When it happens to touch the topic, all of our customers from Bologna, who live in a city or province, agree on one fact: Bologna is not the city it once was. To hear them, has become chaotic, dirty, insecure and unreliable. In short, a place with all the flaws of the large cities, traffic pollution, from delinquency to the malfunction of any service.
For a long time Bologna was immune from all this and was described as a paesone on a human scale where anything goes, everything worked and we enjoyed very much. Instead, now the Bolognese speak of it as a dear and cherished relative who suddenly has been struck by an accident or illness became intractable, unmanageable and also a lot of shit.
When an event happens in a family like that, who can afford it send the parent uncomfortable in a nursing home or in an "assisted living". Those who can not accept a caregiver to take care of all matters the most annoying and embarrassing, not to mention disgusting.
exasperated I could Bolognese decide to move elsewhere, but it is easy to understand, this alternative is reserved for the privileged few and is comparable to the solution of the "assisted living". Anyone wishing to use the carer what they should do? Hiring someone to go to work or go shopping while they if they are barricaded in the house?
I started making these considerations, after reading the news the infant died of starvation in Piazza Maggiore. The fact in itself is an absurdity atrocious, not only because it concerns a young child and an Italian family, but mainly because it happened in Bologna and I am pretty sure that today all Bolognese wondered: "What has happened to us and this city?"
Bologna and Emilia-Romagna has been for a long time the term of comparison in social welfare policy and administration of local authorities. As of today no longer are, and something tells me that no one is surprised. For several months, a commissioner straordionario occupies the mayor's chair, just like some of those small towns on the Aspromonte or lying on the slopes of Vesuvius or Etna (the same fate, however, is affected in Cattolica, in my province ).
judge without knowing all the facts is never recommended. It is said that the situation of the family was known to authorities and social services and that more than one occasion have been offered aid and assistance to the mother but that they have always refused and the law not allowed to intervene in other ways. It will be so but it is a version that does not conform and does not console anyone.
who can not resort to assisted living or even hire a caregiver is forced to deal with the problem firsthand. You are forced to see things that you do not want to see, you have to dirty your hands a little and a few bitter pill to swallow. It must give up a lot of free time that he had never really understood how to use (watching TV not valid as a response) and above one must begin to live with the thought of someone else's responsibility, 24 hours 24. It is not easy, indeed! But these links: If you are a person we loved him and that he counted at least a little in our lives, not only will hassle and worries. Something back and can be strangely satisfying.
I'm sure there are people of Bologna, which will not remain indifferent to what happened and try to take the good things their city has always had and that one day not too far has lost. How does this country, after all.
