The book, which reports the preface by Rocco Bellantone, president of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) and Mons. Francesco Savino, vice -president of the CEI, and the afterword of the magistrate Luciano Gerardis, offers A profound look at Calabria suspended between beauty and difficulties, where determination and synergy can make the difference. With empathy and concreteness, the author, journalist of the “Gazzetta del Sud” and spokesperson of the Guarantor’s Office, tells the stories of those who found the strength not to surrender and of those who worked to build solidarity bridges. Each chapter of “bring me to the sea” is a journey into the heart of a vulnerable health system, between apparently insurmountable challenges and conquests that laugh with dignity and trust to those who need it most. In two years of mandate, the Guarantor took charge and resolved stories that seemed without a way out working alongside the health authorities, doctors, associations and citizens, often with the support of local journalists, real “sentinels” of the territory. “Bring me to the sea” is a journey to Calabria that does not surrender, which struggles for its rights and which finds hope even in the most difficult situations. Each story is a mosaic of emotions in which the sea, the guiding thread of these stories, represents the possibility of finding serenity after each storm.
