The old you: after the Sardines, now it's up to Sardoni

Name: the Sardoni. Slogan: "for Those who still are not resting". Special markings: swimming in the open sea by the many spring, have white hair and no desire to sit on the couch. Are grandfathers and grandmothers, the fathers and mothers of the more well-known Sardines, and it will be true that the heroes are all young and beautiful, but also they are proud to lend a hand, let their voices be heard, give advice, navigate through the paradoxes: "We were adopted by our children."

In the emilia-Romagna region is a movement in the movement, one of the Sardoni in fact, that the 10 January at 17 he has made an appointment: room Buzzi via Berlinguer, Ravenna. Well as the philosopher, Stefano Bonaga has said that there will be. The manager of the new fish species is called Daniele Perini : 60 years old, married, employee, local health boards and the local councillor of the civic list "Love-Ravenna, that the last administrative has supported the centre-left. From small, he always went in the house to rest "Garibaldi" to listen to the stories of grandparents, "because they had an answer to my every question." From great, riding association, he helped build a social centre for the elderly. He says that loneliness is, at times, hurts more than the illness or advancing age.

What they want Sardoni ? "First of all," explains Perini – it is necessary to say that the Sardines have had the courage to take to the streets again. The grandparents, at their age, they had done the Liberation, a lot of people in the Romagna gave his life for this. We want to carry forward our values and share them. Today's generations do not meet more: once upon a time there were the bar, the section of the party, the circle. Instead, we have grandparents who play the young people, and young people who are sad because they don't see a future in this Country".

Perini has already spoken with the representatives of the Sardines, and ensures that the young fish are happy about the idea. The grandparents, in their turn, they want to bring forward their demands: "We are proactive," continues the head of the Sardoni –: there is a generation, which has between 70 and 90 years, which is not represented. A quiet revolution . The Sardines down in the square to restore the dignity of politics, and we also don't want to go to sleep. I know grandmothers of 95 years of age, who volunteer, their husbands enrolled in the music classes, the lord and make the video call with the boyfriend. And I've seen people sick of solitude . In a few years we shall experience a demographic emergency: too many old, few young people. This is already exploded the phenomenon of family homes, but it is not enough: you have to think of new forms of welfare, otherwise not you have to do is fill in the rest houses, abandon these people to the indifference, when they have so much to give". © Reproduction reserved
