Vincenzo Cretella, at 104, did not stop having wanted to help draw the future of his land. And yesterday morning he went to the 49 seat in via Roma, in Cosenza, accompanied by a family member to vote. A gesture of great civic sense that demonstrates how much this man, with more than a century on his shoulders, cultivates the seed of democracy. Cretella is a symbol to oppose the abstentionists who desert the polls.
And his is not an isolated example because in Verbicaro, a small town in the Upper Tyrrhenian Cosentino, a centenary, Maria Filomena Sarro, yesterday morning, crossed the door of the seat of via Pietro Mancini perpetuating to vote. The regional ones are not useless elections and this woman who crossed the milestone of the century of life last week, proves it. “Only once in my whole life I didn’t go to the polls, but because I was sick,” he explained leaving the electoral seat. From northern Calabria, therefore, encouraging signs for democracy come.
