"... while I so many people that which has the power and water which has the not me who feels anything but. .. " Rino Gaetano
The following I have "borrowed" from MySpace Giulia ... Unfortunately, the event has already passed ... but I still went to give him space on these pages (WEB!) ... Until a few days ago I did not know Evio Botta, did not even know who he was ... by Evio I learned a lesson that I will in my heart and I will use every time in this society so avidly materialistic, consumerist way (I do my part !!!), so hypocritical (money-family-work, produce, consume crack me !!!), find only a fight with a shred of ideals in the suitcase ... I think what I learned can be more or less translated as: "Only after we lost everything that free to do any thing. ..."
"Evio Botta is a homeless man well known in Rome. 49 years, born in Cuneo, lives in the capital for more than twenty. He began his career as a cook, Later, several events have led to choose the life of a tramp. But do not bum thrown on the floor, on the corner. Poodle feet, square and square fight: he founded the association in 88 "friends", created to find homes for the homeless, and created the University of the homeless and the 'Roll of Barboni Professionals " , in the interests of those who ask alms, issuing a receipt for tax purposes. But Veltroni has also challenged in 2001 by standing as mayor of "the voiceless", a list composed of homeless, evicted, retired to a minimum, part-time workers and disabled, and even adopted a child from a distance, supported by donations from passers-by, sales of its books of poetry and disguises from the ancient Roman Empire. Evio, in short, is an imaginative union of the homeless, a man, but absolutely non-partisan politician. Rome is also known as an artist because Tramp wrote poems, short stories, monologues, which has several times performed at the Teatro Belli. Would it not be a man of letters, or an actor in the academic sense, but it does not matter: the value of what he writes is in the people, events and images that captures its extraordinary sensitivity, even before the words. Evio For twenty years he lived and slept on the street where it happened, preferably in occupied houses. For a year, however, has throat cancer. Last March, he suffered removal of the vocal cords, and as long as he could, he lived in the only dorm "24 hours" of Rome, or in containers. Then her health plummeted: the tumor has grown back another, always at the throat, and began radiation therapy. It 'been a guest Forlanini hospital for several months, since it feeds with a probe from the belly, and we all agree that a container is not considered a suitable site sanitation in his case, but a few weeks Evio is out again. On May 18 the association "I HOLD SMITH" in collaboration with the local organizing sIEVE COUNT "A barrel of life," a concert for Evio support and his battles. By: Rocco Papaleo-Antonio Forcione-JULIAN HINTON-BAND ... AND OTHER SURPRISE GUESTS More than a charity evening will be a great celebration, cheerful and colorful. No rhetoric and piety, just music, HEAT and so much positive energy to give Evio the strength to fight: against the disease that affects and for a house, which has been fighting for ten years. In his story "The Legend of ... 'Evio writes:" [...] Me and my friend steal a smile to people with our jokes. The money we give them, because it made them laugh our victims feel obliged to give us money, without arousing the pity of others asking for charity. " Well these words are pushing "I HOLD BOTTA" and many artists throughout Italy to try to support them with art, humor and warmth, which he sends to those who have always been fortunate to know him.
