PALERMO – Carlo Nordio arrived in Palermo on Saturday on the last of the three days of the conference organized by Global Kindness Movement (godmother Natalia Re, Italian president) in full media storm. His presence in the splendid room named after Piersanti Mattarella, on the second floor of the Palazzo dei Normanni, seat of the Sicilian Regional Assembly, made us think that those two hours spent between applause and – indeed – kind words, were useful for him to rest a little ‘ from the stress caused by the controversy that erupted in the aftermath of the decision of the Court of Rome which did not validate the decree of detention of 12 migrants in Albania in one of the highly questionable centers for asylum seekers built by Italy.
Those unkind adjectives. However, the stress of having to respond harshly to the judges in Rome, on behalf of the government, was caused by him himself, given that – before arriving in Palermo – he did not spare himself in very unkind adjectives to define the sentence as “abnormal” and “overwhelming”. All this, forgetting – or ignoring, go figure – that the Court of Rome has only done its duty in adapting to a recent sentence of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which refers exactly to the category of people who Italy would have liked to send him to the Albanian prison centers.
Nordio’s speech, tall and cultured on Kindness. As a shelter from all this, Minister Nordio spoke in the Mattarella room and made a high, cultured and truly kind speech, associating kindness – to be expressed in various areas of social life – with humility, the fundamental prerogative of those who he knows how to discover its limits of everything. A prerogative which, however, is not accompanied by surrender, but finds its roots in knowledge, in culture, in a relationship directly proportional to modesty and, ultimately, wisdom.

The graft in the life path for those who are about to enter Malaspina. During the days of debate and discussion on the topic of Kindness, we had the opportunity to meet those who have made this idea of politeness, and not only formal respect for others, their reason for professional life. Giuseppe Ciulla, director of the Office of Social Service for Minors (USSM) in Palermo, is one of these people. He is the head of a Minisero structure in via Arenula which is activated by the Juvenile Judicial Authority when, following a complaint, a minor perhaps aged 14 enters the criminal circuit and risks ending up in a penal institution for minors, Malaspina. |
The gentle disruptors who offer ways out. The Ciulla Office accompanies the boy (or girl) throughout the penal process, offering ways out, triggering a growth process. “The people who work in our office have the attitude and intention of creating gentle disruptions in the lives of these kids, putting them at a crossroads: on the one hand the judicial path that would end up taking them to prison; on the other, some ways out, of self-awareness, of choices linked to aspirations which, we must know, in certain unfortunate lives do not even have time to be imagined, much less followed”. USSM interventions on children along the criminal circuit continue until the age of 25, for crimes committed between the ages of 14 and 18.
