In an era in which institutional communication often passes through formal channels, sometimes it is a simple poetic message that captures the attention of a mayor. This is what happened to the mayor of Angri, Cosimo Ferraioliwho chose to publicly share one of the many messages received in these hours of bad weather.
On a Friday of heavy rain and gusts of wind (with the orange alert issued for tomorrow), an Anglo student decided to write an original plea to the mayor, asking him to close the schools for the safety of the children. The message, constructed in the form of poetry, was so appreciated by Ferraioli that he decided to publish it on his official channels, accompanying it with a personal comment.
“Among the many messages that are reaching me in these hours, the one you see below deserved to be shared with you,” wrote mayor Cosimo Ferraioli on social media. “Dear F., you surprised me and I appreciated it very much! It was precisely your constant going to school that gave you the opportunity to write in this original and poetic way. So guys… …schools open tomorrow!“.
Despite the young man’s poetic and funny appeal, the mayor decided not to close the schools, but the message was received with sympathy and irony by Ferraioli, who recognized the importance of creativity and scholastic commitment. The dialogue found widespread prominence on social networks, prompting numerous comments of appreciation for the mayor’s light-hearted but attentive approach.
Here is the complete text of the message that the young man sent to mayor Cosimo Ferraioli:
“O Cosimo, Cosimo,
bold mayor,
close the schools, it’s time
of peace!The wind howls, the rain
he lashes out,
children and teenagers, it’s better at home
stay in battle.Protect the city, wisely
Attention,
one day at home is there
right decision!
Raise the alert, stop the path,
let us rest, oh dear
Cosimo divine!”.
