albert einstein said that all
knows that something impossible to
realize until it comes one
fool who does not know and if the
He invented you’ve ever had dreams
I deemed unfeasible since
I had two small I wanted to try to
change the world and dedicate myself to my
greater passion for drawing
express my ideas by joining
these two was born comic book
mafias designed for students
secondary schools as a material
teaching my goal was
to get the boys to inquire for
then actively participate and defend themselves
mafias
it was impossible then maybe I could
It does so inspired by the words of
rita purse john tizian and all
those who had sacrificed to
engaged in combat
organized crime
I decided that I drew a comic
for children with a language close to
their interest for more
the balloon would go into schools
with the aim of giving a jolt to
system to trigger a change
the message I wanted to send was that
with the peak of the commitment of some you
They could tell a thousand minds ones
minds and would therefore
go to stimulate other then
work generation after generation
to build a healthier society and
less corrupt what I would say is
that if we have a dream, a goal to be
to reach
It just needs to make greater efforts than others
to be able to get it is just a
matter of sacrifice and commitment so
working virtually every day
very little spare time I
tried to make the young people report
receipt of the message as clear
possible
so I took the files in the way
Emilia and the West Emilia Romagna things
our
dossier that dealt with mafia
region and has extrapolated them
synthesized and selected a
Communication is easy to understand
a simple structure
This was a process but I
He led to do and redo the tables
constantly because I wanted to make
always best
so I was looking to find images
more and more direct so that it was
more I understood so I was trying to make
faces more expressive and more actions
dynamic because more work
most leave you something in effect
and if the artist succeeds with its
work to convey emotions
then it can bring out the heart of the
reader a strong feeling if this
It happens
the artist has reached its
aim not to make it work
Heavy has entered into the
comic phrases humorous funny
avoided to put in long
school lists instead of giving relief
those most alarming to
the kids understand how how
widespread phenomenon
the kids often have sheets in hand with
date information are dressed to
fashion and have a strong spirit of
initiative
all this designed to involve them
even better the colors are designed to
much of the comic are tables
Black scratched white backgrounds and blacks
in this case dark backgrounds chaotic
represent the immorality of the Mafia
and these are tables that must be ground
plan to clear in those cartoons
where the boys decide to reflect
and to take action characters
are all the cats in this comic
because the boys usually
like animals and never as
at this time there is an explosion of
empathy for pets
the last page is the page
staff and decisive cartoon is
one that leaves it free
will and the one that summarizes the meaning
the project we see in these
words you want a cleaner world
give yourself a move from is up to you and
almost closes the balloon into a cartoon
outdoors where there are boys
with a big smile ready to get busy
said that in terms adults is not to
it is said that to force things that do not
They go you just can not change
busy every day with commitment and
willpower
so after nights spent trying to
modify the tables up to make them
perfect I was able to do it
publish the comic was
published in two editions a note
emilia process involves the balloon is
It was used as a tool
awareness by teachers
activists and associations that
organized at school and evening activities
theme in the region has been in schools
distributed in 109 class was
distributed in some libraries and
Volunteers interested in this summary
I mean that you can reject
a mindset based on lack of interest
towards important issues simplifying
actually making it understandable
involving in this project
teachers student activists then
make them work together to reject the
mentality of power relations that
has been created in this society
running from bullies
the underworld
in this whole process I have changed
because I know I can reach
any goal
We just need to commit and condense all
in the spirit of sacrifice
But what really gave me the
power
throughout this journey was to see
the reactions of the boys was very
very very exciting to see kids
smiling as they saw cats talk
Mafia to figure out what
They were reading without confiscating
fatigue and these little things that you
finds the strength these little things that
become more and more up to
to change society
thank you
