On the body of Ciro the language of tattoos tells how much a man feels and how much he wants to be recognized. Images too grim compared to the slender physique and facial features that make him look younger – smaller – than his twenty-two years. But his body also shows signs of the accident and the beating suffered by his girlfriend’s brother. The left arm blocked by a brace, bruises and scratches all over, a black eye, and it is clear that there was a punch.

When?
“Three years ago, when we met in the Caivano villa”, which is a place in the Green Park, as disastrous as the whole Green Park, and yet for the boys who were born and raised in the Green Park it is a villa as it is villas for those who discover life: a place of encounters, approaches, freedom.

Then you moved in together.
“One month ago. But not in Caivano, in Acerra ».
–
And why?
“Because we wanted to get away from his family. They have always hindered us. They didn’t want us to be together because they said we were two girls. But it’s not true. I am not a female. I was 15 when I realized I was a man, I felt and feel like a man. And Maria Paola has always loved me as a man ».

Your mother understood that too …
Ciro turns to her, who is next to him in front of the emergency room of the clinic where he has been hospitalized for two days, and smiles for a moment. And mother also smiles, Rosa Buonadonna. Who has only this son, raised him without a partner and lives as a peddler in the Green Park. He says: «Children should be welcomed as they are. I have never been against him, even if I admit that at the beginning I couldn’t do it, I didn’t accept the situation. But then I got it. If he had been sick it would have been a tragedy, but not this. He is just like that, and I am on his side ».
–
Together, they say, they have suffered many threats. «They even came to my house – says Rosa -. There were five of them, there was the girl’s brother, the father and other relatives as well. And they threatened me, they said that if my son didn’t leave her they would be angry with me too, they would burn my stall. But I have not made the complaint ». Ciro, on the other hand, did not suffer only threats, even very heavy malice.
–
That hurt …
“Yup. They said that I had infected Maria Paola. They didn’t say it to me personally, but in the neighborhood they kept repeating it over and over. But how can you think of such a thing? And how could he have thought of doing what he did? ».
–
But you can now think of something?
“Nothing, I can’t think of anything. I see no future, I see nothing. Indeed, I think one thing ».
–
What is that?
“I wish I had been there in your place, I wish I was dead and not you. Maria Paola was the woman of my life, and I’m not exaggerating. It was something that had been going on for three years, not three months. We really loved each other ».
–
Have you thought about the funeral? Would you like to be there?
«Of course I would like to be there, I don’t know how I can do it, but I would like to see you again. Then I just want justice. But for her, not for me. “
