The present political, social and economic conditions in Italy are becoming less and less attractive for young people willing to live and work with dignity in their home country. The ruling class's dearth as well as the wide popular indifference blended with xenofobian outbursts of rage are slowing down national processes of growth and emancipation. Going against the stream is extremely complicated when the system itself seems to be sadly compromised. That's why it is important to support those challenging the imperative rule in favour of promoting action and dialogue. In this regard, a group of Italians living in Barcelona is organizing a very interesting event, called LoSbarco, which is taking place the 25th June 2010 in the waters between Spain and Italy. A cruise boat filled with Italians living abroad, mainly in Europe, will sail from the port of Barcelona to arrive in Genoa the 26th June. The idea is to ironically reproduce the landing of those 1000 Garibaldians that in 1860 led to the conquest and unification of Italy. The goal is to express the discomfort floating over who escaped Italy's mediocrity and take Italy back. At the basis of the project there's the will of making people aware of the real causes and consequences of departures, which are not solely related to politics but also to a broaden sleeping sense of community. LoSbarco has been created to wake young generations up and make them react to put the basis for a more fruitful future in Italy. A civic, peaceful sea-trip, including concerts, artistic performances and seminars held by professionals and academics, will finally give voice to those speaking up against widespread mafia culture, machismo, ignorance, arrogance, lack of valorisation of talents and merits, precarious works and nepotism, i.e. the main Italian faults driving people to leave the country. The project, already supported by a good number of relevant Italian artists, is going to be the first example of trans-national meeting organised outside Italy calling for participation from all over Europe. Around 45 euro’s will be asked per person to take part in the event; further forms of self-financing are going to be organised, through subscriptions and festivals, so that even those who are facing economic difficulties (students, unemployed, families ...) have the opportunity to participate. Once in Genoa a welcoming-committee will introduce the travellers to the city and the foreseen places to sleep for one night. The day after, Sunday 27 June, a meeting/manifestation will be organised in the main square of the port, as well as the return of those living abroad. Brussels and Athens are participating in the initiative through the actions of local Committees created by Italians interested in taking active part in the organization process. Those cities interested in contributing to the outcome of the event should just check the website www.losbarco.org That could be the right moment to implement one of the most interesting and fascinating projects of recent times based on transnationalism. Let's hope it will hit the mark.
