Being away from home is not easy. As exciting and fun as life in another city can be, you have to deal with many things but many young people, myself included, gather the courage - and the clothes, and the shoes, and the books - with both hands and decide to start. At the exact moment they cross the threshold of the house, we know that our hearts will be broken into several parts but nothing will stop us from putting them back together.  

Fuorisede - A boy leaving with a suitcase

Dear out of office, when you go south you cry twice: when you arrive and when you leave

Of problems, al South, we have many. It would take hours to list them, yet we can't help but thank our roots. In the suitcase, we pack a bit of everything: from dialect somewhat accelerated, from our perennial delays to appointments, to immediate familiarity with strangers. Imprinted in our hearts remain the landscapes steeped in memories, the stupid things we did with friends and family lunch. However bad or beautiful life may have been up to then, a part of our heart is out of place poignant leave it.

When we return it will all be there waiting for us, the bed with the same blankets, the toothbrush where we left it and the glasses always breaking. Still, we know it will never be the same again. We will be changed.

The off-site and the bela madunina

The favorite destinations of the out-of-towners are Milan, Bologna, Turin or Rome. The biggest fear that assails young people after leaving home is: how cold will it be? We bundle up like Toto and Peppino when they arrive in Milan, fearful of the cold as well as of not finding it familiarity of a house. Yet, the time has come to dispel this myth. Living in a northern city, we will begin to build a new experience, a new life and a new version of ourselves. Not only do we find many other kids who live in the same condition as us, but we will realize that in the North they are not so different from us.

Apart from a few apericena too much and the lack of fat southern food, we are all united by the good fortune of living in a country with great potential. And, perhaps, when we return home for the holidays, we will feel a little that we have left something behind North part.

The off-site: citizen of the world

As our network also shows and as history also tells, Italians have always lived in different parts of the world. America, Germany, Argentina, England. Our home is everywhere, our habits everywhere, our soul is a set of experiences. The off-premises will be able to leave a piece of heart in the South and one in the North, but as soon as we understand that these places leave something to us, everything will change. We will bring with us all that Italy has given us, from our roots to its teachings, helping to build a better world, as its citizens and we will no longer be a part of everything, but all on the same side, to know and experience us. themselves and the world around us. Welcome and be welcomed, help and be helped, because we are all part of the same network, that of humanity. All that remains is to take the suitcase.
