SortI was in Modena al Toilet. It is an invention of Massimo Botturadesigned for his son Charlie and for many boys like him, suffering from more or less serious forms of autism.
The visit started very badly: I embraced the first young man who happened to me in front of meand he replied: “I don’t like being touched.” They told me that everyone knows it a little, that people with autism cannot be embraced. Yet they were very affectionate.
The tortellating is called that why The boys learn to be tortelli, who then end up in Bottura restaurants – one of the most important chefs in the world – and other places in the Modenese. They are in fact particularly good tortelli.

AND A successful form of cooperation between public and privatethose things that we would all need and everywhere, but who are particularly well in Emilia-Romagna.

Once on TV I had a discussion with Michela Murgia on the issue of treatment. She rightly remembered that it should not only be “a job as women”. Of course not. The cure must be shared: men and women, fathers and mothers. There are careful men and women who are not.
But that women have a particular talent for the care makes them stronger and more suitable for the time that is given to us in fate. A time when the very survival of the human species is under discussion. In which we must take care of human beings and the earth. For decades, the woman has now entered the public sphere, where her cure talent will return to all of us. This is why I feel more peaceful when they make the important decisions are women.
