the truth all of us every day
we have to disassemble some prejudices and
then we do a test of sincerity
raise your hand please everyone
that last night
wanting to find out something more about i
Today’s speaker as soon as it started
read my profile said but why

Tomorrow I should go and listen to one
notary a lot of liars why

and then I introduce you to my family
wife flow that here in the first row mine
little girls carla and viola
carla 11 years and viola has eight because
I introduce you to my family because
what I’m about to tell you is not
a solomeo project is a project of
an entire family had a project of
a whole life
I am not a philosopher I am not a
organist I do not do politics are a
normal citizen exactly like everyone
you do not have super powers are not
millionaire and what I’m doing
together with my wife flop and one
community of dreamers founders like
us and try to do our best
to improve the place in which
we decided to live but we do one
step back
we are at boulevard of the hopital we are at
two steps from the jardine the plant e
from the Arab world institute
we are in Paris and 2006 and it is there that
we decide on January 5, 2006 of
rent a small house in Paris
My daughter Carla is just born of 20
days and we have the desire with flo of
live this important moment
for our family all three
together paris is beautiful and time
obviously fast flowing carafes for
take three years and we must decide
where to live our life project
I honestly felt that he was paris
it was just slightly sexier than favara
but my wife, my wife, will not want it
feeling of living chasing c no I
I could not have been a notary in Paris
and so we should have gone ahead and
back
in short, you know how it works in these
cases when husband and wife are not
agreed we decided to return to
we decided to return to favara
but by making a promise we would not be there
complained about what was not there or for
what we did not like we would not have
waited for the head of government the
president of the region or the mayor of
favara he changed life
we would have done everything in it
our possibilities to improve the
our daily to give to carlea
purple and to all the children favara a place
best to grow and above all
to find our place inside
of the community in which we had
decided to live
today I tell you this story that yes
environment this place and is called in
seven courtyards and instead of buying one
villa at the sea or to buy yours
rooms in paris where to go once
the year
we decided to buy these
small and ruins in the historic center of
Favara this place is called seven
courtyards and a small Sicilian casbah e
here the aunts of the natives of the seven live together
courtyards we of farm cultural park e
other friends that little by little and yes
I’m approached to this place is today
I bring you the greetings of Aunt Maria La Aunt
maria more than 80 years
someone said that these seven
courtyards are a small kingdom
and then we decided that aunt maria
and the queen of the seven courtyards
I became the head of government
in the seven courtyards and I live this boy
super muscular with some problems of
justice behind and the head of the
armed forces
but what is farm cultural park
make a point to the parquet a center
independent cultural
here art and culture become one
tool to change the identity of
a city and to give a dimension of
future is a simple and
welcoming is a place where it is
nice to stay and it’s pleasant
come back because one of them changes
it’s always a place where you always meet
someone special
sometimes even someone a bit
too special but it is medication if you do
also the place of knowledge e
education
our most important project is
children only architecture school
for children you think that during the year
last our children have met
more than 50 architects designers
philosophers from all parts
of Italy have also met two
curators and the biennial of Venice with
they design high-rise buildings for cats
here there are francesco cats they did
and design monuments design
gardens and social gardens design lugli
for children for adults even for
Martians and last week we are
been in Rome torpignattara and we have
had the privilege of working with 40
children of 24 different nationalities and
think of the school that was born in Ferrara
a year from a year ago with Poltrona Frau
thanks to the support of armchair frau sta
turning the world
we have been in London and we have
collaborated with dejan on says the
director of design museum in london
in two weeks we will be in Shanghai
and then again in Paris where we will meet
his fujimoto to which we have
dedicated the name of the school of
architecture and then again in Milan to new
york and I must tell you with great pride
that what our people are doing
children to the children of london new
york and even paris can only
dream of doing it but also making it happen in
we take care of teenagers
we have a festival called op
this year the second edition I have
designed with teenagers there
we take care of young talent
we take care of the artists there
we also take care of the people who
we host in our country because I farm
it is not a traditional museum far does not have
a collection of contemporary art
from us the works are often immaterial
intangible, most often ephemeral
what really matters to us and the
value of people passing by
this we use every now and then
the expression museum of people
all this is generated a wave of
incredible enthusiasm a desire to
redemption
a desire to be actors of a
change that has brought so many young people
professional entrepreneurs to give the
their maximum to change this city
hear what they say to them about what
it’s happening
what’s happening is going on in favara
it should happen in every part
a strong sense of solidarity is one
healthy competition a healthy desire
grows in his own city favara not
it is more a country from which you escape from where you are
go away from which you take as luggage and
one emigrates that there was one energy
strong young energy and seems to be
in a place like Berlin 20 expect
never find yourself in the middle
he gave us all the strength of how to say
look in
to create community to ensure that
each of us could give the best of
itself to the most significant change
in trust
of citizens in the confidence to change
things there is awareness and the
force to say it is possible to change
through the hygiene services in the
will that sees in themselves but how
community with citizens
there is someone who touched for cards
of history pages

favara in the past when it was fine was
the city of the Easter lamb the most
of the times in the city of the mafia dei
fugitives of abusivism today favor
become the city of young people from
experimentation of creativity favor
has become a small capital of the
urban regeneration is thought of in a
place where a tourist did not arrive
not even by mistake
today for more than three years and we register
more than 100,000 visitors each was
I believe that everyone has the
feeling the great cities of the world le
The most beautiful cities in the world are born
such as we perceive them do
fatigue actually think that people
exactly like us with two legs and two
a beautiful head have made them
become what are these today
city
and then I strongly believe that cities
candino because people make it
to change
so called it seems a walk of
health we are actually working a
This project is much bigger than us
summer think we also had to
prevent an attack by the bureaucracy
local demolition order remittance in
pristine of five installations of
The contemporary architects had
made a regular request for
authorization had paid only
public thankfully it took was a
simple truck on facebook for
raise a wall to protect us
all the national media have talked about it
and even the public prosecutor’s office
August 15th for August 15th ha
ordered to the same police that he had
put these laps to go and remove them
and to free the pharynx and then you understand
that things can be done and that
it simply depends on us
we who are a little luckier
try to give something back
I am sure that in this room between
these 900 people know a lot of
you who once had the
desire for
something special yet it will be there
been someone who next to you a
a relative , a relative, a friend has me
said no this thing you can not do it is
impossible you can not do it
you know what I say to you they are wrong
and then I want to leave you with a
wish the old one
my wish is tonight everyone
of you may wonder what could
do to make you happy and proud of
yourself thinking about what you could do
for you and for those close to you for i
your children and for future generations
for your city and ours
country and especially that tomorrow morning
