Rome, Dec. 2 (LaPresse) – "We want to try before Christmas, for the emergency of kindness and not the emergency of heat as it was in summer, we want to make an appeal for something to happen immediately, with a decree, a measure? My invitation is to those who have the power and authority to do so to address today even just the light bulb and not the chandelier and the moon, but a little breathing room for those who have almost already served their sentence and perhaps continue to face it within themselves." So said Senate President Ignazio La Russa, speaking at the presentation of the book by Gianni Alemanno and Fabio Falbo, ‘The denied emergency. The collapse of Italian prisons’. "Rather than thinking about the ideal solution, we need to see how to do it step by step. I have tried to take a small step, but it takes time. Something needs to be done in these two years. It's not working, it hasn't worked. The ability of the world that deals with this problem to push for small steps. If we ask for the moon, we won't get a light bulb, but if we ask for a chandelier, we might get a light bulb. For example, we will have the opportunity for two authors of a book like this to go around presenting it," he added.
