I Cento Passi

"Did you go to school? Can you count?" "How to count?" "How to count? 1,2,3,4, can you count?" "Yes, I can count" "Can you walk?" "I can walk" "And can you count and walk together?" "Yes! I think so!" "Then come on! Count and walk! Come on... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8..." "Where are we going?" "Come on! Count and walk! 9... 90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99 and 100! Do you know who lives here? A? U zù Tanu lives here!!" "A hundred steps from our house, a hundred steps!" (from the movie "The Hundred Steps" by M.T.Giordana)

He was born in the land of the vespers and oranges, between Cinisi and Palermo he spoke to his radio..
In his eyes you could read the desire to change, the desire for Justice that led him to fight..
He had a cumbersome and respected surname, certainly not honored by him in that environment..
You know where you are born but not how you die and not if an ideal will bring you pain..
"But your life now you can change only if you are willing to walk, shouting loudly without being afraid counting a hundred steps along your path"..
So.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!

"We must rebel" (from the movie)

He could have chosen and left like many, instead he decided to stay..
Friends, politics, the party's struggle.. he ran for elections..
He said he would have kept an eye on them closely, but then he didn't have time because he was killed..
His father's name in the night did not help, the desperate friends never found him again..
"So tell me if you can count, tell me if you can also walk, count, walk and sing together the story of Peppino and the Sicilian friends" So.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps! (x 2 times)

It was the dark night of the Italian State, that of May ninth seventy-eight..
The night of via Caetani, of Aldo Moro's body, the dawn of a state's funeral..
"So tell me if you can count, tell me if you can also walk, count, walk and sing together the story of Peppino and the Sicilian friends" So.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps!.. 1,2,3,4,5,10,100 steps! (x 2 times)

"He's just a mafioso, one of many" "He's our father" "My father! My family! My country! I want to screw it! I want to write that the mafia is a mountain of shit! I want to scream!" (from the movie)
