant) out of the underworld and take control as working members of the "mad". In application of Law 180, better known as Basaglia, the Cooperative Agropoli (already active in the social / health) has realized the project of integration of children with mental illness in the staff operating the pizzeria.
The eyes are bright and the voice of Peppe Pagano, manager of NCO, cracking with emotion and fatigue when it tells us a commitment that non-stop, which has nothing haphazard or emergency. "Down with the head and work like crazy. And 'useless to think of changing the world, unless we change. We were stunned by this success, for example with the delivery service Pizza at home: the first was not anyone in San Cipriano, along with the exponential improvements of the boys. Was also the fundamental contribution of Franco Rotelli, friend and collaborator Mark Levy MD, as director of the psychiatric ward of the hospital of Aversa.
The restaurant is an example of a clean economy. A point of reference for the eager sanciprianesi write a different story of a land devastated by the criminal power and prestige of the institutions by the absolute lack of timely negligent. A success factor is the extensive network of collaboration built on the cooperative relationship with the territory from Free (many of the ingredients used arrive in the kitchen dalla produzione di Libera Terra nei beni sottratti alle mafie). Il locale è diventato una tappa fondamentale per le centinaia di giovani volontari che d'estate affollano i campi di lavoro nei tanti beni confiscati alla camorra nella zona.
La cucina dei "matti". Nel caldo torrido estivo lo spicchio di giardino dell'Nco, per un gioco di incroci tra pieni e vuoti dei palazzi adiacenti, regala il punto più fresco di San Cipriano e gustarsi i piatti tipici dell'ottima cucina locale a prezzi congtenuti è ancora più piacevole. Il cinquantacinquenne Romualdo Affuso è uno dei simboli di questa rinascita collettiva. Lo staff della Coop Agropoli l'ha tirato fuori da un ospizio per anziani dove era stato confinato senza alcuna strategy of social integration. Today it has an employment contract, he receives his salary regularly, make savings on its postal account. In the squares of the country is no longer seen as a "a waste". On 28 May, the mayor, he was awarded honorary citizenship as "a professor of life."
This gesture as formal in the town of Antonio Iovine, the top boss of the Casalesi and super-fugitive for 13 years, is the tangible recognition of the change taking place. The environment in which it arose and lives the NCO is not easy. Last February on a Modigliani, a mile and three-minute drive away from the restaurant, was arrested in a house Corrado De Luca, collar White clan and right arm O'Ninno Iovine. The reading of the minutes or the simple press releases related arrests returns the context of a violently archaic social system based on virtually unbreakable family ties. The commitment of the judiciary and law enforcement is producing important results in terms of repression. But the real victory, as pointed out by Pagano Peppe referring to the words of Paolo Borsellino, can not be entrusted to "a separate work of repression, but a moral and cultural movement that involves everyone."
Via Ruffini's challenge. Thanks to the profits made from the restaurant, over 40 thousand euro in the last year, from July 10, 2009 the Cooperative has Agropoli taken over the property with adjoining land confiscated from the boss Pasquale Spiert being Ruffini. In the villa there is already living with a group of disadvantaged children and is the seat of the band Land of Don Peppe Diana. The pr oject
also foresees the creation of a leisure center with a theater, a recording studio and a music web radio. Meanwhile, after the renovation work has begun to populate the good of the many street children spontaneously sanciprianesi. A ball that starts rolling on the grass rather than asphalt. A set of rules to follow. Valuable help with after school, in the face of the failure of the education system: the rate of loss touches the 25% (more than twice the national average). The facility has hosted the Festival of the civil and in August took place the warp and education in the legal field with young people from all over Italy. Here is the quiet revolution dreamed Don Peppe Diana. (Photo by Michael Docimo)
